Total Starting Torque Measurement
- Remove the transfer assembly (see TRANSFER ASSEMBLY REMOVAL ).
- Secure the transfer housing (A) in a bench vise (B) with wood blocks. To prevent damaging the transfer housing, always use wood blocks or equivalent materials between the transfer housing and the vise.
- Rotate the companion flange several turns to seat the tapered roller bearings.
- Measure the total starting torque at the companion flange (C) with a torque wrench (D) and a socket (E).
Standard: 2.64-4.23 N.m (26.9-43.1 kgf.cm, 23.3-37.4 lbf.in)
- If the total starting torque is out of standard, replace the transfer assembly.
