REMOVAL
1. w/ DIFFERENTIAL LOCK:
BEFORE REMOVAL, SHIFT FRONT DIFFERENTIAL
TO LOCK
(a) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
(b) Keep the center differential lock condition.
(c) Turn the differential lock control switch to the FR/RR posi-
tion and lock the front differential.
(d) Rotating the tires, check they are in the differential lock condition.
(e) Disconnect the cable from the negative terminal of the battery.
2. DRAIN DIFFERENTIAL OIL
3. REMOVE FRONT AXLE SHAFTS (See page SA−13)
4. REMOVE TIE ROD FROM KNUCKLE ARM (See page SA−13 )

DISASSEMBLY
1. CHECK RUNOUT OF COMPANION FLANGE
Using a dial indicator, measure the vertical and lateral runout of
the companion flange. Maximum runout: 0.10 mm (0.0039 in.)
2. CHECK RING GEAR RUNOUT
Using a dial indicator, measure the ring gear runout. Maximum runout: 0.10 mm (0.0039 in.)
If the runout is greater than the maximum, replace the ring gear
and driven pinion as a set.
3. CHECK RING GEAR BACKLASH
Using a dial indicator, measure the ring gear backlash. Backlash: 0.13 −0.18 mm (0.0051 −0.0071 in.)
If the backlash is not within the specification, adjust the side
bearing preload or repair as necessary.
4. MEASURE DRIVE PINION PRELOAD
Using a torque wrench, measure the preload of backlash be-
tween the drive pinion and ring gear. Preload (at starting):
0.5 − 0.8 N·m (5 − 8 kgf·cm, 4.3 − 6.9 in.·lbf)
5. CHECK TOTAL PRELOAD
Using a torque wrench, measure the preload. Total preload (at starting):
Drive pinion preload plus
0.4 − 0.6 N·m (4 − 6 kgf·cm, 3.5 − 5.2 in.·lbf)
If necessary, disassemble and inspect the differential.
