SA–73 SUSPENSION AND AXLE – REAR DIFFERENTIAL SST SST (or 36 mm Deep Socket) R07225 9. TEMPORARILY ADJUST DRIVE PINION PRELOAD (a) Adjust the drive pinion preload by tightening the nut. HINT: Using SST (and a 36 mm deep socket wrench) to hold the companion flange, tighten the nut. SST 09229–55010 (Except 2JZ–GTE M/T), 09330–00021 NOTICE: As there is no spacer, tighten the nut a little at a time, being careful not to overtighten it. SST (or 36 mm Deep Socket) R00054 Z08859 (b) Using SST (or a 36 mm deep socket) and a torque wrench, measure the drive pinion preload. SST 09229–55010 Preload (at start): New bearing 2JZ–GTE M/T 2.0–2.5 N·m (20–25 kgf·cm, 17.3–21.7 in.·lbf) Except 2JZ–GTE M/T 1.2–1.8 N·m (12–18 kgf·cm, 10.8–16.0 in.·lbf) Reused bearing 2JZ–GTE M/T 1.0–1.2 N·m (10–12 kgf·cm, 8.9–10.6 in.·lbf) Except 2JZ–GTE M/T 0.5–0.8 N·m (5–8 kgf·cm, 4.3–6.9 in.·lbf) SST R00039 10. INSTALL SIDE BEARING OUTER RACE (AND ADJUST PLATE WASHER) 2JZ–GTE M/T: Using SST and a press, press the outer race. SST 09608–35014 (09608–06020, 09608–06150) Except 2JZ–GTE M/T: Using SST and a press, press the outer race and adjusting plate washer. SST 09608–35014 (09608–06020, 09608–06210) R00022 11. INSTALL DIFFERENTIAL CASE IN CARRIER Install the drive side bearing in the differential carrier first, as shown in the illustration, then install the differential case.
