INSTALLATION OF DIFFERENTIAL AND
DRIVE. PINION
1. INSTALL DRIVE PINION INTO TRANSAXLE CASE
(a) Place the bearing cage onto the drive pinion shaft.
NOTICE: Be careful not to damage the oil seals with
the pinion shaft. (A540E)
(b) Install the two new O±rings to the bearing cage.
(A540E)

Turn the gear counterclockwise and clockwise several
times.
(d) Using a torque meter, measure the preload of the drive
pinion.
Drive pinion 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)
wIf the preload is greater than specified, replace the
bearing spacer.
wIf the preload is less than specified, retighten the nut
130 kg±cm (9 ft±Ib, 13 N±m) at a time until the specified
preload is reached.
If the maximum torque is exceeded while retightening the
nut, replace the bearing spacer and repeat the preload
procedure.
Do not back off the nut to reduce the preload.
Maximum torque: 3,640 kg±cm (260ft±Ib, 353 N±m)
(e) If the preload is adjusted within specification, make a
note of it.
M Stake the lock nut.

11. ADJUST SIDE BEARING PRELOAD
1ay Remove any packing material on the contacting
surfaces of the LH bearing retainer and transaxle case.
HINT: Do not apply seal packing yet.
W Install the LH bearing retainer and torque the six
bolts.
Torque: 195 kg±cm (14 ft±lb, 19 N±m)
Snap down the bearings by turning the differential case
several times.
(d) Using a torque meter, measure the differential total
preload.
Total preload (at starting):
Add drive pinion preload
If the preload is not within specification, replace tho adjust-
ing shim in the LH bearing retainer with another thickness
one.
