(j) Install the ball, compression spring and spring seat.
(k) Clean the threads of 2 plugs and plug holes with toluene
or trichloroethylene.
(l) Apply adhesive to the plug threads. Adhesive: Part No. 08833 −00080, THREE BOND 1344,
LOCTITE 242 or equivalent
(m) Using a hexagon wrench, install and tighten the screw
plugs.
Torque: 22 N·m (220 kgf·cm, 16 ft·lbf)
31. w/ DIFFERENTIAL LOCK: MEASURE DISTANCE BETWEEN SLEEVE AND DIF-
FERENTIAL CASE END SIDE
Measure distance between the sleeve and tip of the differential
case when differential is free and locked. Standard distance:
LOCK: 17.44 − 18.86 mm (0.6866 − 0.7425 in.)
FREE: 32.40 − 33.90 mm (1.2756 − 1.3346 in.)
32. w/ DIFFERENTIAL LOCK: INSTALL INDICATOR SWITCH
Install the indicator switch with a new gasket. Torque: 40 N·m (410 kgf·cm, 30 ft·lbf)
33. w/ DIFFERENTIAL LOCK: INSTALL ACTUATOR
(a) Check that the outermost rack tooth of the shift fork is virtually above the center line of the actuator installation
hole.

(b) Ensure that the matchmarks of the pinion of the actuator
is in the extent between zero and 5 degrees clockwise
above the center line of the actuator.
If the matchmarks is not in this extent, rotate the pinion to be
matched. Do not supply the battery positive voltage directly be-
tween terminals. If the matchmarks come to the extension limit
of the rotation, do not electrify moreover.
(c) Install a new O−ring to the actuator.
(d) Apply a light coat of gear oil on the O −ring.
(e) Apply MP grease to the gear part.
(f) Insert the actuator so that the long hole on the actuator side fits with the knock pin on the carrier side.
HINT:
Do not damage the O −ring of the actuator.
(g) Align the actuator with the long hole and rotate the actua-
tor counterclockwise when the knock pin reaches the
right−hand side.
(h) Install the actuator to the differential carrier with the bolt so that the outermost rack tooth of the shift fork will fit the
matchmarks of the pinion of the actuator.
Torque: 26 N·m (270 kgf·cm, 20 ft·lbf)

INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal (see page SA−27).
HINT:
w/ differential lock:
Before installation, check differential lock operation connecting the connector of the actuator to the
connector of the vehicle side.
w/ differential lock:
Before installation, check that the sleeves on work with switching over the differential lock control
switch.
After checking, lock the front differential.
After installation, fill the differential with gear oil (See page SA−27).
