Disassembly/Inspection/Assembly

NOTE: The bearings do not need to be removed unless you are replacing them.




1. Before disassembly, inspect the backlash of the side gears and pinion gears, referring to Preinspection.
2. Disassemble in the order shown in the image, referring to Disassembly Note.
3. Assemble in the reverse order of disassembly, referring to Assembly Note.
4. Measure the backlash after assembly, referring to Backlash of Side Gear and Pinion Gear.




Disassembly Note
Bearing (side opposite ring gear)
While supporting the gear case, remove the bearing by using the SST.




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




Inspection
Ring gear and gear case assembly
Inspect the ring gear for wear and cracks. Check bearing preload adjustment, if the ring gear and gear case assembly is being replaced.




Bearing
Inspect for wear and rough rotation. If replacing the bearing, replace the bearing and race as an assembly.




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




Bearing (side opposite ring gear)
1. Install the speedometer drive gear.
2. Install the new 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 left drive shaft and the joint shaft in the differential assembly.
2. Support the drive shaft and the joint shaft on V-blocks.
3. Measure the backlash of both pinion gears.

Backlash: 0.050-0.150 mm (0.0020-0.059 in)

4. If not as specified, replace parts as necessary.
