Part 6
INSPECTION
Gear, Washer, Shaft And Case
- Check mating surfaces of differential case, side gears, pinion mate gears and viscous coupling.
- Check washers for wear.
Bearings
- Make sure bearings roll freely and are free from noise, cracks, pitting or wear.
- When replacing taper roller bearing, replace outer and inner race as a set.
ASSEMBLY
1. Install side gear and thrust washers in differential case.
2. Install pinion mate gears and thrust washers in differential case while rotating them.
- Apply ATF to any parts.
3. Measure clearance between side gear and differential case with washers.
Clearance between side gear and differential case with washers: 0.1 - 0.2 Nm (0.004 - 0.008 inch)
- If not within specification adjust clearance by changing thickness of side gear thrust washer.
Side gear thrust washers: Refer to image.
4. Install retaining pin.
- Make sure that retaining pin is flush with case.
5. Install speedometer drive gear on differential case.
- Align the projection of speedometer drive gear with the groove of differential case.
6. Install final gear and tighten fixing bolts in numerical order.
7. Press on differential side bearings.
