Differential
ASSEMBLYDIFFERENTIAL
Assemble in the numbered order shown in the image.
NOTE
a. Wash all parts.
b. Apply oil to all friction surfaces.
c. Use new spring pins and retaining rings.
Side Bearing Inner Race
Install the side bearing inner race by the SST, as shown in the image.
NOTE: Press to 19,620N (2,000 kg, 4,400 lb)
Side Gear and Pinion Gear
After installing thrust washers on the side gears, place the two side gears into the gear case at the same time, turn them back on the pinion gear and install them into the gear case.
NOTE: The pinion gears and pinion shaft hole must be aligned.
Knock-pin
After installing the knock pin, make a crimp so that the pin cannot come out of the gear case.
Backlash of Side Gear and Pinion Gear
Check and adjust by the following procedures:
1. Install the left and right driveshafts on the differential assembly.
2. Support the driveshafts on V-blocks, as shown in the image.
3. Measure the backlash of both pinion gears.
Standard backlash: 0-0.1 mm (0-0.004 in)
4. If the backlash is more than the standard, adjust by selecting a thrust washer from the table to go between the case and side gears.
NOTE: Use thrust washers with the same thickness on each side as much as possible.
