Components





Disassembly





1. Remove the drive gear retaining bolts and remove the drive gear from the differential case.





2. Remove the tapered roller bearing inner race by using the special tools (09433-21000, 09434-14200).
3. Drive out the lock pin with a punch inserted in hole "A".
4. Remove the pinion shaft, pinion gears and washers.
5. Remove the side gears and spacers. Separate the gears and spacers into right and left sides.

Reassembly





1. With the spacers installed on back of the differential side gears, install the gear in the differential case. If you are reusing the parts, install them in their original positions noted during parts, install them in their original positions noted during disassembly. If using new differential side gears, install spacers of medium thickness 1.0 mm (0.039 inch).
2. Install the washers on back of the pinion gears, install the gears in the differential case, and then insert pinion shaft.
3. Measure the backlash between the side gear and pinion gear. Backlash should be 0.025 - 0.150 mm (0.0010 - 0.059 inch) and the right and left gear pairs should have equal backlash. If the backlash is out of specification, disassemble and reassemble them by using spacers selected for correct backlash.

Standard value: 0.025 - 0.150 mm (0.0010 - 0.0059 inch)


Kinds of spacer









4. Install the pinion shaft lock pin in direction specified in illustration. After installation, check to ensure that projection is less than 3 mm (0.118 inch).





5. Press the tapered roller bearing inner races onto both ends of the differential case. Apply a load to the inner race when pressing in the bearings. Do not apply a load to the outer race.
6. Install the differential drive gear onto the case with special tool (09434-14200).





7. Apply ATF to the bolts and tighten to the specified torque in the sequence shown in the illustration.

Tightening torque: 130 - 140 Nm (1,300 - 1,400 kgf. cm; 94 - 101 ft. lbs.)
