1. At normal room temperature, measure the starting torque of the differential assembly by rotating it in both directions with the special tool and a torque wrench (A).

   Standard: | 3.43−4.51 N·m (35−46 kgf·cm, 30−40 lbf·in.)

1. If the carrier bearing preload is not within the standard, select a 81 mm thrust shim that will provide the correct preload:
   - Compare the bearing preload you got on the first try with the specified preload of 3.43−4.51 N·m (35−46 kgf·cm, 30−40 lbf·in.).
   - If the preload you measured was less than specified, subtract it from the specified preload.
   - If the preload you measured was more than specified, subtract it from the specified preload.
   For example, with a 2.50 mm (0.098 in.) thrust shim:

   (1) specified | 4.51 N·m (46 kgf·cm, 40 lbf·in.)
   − you got less | 2.55 N·m (26 kgf·cm, 23 lbf·in.)
   | 1.96 N·m (20 kgf·cm, 17 lbf·in.) less

   (2) you got more | 5.29 N·m (54 kgf·cm, 47 lbf·in.)
   − specified | 4.51 N·m (46 kgf·cm, 40 lbf·in.)
   | 0.78 N·m (8 kgf·cm, 7 lbf·in.) more

   NOTE: Each shim size up or down from standard makes about 0.3−0.4 N·m (3−4 kgf·cm, 2.6−3.5 lbf·in.) difference in preload.
   In example (1), your preload was 1.96 N·m (20 kgf·cm, 17 lbf·in.) less than standard, so you need a thrust shim five sizes thicker than standard (try the 2.65 mm (0.104 in.) 81 mm thrust shim, and recheck).
   In example (2), your preload was 0.78 N·m (8 kgf·cm, 7 lbf·in.) more than standard, so you need a thrust shim two sizes thinner (try the 2.44 mm (0.096 in.) 81 mm thrust shim, and recheck).
