1. Install the bearing outer race into the clutch housing using the SST.

(Except L3 Turbo)

(L3 Turbo)

2. Install the bearing outer race with the removed shim installed in the transaxle case using the SST.

3. Set the differential component into the clutch housing.

4. Install the transaxle case and tighten the bolts.

Front side fixing bolts

  Tightening torque
  23.6-35.2 N·m
  {2.5-3.5 kgf·m, 17.5-25.9 ft·lbf}

Rear side fixing bolts

  Tightening torque
  23.6-35.2 N·m
  {2.5-3.5 kgf·m, 17.5-25.9 ft·lbf}

5. Install the SST to the differential pinion shaft through the transaxle case.

6. Install the torque wrench to the SST and measure the initial rotational torque of the differential case.

  Initial rotational torque (4x2)
  Except L3 Turbo: 1.10-2.10 N·m {11.3-21.4 kgf·cm, 9.8-18.5 in·lbf}
  L3 Turbo: 1.00-2.49 N·m {10.2-25.3 kgf·cm, 8.9-22.0 in·lbf}
  Initial rotational torque (4x4)
  0.96-2.38 N·m {9.79-24.2 kgf·cm, 8.50-21.0 in·lbf}

  • If not within the specification, select a suitable shim and reinstall so that the rotational torque is within the specification.
