Transfer Output Retainer Assembly Disassembly and Reassembly: Reassembly

CAUTION: Using bolts other than the specified bolts may cause problems with the rear differential. Use only the specified bolts.
  1. To mesh bevel gears correctly, it is prerequired to install bevel pinion to transfer output retainer properly by using adjusting shim (bevel pinion shim) as follows.
    1. Install front taper roller bearing (1) to bevel pinion dummy (special tools).

      3. 09922-76340 
      4. 09922-76150 
      NOTE: This installation requires no spacer or oil seal.

    3. Tighten bevel pinion nut (special tool) so that specified bearing preload is obtained.
      NOTE: Before taking measurement, check for rotation by hand more than 15 revolutions.

      Rotational torque of bevel pinion (Bearing preload) 

      0.50 - 1.30 N.m (0.05 - 0.13 kgf-m, 0.35 - 0.95 lbf-ft)

    4. Measure height "b" in figure by using vernier caliper.

      Calculate "c" by using measured value.

      HEIGHT SPECIFICATIONS

      Distance "c" = Height "b" - Height "a" 40 mm (1.575 in.)

    5. Obtain adjusting shim thickness by the following equation.
      SHIM THICKNESS SPECIFICATIONS

      Necessary shim thickness "f" = Distance "c" + Distance "d" - Distance "e" 74.0 mm (2.913 in.) 101.95 mm (4.014 in.)

    6. Select a shim closest to the calculated value (necessary shim thickness) from among the available shims or combine shims to become closest to calculated value.

      For example: 

      Measure distance "b" is 69.95 mm (2.754 in.).

      "c" = 69.95 mm (2.754 in.) - 40.0 mm (1.757 in.) = 29.95 mm (1.179 in.)

      "f" = 29.95 mm (1.179 in.) + 74.0 mm (2.913 in.) - 101.95 mm (4.014 in.) = 2.0 mm (0.079 in.)

      Calculated thickness of new shim = 2.0 mm (0.079 in.)

      Available bevel pinion shim thickness 

      0.30, 1.85, 1.88, 1.91, 1.94, 1.97, 2.00, 2.03, 2.06, 2.09, 2.12 and 2.15 mm (0.012, 0.072, 0.074, 0.075, 0.076, 0.077, 0.078, 0.079, 0.081, 0.082, 0.083 and 0.084 in.) 

  2. Press-fit outer races (front and rear) by using special tool and hydraulic press.

  6. Apply grease to new oil seal lip.

    "A": Grease 99000-25011 (SUZUKI Super Grease A) 

  7. Drive in oil seal (1) by using special tools and hammer.

  8. Install transfer output flange (1) by tapping with plastic hammer and tighten transfer output flange nut gradually so as rotational torque of bevel pinion to be in specified value.
    NOTE:
    • If rotational torque of bevel pinion exceeds specification given in the following, replace pinion shaft spacer and tighten flange nut.
    • Before taking measurement of rotational torque, rotate pinion over ten rounds in advance.
