Suzuki front diff torque settings.

[ONOescudo]

Hi all.
Going to replace the old broken crown wheel and pinion in my Escudo front diff. (well the man at the garage is).
We need:
 Back lash.
 Pinion torque.
 Crown wheel bolts torque.
Also replacing bearings and seals and crush spacer.

Have just spent $25 on an online workshop manual at www.tradebit.com “ 1996-1998 SUZUKI SIDEKICK & GEO TRECKER SERVICE MANUAL” and for my wagon it is useless.
Have also done quite a bit of searching.
Any help on these specs would be great.

Dont quote me but this is what I found online (was for installing vit gears in a sammy carrier but I assume they are similar)

Pinion bearing preload 7.8 - 14.7 lb-in
Bevel Gear Backlash (0.004-0.006")

Torque specs...
Side Bearing cap bolt 51-72 ft lbs
Drive Bevel gear bolt 58-65
Diff. case bolt 27-32.5
side bearing adj lock bolt 7-10
Diff carrier bolt 13.5-20

dont forget they are from a sammy carrier and not the vitara one so they may be less as it is ali not steel !!

Check with Suzuki dealer or whatever for figures.
