Install the pinion assembly with the selected spacer above and measure the circumference backlash on pinion.
(Measuring diameter, backlash and permissible deviations for measurement on pinion, see table below).
If the result is out of permissible range, change the spacer thickness S2, then start again with the step 8~12).
Tips For Spacer Adjustment For Hypoid Gear Backlash And Contact Pattern
Item
Symptom
Remedy
Backlash
When more than the standard value (0.16 ~ 0.21mm)
Adjust backlash by installing the spacer S1 using a thinner one and gradually installing a thicker one.
When less than the standard value (0.16 ~0.21mm)
Adjust backlash by installing the spacer S1 using a thicker one and gradually installing a thinner one.

Item
Symptom
Remedy
Hypoid gear tooth contact pattern

Normal state
Standard tooth pattern
-
Both drive and coast surfaces are in center in lateral direction and slightly incline to TOE side in vertical direction
If the pattern deviates from the standard, adjust it by following procedure

Abnormal state
The drive surface inclines to TOE and TOP and the coast surface inclines to HEEL and TOP
The tooth contact pattern can be moved to the arrow direction by installing the spacer S2 using a thinner one and gradually installing a thicker one.

19.
Remove the pinion assembly. With the spacer S3 and transfer cover mounted, combined preload torque for the hypoid gear shaft assembly and transfer gear (measured on transfer gear) should be 2.7 to 3.8Nm. The spacer S3 has to be changed, if the preload torque is not within the permissible range.
20.
Tighten the pinion assembly mounting bolts (B-7EA) to install the pinion assembly(A).

Tightening torque :
37~40 Nm(3.7~4.0 kgf.m, 14.5~21.7 lb-ft)

1.
Before installing the pinion assembly, check the pinion O-ring and apply the oil to the O-ring.
2.
To make the installation of the pinion to the transfer easier, tap the pinion using a plastic hammer after aligning the bolt holes.
