bfw2za00000128
(2)  Rotate the pinion gears so that the pinion shaft holes of the differential gear case and the pinion gears are aligned as shown in the figure.
Note
•  If the pinion shaft holes of the differential gear case and the pinion gears are not aligned, remove the pinion gears, change the side gears combination, and reassemble.

5.  Assemble the pinion shaft.

Caution
•  Assemble the pinion shaft so that the pin holes of the differential gear case and the pinion shaft are aligned.

6.  Assemble the pin to the position shown in the figure using a pin punch.

Note
•  Use a pin punch with an end outer diameter of 3.5 mm {0.138 in} or more, and within 5 mm {0.197 in}.

7.  After assembling the pin, crimp the pin hole ends (2 locations) of the differential gear case.

8.  Install the screw used when disassembling to the pin, and verify that the pin cannot be pulled out when pulling the screw.

Note
•  size: M3 x 0.5, length: 10 mm {0.394 in} or more

9.  Assemble the ring gear using the following procedure:

10.  Assemble the taper roller bearing (converter housing side) using the following procedure:

Note
•  Bearing race size: Inner diameter approx. 45 mm {1.8 in} (2WD)
•  Bearing race size: Inner diameter approx. 55 mm {2.2 in} (4WD)
(1)  Apply ATF (ATF FZ) to the engagement area of the taper roller bearing and differential.
(2)  Using the SST and press, assemble the taper roller bearing.

11.  Assemble the shim, bearing race using the following procedure:

Note
•  Bearing race size: outer diameter approx. 90 mm {3.5 in}
(1)  Apply ATF (ATF FZ) to the engagement area of the bearing race and differential.
(2)  Using the SST and press, assemble the bearing race.
