3. INSTALL RING GEAR
(a) Clean the contact surface of the ring gear mounting
left 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).
(e) Clean the contact surface of the ring gear with clean±
ing solvent.
(d) Align the matchmarks and quickly install the ring gear
on the ring gear mounting left case.
4. CHECK AND ADJUST CENTER DIFFERENTIAL SIDE
GEAR BACKLASH
(a) Install the following parts to the center differential
case:
wSide gear thrust washer|
wDifferential side left gear
wFour pinion thrust washers
wFour differential pinions
wPinion shaft holder
wFour pinion shafts 2. INSTALL LEFT CASE¿ BEARING
Using SST and a press, press in the left case.
SST 09316±12010, 09608±35014
(09608±06020, 09608±06120)
(b) Install the spacer to the case as shown.

(c) Using a dial indicator, measure the backlash of one pinion
gear while holding the side gear toward the case.
Standard backlash: 0.05 ± 0.20 mm (0.002 ± 0.0079 in.)
HINT: Do not place in a vise the surface of the center dif-
ferential case which comes in contact with the bushing.
Referring to the table below, select the thrust washer
which will ensure that the backlash is within specification.
Try to select a washer of the same size.
5. CHECK AND ADJUST CENTER DIFFERENTIAL SIDE
GEAR THRUST CLEARANCE
(a) Install the differential side right gear.
HINT: Do not install the conical spring washer.(d) Using snap ring pliers, install the shaft snap ring.
(b) Install the center differential case.

(d) Align the matchmarks on the ring gear mounting
left and right case.
(e) Install and torque the twelve bolts.
Torque: 985 kg±cm (71 ft±Ib, 97 N±m)
HINT: Do not install the O±ring.
(f) Using a caliper, measure the conical spring wash-
er thickness.
Using a dial indicator, measure the thrust clear-
ance of center differential case while holding
the ring gear mounting case.
