Assembly of Differential Case (With LSD)

ASSEMBLY OF DIFFERENTIAL CASE (WITH LSD)
^ Prior to assembling discs and plates, properly lubricate them by dipping them in limited slip differential oil.





1. Alternately position specified number of friction plates and friction discs on rear of side gear.
^ Always position a friction plate first on rear of side gear.
Friction discs: 2
Fiction plates: 5
Spacer: 1





2. Install two spring plates.





3. Install friction plate guides.
^ Correctly align the raised portions of friction plates, and apply LSD gear oil to inner surfaces of friction plate guides to prevent them from falling.





4. Install differential case B over side gear, discs, plates and friction plate guide assembly.
^ Install differential case B while supporting friction plate guides with your middle finger inserted through oil hole in differential case.
^ Be careful not to detach spring disc from the hexagonal part of the side gear.





5. Install pinion mate gears and pinion mate thrust washers on pinion mate shaft, then install pinion mate shaft in differential case B.
6. Install side gear to pinion mate gears.





7. Install thrust block.
^ Equipped on 2WD vehicle and 4WD without ABS only.





8. Install each disc and plate.
^ Use same procedures as outlined in steps 1 through 4.





9. Install differential case A.
^ Position differential cases A and B by correctly aligning the matchmarks stamped on cases.





10. Tighten differential case couple bolts.
Differential case couple bolts: 64 - 74 Nm (6.5 - 7.5 kg-m, 47 - 54 ft. lbs.)
11. Place ring gear on differential case and tighten ring gear bolts.
^ Tighten bolts in a crisscross pattern.
Tool number KV101 12100 (BT8653-A)
Ring gear bolts
Step 1: 53.9 - 63.7 Nm (5.5- 6.4 kg-m, 40 - 46 ft. lbs.)
Step 2: 34° - 39° degrees rotation
12. Install side bearing inner race.
13. Check differential torque. Refer to "Checking Differential Torque".
