Assembly Procedure
- Press the new bearing races in using the SST .
- Install a new bearing onto the idle gear shaft, and install the idler gear, spacer, and bearing component.
- Secure the SST and the idler gear shaft component in a vise.
- Install the locknut.
Tightening Torque
- 148-196 N.m {15-20 kgf.m, 109-144 ft.lbf}
CAUTION:- Use protective plates in the vise to prevent damage to the idler gear.
NOTE:- Read the preload when the idler shaft starts to turn.
- Secure the idler gear in a vise.NOTE:
- Measure several times and calculate the average value.
- Measure the bearing preload using the SSTs
.
- If the specified preload cannot be obtained within the specified tightening torque, adjust it by selecting the proper spacer from below.
NOTE:- Preload is reduced by increasing the thickness of the spacer or increased by reducing the thickness.
