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). 81 mm Shim
