J6. REMOVAL OF SIDE BEARING OUTER RACE
(I) Using a press, push the differential case until it is
pressed against the carrier.
(2) Remove the differential case from the press. Insert two
spacers in diagonally opposed positions between the‘dside bearing outer race to be removed and the inner
race. Using the press again, remove the outer race.
CautionUse care not to drop the side bearing outer race.
NOTE(1) Identify the right- and left-hand side bearing outer
races for correct reassembly.
(2) Use a spacer, approx. 30 mm (I. 18 in.) long, 10 mm
I.39 in.) wide and 1 to 2 mm (.04 to .08 in.) high,
made of copper sheet or the like to prevent damageto the bearing.

Pull out the side bearing inner races by using the special
tools.
10. REMOVAL OF DRIVE GEAR
(I) Make the mating marks to the differential case and the
drive gear.(2) Loosen the drive gear attaching bolts in diagonal
sequence to remove the drive gear.
13. REMOVAL OF SELF-LOCKING NUTUse the special tools to hold the companion flange and
remove the companion flange self-locking nut.

the special tool.Apply multipurpose grease to the oil seal lip.
(6) Apply a thin coat of multipurpose grease to the
companion flange contacting surface of the washer
before installing drive pinion assembly.
(7) Install the drive pinion assembly and companion flangewith mating marks properly aligned, and tighten the
companion flange self-locking nut to the specified
torque by using the special tools.

19. PRESS-FITTING OF SIDE BEARING INNER RACE
Press-fit the side bearing inner races to the differential caseby using the special tool.
. FINAL DRIVE GEAR BACKLASH ADJUSTMENT
(1) Using the special tool, temporarily tighten the side
bearing nut until it is in the state just before preloadingof the side bearing.
(2) Measure the final drive gear backlash.
Standard value: 0.11
- 0.16 mm (.004 - .006 in.)
NOTE
Measure at four or more points around the drive gear
circumference.(3) Using the special tool (MB991367 and
MB991385),adjust the backlash to standard value by moving the
side bearing nut as shown.
NOTE
First turn the side bearing nut for loosening, and thenturn (by the same amount) the side bearing nut for
tightening.
