HINT:
Make sure that there is backlash between the ring gear and
drive pinion.
11. w/ DIFFERENTIAL LOCK: INSTALL DIFFERENTIAL CASE IN CARRIER
(a) Place the 2 bearing outer races on their respective bear- ings. Make sure that the left and right races are not inter-
changed.

(a) Using a dial indicator, with holding the side bearing of the
ring gear side and measure the backlash.
Backlash (reference): 0.15 mm (0.0059 in.)
(b) Select a case cover side plate washer using the backlash
as reference.
Side plate washer thickness
(c) Select a ring gear side plate washer of a thickness which
eliminates any clearance between the plate washer and
carrier.
(d) Remove the 2 plate washers and differential carrier.
(e) Install the plate washer into the lower part of the carrier.
(f) Place the plate washer onto the dif ferential case together
with the outer race, and install the differential case with

the ring gear side plate washer.
(b) Using a micrometer, measure the thickness of the re- moved plate washer.
(c) Install a new thicker washer of 0.06 − 0.09 mm (0.0024 −
0.0035 in.) than the washer removed.
HINT:
Select a washer which can be pressed in 2/3 of the way with fin-
ger.

(e) Align the matchmarks on the cap and carrier.
(f) Tighten the 4 bearing cap bolts to the specified torque. Torque: 113 N·m (1,150 kgf·cm, 83 ft·lbf)
(g) Using a dial indicator, adjust the ring gear backlash until it is within the specification.
Backlash: 0.15 − 0.20 mm (0.0059 − 0.0079 in.)
If it is not within the specification, follow the procedure listed be-
low.
If backlash is greater than the specification:
Replace the cover side washer with a thicker washer. When do-
ing so replace the ring gear side plate washer with one having
a thickness equalling the amount the cover side plate washer
thickness was decreased.
If backlash is less than specification:
Replace the cover side washer with a thicker washer. When do-
ing so, replace the ring gear side plate washer with one having
a thickness equalling the amount the cover side plate washer
thickness was increased.

Oil seal drive in depth: 1.0 mm (0.039 in.)
(b) Apply MP grease to the oil seal lip.
23. INSTALL COMPANION FLANGE
(a) Install the companion flange with SST. SST 09550 −30010 (09951 −03010, 09953 −03010,
09954 −03010, 09955 −03030, 09956−03020)

Torque: 245 N·m (2,500 kgf·cm, 181 ft·lbf)
24. ADJUST DRIVE PINION PRELOAD
Using a torque wrench, measure the preload of the backlash
between the drive pinion and ring gear. Preload (at starting):
New bearing
1.3 − 2.0 N·m (13 − 20 kgf·cm, 11.3 − 17.4 in.·lbf)
Reused bearing
0.7 − 1.0 N·m (7 − 10 kgf·cm, 6.1 − 8.7 in.·lbf)
If the preload is greater than the specification, replace the bear-
ing spacer.
If the preload is less than the specification, retighten the nut a
little at a time 13 N·m (130 kgf·cm, 9 ft·lbf) until the specified pre-
load is reached. Maximum torque: 441 N·m (4,500 kgf·cm, 326 ft·lbf)
If the maximum torque is exceeded while retightening the nut,
replace the bearing spacer and repeat the preload procedure.
Do not back off the pinion nut to reduce the preload.
