ASSEMBLY OF DIFFERENTIAL CASE
1. INSTALL RH OIL SEAL TO RH RETAINER
(a) Using SST, drive in a new oil seal until its surface is
flush with the surface of RH retainer.
SST 09316±60010 (09316±00010)
(b) Coat the oil seal lip with MP grease.
2. INSTALL ADJUSTING SHIM AND BEARING OUTER
RACE TO LH BEARING RETAINER
(a) Place the adjusting shim into the LH bearing retainer.
HINT: Use either the shim which was removed or one
2.40 mm (0.0945 in.).
(b) Using SST, press the outer race into the LH retainer.
SST 09316±20011, 09350±32014 109351±32150y
HINT: Install the oil baffle and oil seal after adjusting the
differential side bearing preload.
(See page AT±388)
3. ASSEMBLE DIFFERENTIAL CASE
HINT: Coat all of the sliding and rotating surface with
ATF before assembly.
(a) Install the thrust washer to the side gear. 5. REMOVE RH OIL SEAL FROM RH RETAINER

(d) Using a dial indicator, measure the backlash of
one pinion gear while holding the side gear.
Standard backlash: 0.05 ± 0.20 mm
(0.0020 ± 0.0079 in.)
(e) Install the side gear and spider with four pinions
to the right side of the differential case.
And check the pinion gear backlash. (b) Install the four pinions ±and thrust washers to the
spider.
(c) Install the side gear and spider with four pinions
to the differential left case.
(f) Referring to the table below, select the side gear
thrust washer which will ensure that the back-
lash is within specification. Try to select a wash-
er of the same size.
(h) Align the matchmarks on the differential cases.(g) Install the speedometer driven gear.
