NOTICE:
Coat the nut and screw of the drive pinion with gear oil. As
there is no spacer, tighten a little at a time, being careful not
to overtighten.
(e) Using a torque wrench, measure the preload. 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)

Measure the total preload after first turning the bearing clock-
wise and counterclockwise several times to make the bearing
smooth.

(a) Place the 2 bearing outer races on their respective bear- ings. Make sure that the left and right outer races are not
interchanged.
(b) Install the case in the carrier.
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.

(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.

(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.
