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 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 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 - 0.1mm (0 - 0.004 in)




Disassembly Note
Bearing (side opposite ring gear)

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

1. Support the gear case to keep it from falling.
2. Remove the bearing by using the SST.




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




Assembly Note
Bearing (side opposite ring gear)
1. Install the speedometer drive gear.
2. Install the new bearing by using the SST.




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




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