Differential

1. Before disassembly, inspect the backlash of the side gear and pinion gear, referring to Preinspection.
2. Disassemble in the order shown in the image, referring to Disassembly Note.
3. Inspect all pans 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 drive shafts in the differential assembly.
2. Support the drive shafts 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 exceeds specification, adjust by selecting and installing thrust washers between the case and the side gears. Thrust washers on one side should match those on the other side in thickness.




Disassembly Note
Bearing (side opposite ring gear)

NOTE: The bearing does not need to be removed unless you are replacing it.

Remove the bearing by using the SST.




Bearing (ring gear side)
Remove the bearing by using the SST.




Inspection
Inspect all parts and repair or replace as necessary.

Ring gear and gear case assembly
Inspect the ring gear for wear and cracks. If the ring gear is replaced, adjust the bearing preload.




Bearing
Inspect for wear and rough rotation. If the bearing is removed, then replace it and the bearing race together, and adjust the bearing preload.




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




Bearing (side opposite ring gear)
Install the new bearing by using the SST.




Bearing (ring gear side)
Install the bearing by using the SST.




Roll pin
Install the new roll pin with the split facing as shown.




Backlash of Side Gear and Pinion Gear
Measure the backlash by the following procedure.
1. Install the drive shafts in the differential assembly.
2. Support the drive shafts 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.
