      • SST: 09330-00021 

      Torque: 140 N.m (1428 kgf/cm, 103 ft.lbf) 

      WARNING:

      The total preload may be within the standard even when the transfer output shaft companion flange sub-assembly is loose. If the transfer output shaft companion flange sub-assembly is installed in this state, the vehicle may be damaged or lead to a serious accident.

      NOTE:

      Tighten the output shaft companion flange nut until there is no more looseness in the transfer output shaft companion flange sub-assembly and it turns to the right and left with the same amount of force.

      HINT: 

      After temporarily installing the output shaft companion flange nut, be sure to adjust the preoload.

  3. INSPECT TOTAL PRELOAD 
    1. Using a torque wrench, measure the total preload (starting torque) with the teeth of the transfer driven pinion and transfer ring gear in contact.

      HINT: 

      • The torque wrench should be installed as shown in the illustration.
      • For a more accurate measurement, rotate the bearing forward and backward several times before the measurement.
      • Use the preload value measured prior to disassembling the transfer assembly as the standard value.
      • Adjust within the standard value (Adjustable range within +/- 0.2 N.m of the measured preload value).
    2. If the preload is not as specified, perform the procedures below.
      1. If the measured preoload is higher than the standard value:

        Replace the rear drive pinion bearing and transfer pinion bearing spacer, and then adjust the preload again.

      2. If the measured preoload is lower than the standard value:

        Tighten the output shaft companion flange nut, and then adjust the preload again.

  4. INSTALL OUTPUT SHAFT COMPANION FLANGE NUT 
    1. Place a matchmark on SST as shown in the illustration.

      Standard Depth

      -0.5 to 0.5 mm (-0.0197 to 0.0197 in.)

      NOTE:
      • Tap the transfer case oil seal RH uniformly so that the transfer case oil seal RH is straight.
      • Do not tap the transfer case oil seal RH in too far.
