SERVICE POINTS OF REASSEMBLY
9. INSTALLATION OF SPACER / 8. SIDE GEAR / 7. WASHER / 6. PINION / 5. PINION SHAFT




1. Install the spacer on the back of the side gear and then install the gear in the differential case.

CAUTION: When installing a new side gear, use a spacer of medium thickness [0.93 - 1.00 mm (0.37 - 0.39 in.)].




2. Set the washer on the back of each pinion and insert the two pinions to specified position while engaging them with the side gears and turning them.
3. Insert the pinion shaft.




4. Measure the backlash between the side gears and pinions.

Standard value: 0.025 - 0.150 mm (0.001 - 0.006 in.)

5. If the backlash is out of specification, disassemble again and using correct spacer, reassemble and adjust.

CAUTION: Adjust for same backlash of both side gears.

4. INSTALLATION OF LOCK PIN




Align the pinion shaft lock pin hole with the case lock pin hole and insert the lock pin.

CAUTION:
1. Do not reuse the lock pin.
2. The lock pin head must be sunk from the flange surface of the differential case.

3. INSTALLATION OF TAPER ROLLER BEARING




Install the taper roller bearings on both sides of the differential case.

CAUTION: When press-fitting the bearings, push the inner race only.

1. INSTALLATION OF BOLTS




Apply specified adhesive to the entire threads of the bolts and quickly tighten in the order shown to specified torque.

Specified adhesive: 3M Stud Locking No.4170

CAUTION: If a bolt is reused, remove traces of adhesive completely from the threads.
