Preload is more for the life of the bearings than the gears. You preload =
a bearing to take up manufacturing tolerances and account for the =
anticipated (by the manufacturer of the bearings) wear during their life =
time. There does need to be some 'squeeze" between the bearing races and =
the rollers or the rollers will not roll in lubrication. If any of you =
have ever rebuilt the rear outer suspension on old XKEs, the tapers =
roller bearing in the outer wishbone pivots wear out because the =
wishbone only moves up and down a few degrees. The tapered roller =
bearings never fully rotate and cause the rollers and race to pit. =
Roller bearing must roll 360 degrees around to survive. Preload makes =
them do that.

I think the main reason a specified amount of preload is required is =

Yes it's basically because things want to move around a lot & the pinion =
wants to stretch.with torque on/off loads.
Over time as the bearings wear, the preload will be lost, and any =
further wear will cause the gears to be out of mesh and the pattern will =
be lost and then they'll wear.

Does someone know why that preload is necessary? When I check a =

all, I tend to be lazy, assuming no preload means less friction loss.

Hi Scott I think that's the torque required to turn the pinion. Put a =
socket to fit the pinion nut on a?? inch pound torque wrench; measure =
how much torque it takes to turn the pinion. Get it turning and read the =
torque wrench while turning it. 12 to 15 inch pounds sounds ok. With =
shims either add or remove shims to get the correct preload. Thicker to =
lessen and thinner to increase I think.
With a collapsible spacer it's easier. Keep?? tightening the nut and =
measuring the preload until it's right. Small increments. If you over =
tighten you take it apart and start over with a new spacer. (Ask me how =
I know this!)
Also a "clicker" torque wrench isn't the ticket for this. Use an older =
beam type.
Hope this helps.
Cheers Bill
