(C):09940-54950





3. Support differential case (1) with soft jawed vise and remove final gear bolts then take out final gear.
4. Drive out differential pinion shaft (3) pin by using special tool and hammer and then disassemble components parts.
Special Tool (A):09922-85811








Reassembly
Judging from abnormality noted before disassembly and what is found through visual check of component parts after disassembly, prepare replacing parts and proceed to reassembly. Make sure that all parts are clean.

1. Install differential pinion, side gear and pinion shaft to differential case and measure back rash and thrust play of differential side gear as follows.
If measured value is out of specification, select suitable side gear washer from among the following available size, install it and check again.
Special Tool
(A):09900-20607
(B):09900-20701
(C):09952-06010
a) Differential side gear backlash
^ Hold differential assembly with soft jawed vise and apply measuring tip of dial gauge to side gear as shown in figure.
^ Fixing differential pinion, turn side gear back and forth and read dial gauge.
Differential side gear backlash 0.10 - 0.15 mm (0.003 - 0.005 in.)
b) Differential side gear thrust play
^ Hold differential assembly with soft jawed vise and apply measuring tip of dial gauge to side gear as shown in figure.
^ Move side gear up and down by hand and read dial gauge.
Differential side gear thrust play 0.03 - 0.31 mm (0.001 - 0.012 in.)

Available side gear washer thickness








2. Drive in spring pin from right side till it is flush with differential case surface.
3. Press-fit left bearing (1) by using special tool and hydraulic press.
Special Tool (A):09913-70123








4. Press-fit right bearing (1) by using special tools and hydraulic press.
Special Tool

(B):09924-07720
(C):09913-85230








5. Hold differential assembly with soft jawed vise (3), install final gear (2) and then tighten new final gear bolts (1).

CAUTION: Use of any other bolts than specified ones is prohibited. Otherwise, bolts may loosen.

Tightening torque
Final gear bolt a: 90 Nm (9.0 kgf-m, 65.0 ft. lbs.)
