Disassembly/Inspection/Assembly

CAUTION: Do not remove the inner race if not necessary.




1. Before disassembly, inspect the backlash of side gear and pinion gear, referring to Preinspection.
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.




Preinspection
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 the backlash exceed specification, adjust by selecting and installing thrust washers between the case and the side gears.

CAUTION: Use thrust washers with the same thickness on each side.




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)

NOTE: Use pads In the vise.

1. Remove the bearing inner race with the SST.




Inspection
Inspect all parts and repair or replace as necessary.

Ring gear and ring case

NOTE: If the gear case is replaced, adjust the bearing preload.

1. Inspect the ring gear for wear and cracks.




Bearing inner race

NOTE:
- When replacing the bearing Inner race, replace the bearing outer race and Inner race as a set.
- If the bearing is replaced, adjust the bearing preload.

1. Inspect for wear and rough rotation.




Assembly Note
Speedometer drive gear
1. Install the speedometer drive gear as shown in the image.




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.




Roll pin
1. Install the new roll pin as shown in the image to hold the pinion shaft.




Backlash of Side Gear and Pinion Gear
Measure the backlash by the following procedure.
1. Install the 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, select the proper thrust washers.
