torque them down at this time.

NOTE : You should feel no backlash between the ring and
pinion gears once the adjuster nut tightens.
c Reverse the adjuster nut (counterclockwise) ¼ turn.

ring and pinion gears. If not, there might be a
clearance problem which is binding the carrier.
Re-check the clearance.
