RA-10 REAR AXLE AND SUSPENSION - IRS Type Rear Axle Shaft (c) Revolve the shaft back and forth to snug it down (d) Measure the rotation torque (initial resistance) while turning the side gear shaft. (e) Torque the nuts. Torque: 800 kg-cm (58 ft-lb, 78 N-m) (f) Using a torque wrench, check the preload rotation. Preload (rotation): Add initial resistance torque 1-4 kg-cm (0.9-3.5 in.-lb, 0.1-0.4 N-m) NOTE: Turn the flange one turn per 6 seconds and measure the preload. If preload is less than specification, retighten the nut 5-10° at a time until the specified preload is reached. Maximum torque: 2,000 kg-cm (145 ft-lb, 196 N-m) 3. IF THERE IS EXCESS PRELOAD, CORRECT IN FOLLOWING PROCEDURE (a) Remove the axle flange. (b) Remove the rear axle shaft and spacer. (c) Remove the outside bearing and oil seal. (d) Install the outer bearing and oil seal. (e) Install the rear axle shaft, new bearing spacer and flange. (f) Readjust preload.
