Rear planetary ring gear inspection (AWR6B45)

1. Rear planetary ring gear flange inspection

1) Using a caliper gauge, measure the inside diameter of the rear planetary ring gear flange bushing.

Standard: 32.176 to 32.201 mm { 1.2668 to 1.2678 in }

Caution

  • Measure the inside diameter at several places (More than 3 places) and take an average. If the average is greater than the maximum, replace the rear planetary ring gear flange with a new one.
  • When the rear planetary ring gear flange is replaced, inspect the surface in contact with the intermediate shaft. If the surface is scratched or discolored, replace the intermediate shaft with a new one.

2. Intermediate shaft inspection

1) Using a dial indicator, check the intermediate shaft runout.

Standard: 0.03 mm { 0.0012 in }

Caution

  • If the runout is not as specified, replace the intermediate shaft with a new one.

2) Using a micrometer, check the outer diameter of the intermediate shaft at each point shown in the figure.

Caution

  • If the outer diameter is not as specified, replace the intermediate shaft with a new one.
