Differential Backlash And Bearing Preload
The following procedure controls backlash and bearing preload. This procedure gives the same results for used and new bearings.1. Install bearings (9) on differential halves.2. Assemble the differential in the carrier. Torque the differential assembly bolts (10) to a torque of ... 150 N m (110 lb ft)3. Install bearing races (11) and nuts (12).4. With the differential assembly in position, tighten nut (12) nearest the bevel gear until a backlash of 0.010 to 0.250 mm (.0004 to .0098 in) is obtained. Rotate the differential several times during this procedure.5. Tighten the other differential (12) nut until there is zero bearing end play, then tighten this same nut (12) two additional lugs.6. Recheck the backlash. If necessary, adjust the nuts (12) the same amount in opposite directions to obtain the backlash of ... 0.010 to 0.025 mm (.0004 to .0098 in)7. Install lock pins.Kingpin Bearing Preload
1. With the upper and lower kingpin bearing race in place, position the steering knuckles on the end of the drive axle housing.2. Install lower kingpin assembly (13) and bolts (14). Torque bolts (14) to ... 120 N m (90 lb ft)3. Install upper kingpin assembly (15) and bolts (16) without shim (17). Tighten bolts (16) evenly until the steer knuckle rolling torque is ... 10 to 12 N m (90 to 108 lb in).4. Use a feeler gauge and measure the gap between upper kingpin (15) and the steer knuckle in three places.5. Average the three measurements to get the required shim thickness.6. Remove upper kingpin (15) and install shim (17), reassemble and torque bolts (16).Upper kingpin shims: 9R-5822 - 0.2 mm (.008 in)9R-5821 - 0.3 mm (.012 in)054-6539 - 0.4 mm (.016 in)054-6533 - 0.6 mm (.024 in)054-6540 - 0.8 mm (.032 in)054-6534 - 1.0 mm (.039 in)054-6535 - 1.4 mm (.055 in)054-6537 - 1.8 mm (.071 in)054-6538 - 2.0 mm (0.79 in)See Front Drive Axle Toe-In Adjustment for 4-WDWheel Bearing Preload
1. With bearing races installed in hub, place inner bearing (18) in the inside race.2. Install nylon seal (19) with the lip toward the bearing.3. Slide the hub assembly on the knuckle spindle.4. Install outer bearing (20), planetary ring gear (21) and hub nut (22).5. Tighten hub nut (22) until the hub rolling torque is ... 13 to 17 N m (117 to 153 lb in)6. Install lock and lock bolts. Torque lock bolts to ... 53 N m (39 lb ft)

1. Install thrust plate (28) with the ground side showing towards side gear (29).2. Assemble plate pack (27) (5 outer and 4 inner plates), alternating outer and inner plates starting with 1.3 mm (.0511 in) outer plate. Align and insert them into differential case (26).3. Insert thrust washer and differential pinions into the differential case and fix by means of differential shaft (30). Pay attention to the differential shaft installation position
