7. MEASURE DRIVE PINION PRELOAD
Using a torque meter, measure the drive pinion preload.
Preload (at starting):

6. INSTALL RING GEAR
(a) Clean the contact surface of the differential case.
(b) Heat the ring gear to about 212
°F (100°C) in an oil bath.
NOTICE: Do not heat the ring gear above 230°F (110°C).
(c) Clean the contact surface of the ring gear with clean-
ing solvent.
(d) Quickly install the ring gear on the differential case.
(e) install new locking plates and set bolts. Tighten the
set bolts uniformly and a little at a time. Torque the
bolts.
Torque: 985 kg±cm (71 ft±lb, 97 N±m)
(f) Using a hammer and drift punch, stake the locking
plates.
HINT: Stake one claw flush with the flat surface of
the nut. For the claw contacting the protruding por-
tion of the nut, stake only the half on the tightening
side. (b) Using SST and a press, press in the RH side bearing
onto the differential case.
SST 09350±32014 (09351±32090, 09351±32120)
(c) Using SST and a press, press in the LH side bear-
ing onto the differential case.

6. ADJUST SIDE BEARING PRELOAD
Using SST and a torque meter, measure the preload of
the ring gear.
SST 09564±32011
Preload (at starting):
New bearing 10 ± 16 kg±cm
(8.7 ± 13.9 in.±Ib, 1.0 ± 1.6 N±m)
Reused bearing 5 ± 8 kg±cm
(4.3 ± 6.9 in.±Ib, 0.5 ± 0.8 N±m)
If the preload is not within specification, remove the
differential case assembly.
B 4. INSTALL RH SIDE BEARING CAP
Tighten the bolts evenly. and gradually while turning
the ring gear.
Torque: 730 kg±cm I53 ft±lb, 72 N±m)
HINT: The preload will change about 3 ± 4 kg±cm (2.6 ±
3.5 in.±Ib, 0.3 ± 0.4 N±m) with each shim thickness. 5. TIGHTEN LH BEARING RETAINER

INSPECTION OF TORQUE CONVERTER
1. INSERT SST IN END OF TORQUE CONVERTER
(a) Insert a turning tool into the inner race of the one±way
clutch.
SST 09350±32014 f09351±320101
2. TEST ONE±WAY CLUTCH
With the torque converter standing on its side, the
clutch should lock when turned counterclockwise, and
rotate freely and smoothly clockwise.
If necessary, clean the converter and retest the clutch.
Replace the converter if the clutch still fails the test.
CLEAN TORQUE CONVERTER
If the transmission is contaminated, the torque converter and
transmission cooler should be thoroughly flushed
with ATF.(b) Insert the stopper so that it fits in the notch of the
converter hub and outer race of the one±way
clutch.

pinion.
Preload (at starting) :

wIf the preload is greater than specified, replace the
bearing spacer.
wIf the preload is less than specified, retighten the nut

fied preload is reached.
If the maximum torque is exceeded while retightening
the nut, replace the bearing spacer and repeat the pre-
load procedure.
Do not back off the nut to reduce the preload.
