DIFFERENTIAL ASSEMBLY


Disassembly






1. Remove side oil seals, using a suitable tool.

CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage gear carrier and rear cover.
2. Remove rear cover mounting bolts.





3. Set drifts [SST: KV40100610 (J-26089)] to the right and left side bearing adjusting shims individually. Press differential case assembly with side bearing to remove gear carrier assembly and rear cover assembly.

CAUTION:
The pressure shall be as low as possible to remove gear carrier assembly and rear cover assembly. The maximum pressure shall be 10 kN (1 ton, 1.1 US ton, 1.0 Imp ton).

NOTE:
Differential case assembly, side bearings, and adjusting shims are compressed and integrated in gear carrier and rear cover.
4. Remove drain plug and filler plug.
5. Remove side bearing adjusting shims and side bearing outer races.

CAUTION:
Mark the side bearing adjusting shims so that the original mounting positions (right/left) can be identified later.





6. Remove drive gear mounting bolts and then remove drive gear from differential case.





7. Remove side bearing inner races, using pullers and the drift
[SST: ST33052000 ( -- )].





8. Pull the lock pin out of pinion mate shaft, using the pin punch.





9. Remove pinion mate shaft, pinion mate gears, pinion mate thrust washers, side gears, side gear thrust washers from differential case.
