COMPONENTS

DIFFERENTIAL





1. Clamp the differential case in a vise.
2. Remove the differential drive retaining bolts and remove the differential drive gear from the case.





3. Remove the taper bearing using the special tool (09433-21000).

CAUTION: Do not reuse the bearing removed from the shaft.





4. Drive out the lock pin from the hole A using a punch.
5. Drive out the pinion shaft.
6. Remove the pinion gears, washers, side gear and spacers.

REASSEMBLY





1. Install the spacer on the back of the side gear and then install the gear in the differential case.

CAUTION:
1) When installing a new side gear, use a spacer of medium thickness [0.83 - 0.92 mm (0.33 - 0.036 inch)].
2) Do not reuse the lock pin.
3) The lock pin head must be sunk below the flange surface of the differential case.





2. Set the washer on the back of each pinion and insert the two pinions to specified position while engaging them with the side gears by turning them.
3. Insert the pinion shaft.





4. Measure the backlash between the side gears and pinions.
Standard value: 0.025 - 0.0150 mm (0.001 - 0.006 inch)





5. If the backlash is out of specification, disassemble and install the correct spacer, reassemble and remeasure.

CAUTION: Adjust the backlash of both side gears to the same specification.

6. Align the pin ion shaft lock pin hole with the case lock pin hole and insert the lock pin.

CAUTION:
1) Do not reuse the lock pin.
2) The lock pin head must not protrude more than 3 mm (0.0118 inch) gear in the differential case.





7. Install the tapered roller bearing on both sides of the differential case using the special tool (09455-21 100).

CAUTION: When press-fitting the bearing, press on the inner race only.





8. Apply specified sealant to the entire threads of the bolts. Tighten to specifications using the sequence shown in the illustration.
Specified sealant: BM stud locking No.2471

CAUTION: If a bolt is reused, remove the old sealant from the threads.
