Drive Pinion Shaft Assembly: Assembly

  1. Measure the dimension "A" of drive pinion shaft.

  2. Using a press, press-fit the new roller bearing into the specified position.
    NOTE: If excessive force is applied to roller bearing, the roller bearing will not turn easily.

  3. After fitting a new O-ring to the shaft, attach the drive pinion collar to the shaft.
  4. Install the lock washer to drive pinion shaft in the proper direction.
  5. Tighten the new lock nuts using ST1, ST2 and ST3.

    Calculate the lock washer and lock nut specifications using following formula.

    T2 = L2/(L1 + L2) x T1

    T1: 116 N.m (11.8 kgf-m, 85.3 ft-lb)

    [Required torque setting]

    T2: Tightening torque

    L1: ST2 length 0.072 m (2.83 in)

    L2: Torque wrench length

    Example:

    TORQUE WRENCH LENGTH SPECIFICATION

    Torque wrench length m(in) Tightening torque N.m (kgf-m, ft-lb)
    0.4(15.75) 98 (10.0, 72)
    0.45(17.72) 100(10.2,73.8)
    0.5(19.69) 101 (10.3,74.5)
    0.55(21.65) 102 (10.4, 75)

    ST2 499787700 WRENCH

    ST3 499787500 ADAPTER

    NOTE: Attach ST2 to torque wrench as straight as possible.

  6. Measure the starting torque of the bearing. Make sure the starting torque is within the specified range. If the torque is not within specified range, replace the roller bearing.

    Starting torque: 

    7.6 - 38.1N (0.776 - 3.88 kgf, 1.7- 8.6 lb)

  7. Crimp the lock nut in 2 locations.
  8. Measure dimension "B" of the drive pinion shaft.

  9. Calculate the thickness "t" (mm) of the drive pinion shim.

    t = 6.5±0.0625 - (B - A)

  10. Select three or less shims from following table.
