Disassembly





1. Install the special tools (clutch side shown).





2. Remove the taper roller bearings off the differential (transaxle side shown).
- Remove the sensor ring off Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS).





3. Remove differential pinions and the ring gear.
1. Rotate the front driveshaft differential pinions through 90 degrees whilst they are still inside the differential housing and remove them.
2. Remove the snap-ring and the shaft.
- Remove the two differential pinions and plastic thrust elements.
3. Remove the eight bolts and the ring gear.

Assembly

1. NOTE: Do not oil taper roller bearings, which are to be used again. There is no need to treat new taper roller bearings before installing them.

Carefully clean and check all parts and coat with transmission fluid before reassembly.





2. Install the ring gear and the differential pinions.
1. Install the ring gear by evenly tightening the previously used bolts.
- Move the plastic thrust elements and differential pinions into the installation position.
2. Install the pin and the snap-ring
3. Insert the front driveshaft differential pinions and rotate them through 90 degrees once they are inside the differential housing.





3. NOTE: Use new ring gear bolts.

Install the transaxle side taper roller bearing and the eight spur gear bolts.
1. Evenly tighten the ring gear bolts by working diagonally.
2. Install the VSS sensor ring.

NOTE: Do not rest on the lower taper roller bearing.

3. Using the special tools, install the taper roller bearing.





4. Install the clutch side taper roller bearing.
- Evenly heat the bearing to approximately 80°C and slide it onto the differential.
