Disassembly/Inspection/Assembly

CAUTION: Do not remove inner race if not necessary.




1. Before disassembly, inspect the backlash of side gear and pinion gear, referring to Pre-inspection.
2. Disassemble in the order shown in the image, referring to Disassembly Note.
3. Inspect all parts and repair or replace as necessary.
4. Assemble in the reverse order of disassembly, referring to Assembly Note.
5. Measure the backlash after assembly, referring to Backlash of Side Gear and Pinion Gear.




Pre-inspection
Backlash of side gear and pinion gear
Measure the backlash by the following procedure.
1. Install the left and right driveshafts in the differential assembly.
2. Support the driveshafts on V-blocks as shown in the image.
3. Measure the backlash of both pinion gears.

Backlash: 0 - 0.1 mm (0 - 0.0039 in.)




Disassembly Note
Side bearing inner race (side opposite ring gear)

CAUTION: Hold the gear case with one hand so that it does not fall.

1. Remove the bearing inner race with the SST.




Side bearing inner race (ring gear side)

CAUTION: Use pads in the vise to prevent damaging the differential assembly.

1. Remove the bearing inner race with the SST.




Assembly Note
Side bearing inner race (Side opposite ring gear)
1. Install the speedometer drive gear.
2. Install the new side bearing inner race with the SST.




Side bearing inner race (ring gear side)
1. Install the new bearing inner race with the SST.




Backlash of Side Gear and Pinion Gear
Measure the backlash by the following procedure.
1. Install the left and right driveshafts in the differential assembly.
2. Support the driveshafts on V-blocks as shown in the image.
3. Measure the backlash of both pinion gears.

Backlash: 0 - 0.1 mm (0 - 0.004 in.)

4. If not as specified, replace the differential assembly.
