IDLER GEAR ASSEMBLY


BUE051719203A02

1. Press the new bearing races in using the SST.

2. Install a new bearing onto the idle gear shaft, and install the idler gear, spacer, and bearing component.

3. Secure the SST and the idler gear shaft component in a vise.

4. Install the locknut.

Tightening torque
148-196 N·m {15-20 kgf·m, 109-144 ft·lbf}
Caution
• Use protective plates in the vise to prevent damage to the idler gear.
Note
• Read the preload when the idler shaft starts to turn.

5. Secure the idler gear in a vise.

Note
• Measure several times and calculate the average value.

6. Measure the bearing preload using the SSTs.

• If the specified preload cannot be obtained within the specified tightening torque, adjust it by selecting the proper spacer from below.
Note
• Preload is reduced by increasing the thickness of the spacer or increased by reducing the thickness.
