Pinion rolling resistance recorded in figure 152 should be 1.13-3.95 Nm [10-35 LBF/IN]. If within specification remove nut, spacer and flange. If not within specification repeat steps in figures 150-152 making appropriate spacer substitution. If rolling resistance is too low reduce spacer thickness. If rolling resistance is too high increase spacer thickness. Figure 150 Install pinion spacer.
