(c) Adjust the drive pinion preload by tightening the compan-
ion flange nut.
Using SST to hold the flange, tighten the nut.
SST 09330−00021
NOTICE:
As there is no spacer, tighten a little at a time, being careful
not to overtighten.
(d) Using a torque wrench, measure the preload. Preload (at starting):
New bearing
0.9 − 1.6 N·m (10 − 16 kgf·cm, 8.7 − 13.9 in.·lbf)
Reused bearing
0.5 − 0.8 N·m (5 − 8 kgf·cm, 4.3 − 6.9 in.·lbf)
HINT:
Measure the total preload after first turning the bearing clock-
wise and counterclockwise several times to mark the bearing
smooth.
12. w/o DIFFERENTIAL LOCK: INSTALL DIFFERENTIAL CASE IN CARRIER
(a) Place the bearing outer races on their respective bear- ings. Make sure the left and right outer races are not inter-
changed.
(b) Install the case in the carrier.

Make sure that there is backlash between the ring gear and
drive pinion.
13. w/ DIFFERENTIAL LOCK: INSTALL DIFFERENTIAL CASE IN CARRIER
(a) Apply MP grease on the rack of the shift fork and connect- ing part of the indicator switch.
(b) Insert the shift fork into the differential carrier, as shown.
(c) Install outer races, adjusting nuts and left side to sleeve.

14. w/o DIFFERENTIAL LOCK:
INSTALL ADJUSTING NUTS
Install the adjusting nuts on the carrier , making sure the nuts are
threaded properly.
15. INSTALL BEARING CAPS
Align the matchmarks on the cap and carrier. Screw in the 2
bearing cap bolts 2 or 3 turns and press down the bearing cap
by hand.
HINT:
If the bearing cap does not fit tightly on the carrier , the adjusting
nuts are not threaded properly.
Reinstall the adjusting nuts if necessary.
16. ADJUST SIDE BEARING PRELOAD
(a) Torque the 4 bearing cap bolts to the specified torque, and loosen them to the point where the adjusting nuts can
be turned by SST.
SST 09504−00011
Torque: 78 N·m (800 kgf·cm, 58 ft·lbf)
(b) Fully tighten the 4 bearing cap bolts by hand.
(c) Using the SST, torque the adjusting nut on the ring gear side until the ring has a backlash of about 0.2 mm (0.008
in.).
(d) With turning the ring gear, use the SST to fully tighten the adjusting nut on the drive pinion side. After the bearings
are settled, loosen the adjusting nut on the drive pinion
side.
(e) Place a dial indicator on the top of the adjusting nut on the ring gear side.
(f) Adjust the side bearing for zero preload by tightening the
other adjusting nut until the pointer on the indicator be-
gins to move.
(g) Torque the adjusting nut 1 − 1.5 notches from the zero preload position.

side one notch and torque the nut on the right side one notch.
(i) Torque the 4 bearing cap bolts. Torque: 78 N·m (800 kgf·cm, 58 ft·lbf)
(j) Recheck the ring gear backlash. Backlash: 0.13 −0.18 mm (0.0051 −0.0071 in.)
(k) 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)
17. INSPECT TOOTH CONTACT BETWEEN RING GEAR AND DRIVE PINION

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):

Reused bearing:
0.5 − 0.8 N·m (5 − 8 kgf·cm, 4.3 − 6.9 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 with a torque of 13 N·m (130 kgf·cm, 9 ft·lbf) until
the specified preload is reached. Maximum torque: 343 N·m (3,500 kgf·cm, 253 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.
25. RECHECK RING GEAR BACKLASH
