Differential Component Parts Removal

DIFFERENTIAL COMPONENT PARTS REMOVAL




1. MEASURE DIFFERENTIAL TOTAL PRELOAD
Using a small torque wrench, measure the total preload and make a note of it.

2. REMOVE LH BEARING RETAINER



a. Remove the 6 bolts.




b. Using a large screwdriver, remove the LH bearing retainer.

NOTICE: Wrap the screwdriver tip in a rag, etc. to avoid damaging the case and retainer.

3. REMOVE RH RETAINER



a. Remove the 5 bolts.




b. Using a large screwdriver, remove the RH retainer.

NOTICE: Wrap the screwdriver tip in a rag, etc. to avoid damaging the case and retainer.

4. REMOVE CARRIER COVER



a. Remove the 10 bolts.




b. Tap the carrier cover with a plastic hammer to remove it.




c. Remove the apply gasket.




5. REMOVE DIFFERENTIAL CASE
Remove the differential case, outer case and shim from the transaxle case.

6. REMOVE TRANSAXLE CAP



a. Remove the bolt.




b. Using pliers, pull out the drive pinion cap.
c. Remove the 0-rings from the cap.




7. MEASURE DRIVE PINION PRELOAD
Using a small torque wrench, measure the drive pinion preload.

Preload (Reused bearing at starting): 0.5 - 0.8 Nm (5 - 8 kgf.cm, 4.3 - 6.9 inch lbs.)

The total preload measured in step 1 minus the drive pinion preload equals 0.1 - 0.2 Nm (1.3 - 2.0 kgf.cm, 1.1 - 1.7 inch lbs.).
If the result is not within this specification, the side bearing preload is suspect.

8. REMOVE COUNTER DRIVEN GEAR



a. Using a chisel and hammer, loosen the staked part of the nut.




b. Using SST to hold the gear, remove the nut.
SST 09330 - 00021, 09350 - 32014 (09351 - 32032)




c. Using SST, remove the gear and bearing.
SST 09350 - 32014 (09351 - 32061)

9. REMOVE OUTER RACE, SPACER AND OIL SLINGER



a. Using SST, remove the outer race with oil slinger and spacer.
SST 09350 - 32014 (09308 - 10010)




b. Using SST, remove the snap ring.
SST 09350 - 32014 (09351 - 32050)

10. REMOVE DRIVE PINION



a. Using SST, remove the snap ring.
SST 09350 - 32014 (09351 - 32050)




b. Install the bar into the case hole to drive out the drive pinion.
c. Using a press, drive out the drive pinion from transaxle case.




d. Remove the bearing cage from drive pinion.




e. Using SST, press out the bearing.
SST 09950 - 00020
