Removal
Final gear
1. Unclamp 4 final gear bolt lock plates (1).
2. Remove 8 bolts and 4 final gear bolt lock plates.

NOTE: Don't reuse lock plates.





3. Remove final gear (2).

Installation
Bearing outer race
1. Install differential side right bearing race (1) and shim (2) to transaxle case (3), using special tool.

Special Tool (A): 09924-07710





2. Install differential side left bearing race (1) to transaxle housing (2), using special tool.

Special Tool (A): 09924-07710





Final gear
1. Heat final gear to about 100°C (212°F) in oil bath.
2. Clean mating surfaces of final gear and differential case.





3. Install final gear (1) to differential case (2).
4. Install new 4 final gear set bolt lock plates and 8 bolts and tighten bolts to specified torque.

Tightening torque
Final gear bolts a: 99 Nm (9.9 kg-m, 72.0 ft. lbs.)

5. Clamp bolts with lock plate (3) securely.





6. Install differential assembly to transaxle case and tighten case bolts to specified torque.

Tightening torque
Transaxle housing bolts: 30 Nm (3.0 kg-m, 22.0 ft. lbs.)

7. Measure differential assembly starting torque, using special tool. If starting torque exceeds specified value, replace shim in the following so as starting torque to be in standard value.

Special Tool (A): 09928-06020

Starting torque of differential assembly 0.7 - 1.2 Nm (0.07 - 0.12 kgf-m, 0.506 - 0.868 ft. lbs.)
