INSTALLATION

Pinion Torque To Rotate (PTTR) is:

• Original Bearings: 1.13 - 2.26 N·m (10 - 20 in. lbs.).
• New Bearings: 1.7 - 3.4 N·m (15 - 30 in. lbs.).

CAUTION: If more than 542 N·m (400 ft. lbs.) torque is required to crush the collapsible spacer, the spacer is defective and must be replaced. Never loosen pinion nut to decrease pinion bearing rotating torque and never exceed specified preload torque. Failure to follow these instructions may result in damage.

CAUTION: Never reuse ring gear bolts. Failure to follow these instructions may result in damage.

Total Torque To Rotate is: Pinion Torque To Rotate (PTTR) plus 0.79 - 1.24 N·m (7 - 11 in lbs.).

NOTE: If TTTR is too high, decrease shim thickness equally from both sides of the differential and check TTTR again. If TTTR is too low, increase shim thickness equally to both sides of the differential and check TTTR again.
