INSPECTION




1. Check mating surface of differential case, side gears and pinion mate gears. Replace as required.

2. Check clearance between side gear and diff. case with washer following the procedure below.




1. Set Tool and dial gauge on side gear.




2. Move side gear up and down to measure dial gauge deflection. Always measure gauge deflection on both side gears.

Clearance between side gear and diff. case with washer: 0.1 - 0.2 mm (0.004 - 0.008 in)

3. If clearance exceeds the specified value, check for wear and replace necessary parts.

3. Check tapered roller bearings for wear, scratches, pitting or flaking.

When inserting, be careful not to damage pinion mate washers.

4. Measure clearance between side gear and pinion mate gear, referring to "Inspection". If necessary, adjust.

Side gear to pinion mate clearance: 0.1 - 0.2 mm (0.004 - 0.008 in)
Side gear thrust washer: Refer to Specifications.




5. Install pinion mate shaft lock pin using a punch.
Make sure that lock pin is flush with case.
