2.  Assemble the taper roller bearing to the ring gear and differential.

Note

•  Taper roller bearing size: Inner diameter approx. 65 mm {2.6 in}

6.  Assemble the bearing race to the ring gear and differential.

Note

•  Bearing race size: Outer diameter approx. 80 mm {3.1 in} (2WD)

•  Bearing race size: Outer diameter approx. 90 mm {3.5 in} (4WD)

Differential Journal Inspection

1.  Measure the inner diameter of the journal (front side) shown in the figure.

Note

•  When measuring, measure near the center of the journal avoiding the oil groove, and then calculate the average value of the X and Y directions as shown in the figure.

•  Recommended measuring instrument: Cylinder gauge or caliper gauge

•  If it is more than the maximum specification, disassemble the ring gear and differential and replace the differential gear case with a new one.

(See RING GEAR AND DIFFERENTIAL DISASSEMBLY [EW6A-EL/EW6AX-EL].)

(See RING GEAR AND DIFFERENTIAL ASSEMBLY [EW6A-EL/EW6AX-EL].)

2.  Measure the inner diameter of the journal (rear side) shown in the figure.

Note

•  When measuring, measure near the center of the journal avoiding the oil groove, and then calculate the average value of the X and Y directions as shown in the figure.

•  Recommended measuring instrument: Cylinder gauge or caliper gauge

•  The inner diameter of the journal (rear side) differs depending on the vehicle model.

Differential Backlash Inspection

1.  Perform the following the inspection and measurement/adjustment in the order and replace a malfunctioning part with a new one.

(1)  Drive shaft journal inspection (See DRIVE SHAFT JOURNAL INSPECTION.)

(2)  Differential backlash measurement/adjustment (See DIFFERENTIAL BACKLASH MEASUREMENT/ADJUSTMENT [EW6A-EL/EW6AX-EL].)
