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)
(c) Coat the O-rings with ATF. (A540E)
(d) Using a hammer and brass bar, slightly tap the
bearing cage into the transaxle case until the
snap ring groove in the bore can be seen.
(e) Using SST, install snap ring into the bore.

(c) Turn the gear counterclockwise and clockwise sev-
eral 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.-lb, 1.0 - 1.6 N-m)
Reused bearing
5 - 8 kg-cm
(4.3 - 6.9 in.-lb, 0.5 - 0.8 N-m)
If the preload is greater than specified,
replace the bearing spacer.
If the preload is less than specified, retigh-
ten the nut 130 kg-cm (9 ft-lb, 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: 3,600 kg-cm (260 ft-lb, 353 N-m)
(e) If the preload is adjusted within specification, make
a note of it.
(f) Stake the lock nut.

11. ADJUST SIDE SEARING PRELOAD
(a) Remove any packing material on the contacting
surfaces of the LH bearing retainer and transaxle
case.
HINT: Do not apply seal packing yet.
(b) Install the LH bearing retainer and torque the six
bolts.
Torque: 195 kg-cm (14 ft-lb, 19 N-m)
(c) 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
kg-cm (in.-lb, N-m)
If the preload is not within specification, replace the
adjusting shim in the LH bearing retainer with another
thickness one.
