1 Install the dynamometer (2) with the socket (1) in the flange nut that attaches the drive gear (3).
2 Turn the drive gear (3) manually, at least, three turns and then, turn it with the dynamometer reading the moment of friction.
If the moment of friction is higher or smaller than the specified value, disassemble the pinion again and replace the compensation washer by another with higher smaller thickness, as necessary. Repeat this procedure until you obtain the specified moment of friction.
For reused bearings, which seating was already performed, the moment of friction can be smaller and, for bearings that still requires the seating, the moment of friction can be higher.
3 Lock the flange nut.
