surfaces of the drive gear teeth.



(2) Insert the brass between the differential carrier and the
differential case, and then rotate the companion flange by
hand (once in the normal direction, and then once in the =” :
reverse direction) while applying a load to the drive gear so +.‘.’
that the revolution torque [approximately 2.5 to 3.0 Nm (1.8 $:
to 2.2 ft.lbs.)] is applied to the drive pinion. II !!,

Caution *‘i-.
If the drive gear is rotated too much, the tooth contact ‘8 4
pattern will become unclear and difficult to check.
(3) Check the tooth contact condition of th drive gear and
drive pinion.
NOTE
1. Checking the tooth contack pattern is the way to
confirm that the adjustments of the pinion height and
backlash have been done properly.
2. Continue to adjust the pinion height and backlash nutil
the tooth contact pattern resembles the standard
pattern.
3. If, even after adjustments have been made, the correct
tooth contact pattern cannot be obtained, it means that
.the drive gear and the drive pinion have become worn ,:
beyond the allowable limit; replace the gear set. :.
