DISASSEMBLY
1. REMOVE DIFFERENTIAL CARRIER COVER
(a) Remove the 8 bolts from the carrier cover.
(b) Using a brass bar and hammer, separate the cover and
carrier.
2. CHECK RUNOUT OF COMPANION FLANGE
Using a dial indicator, measure the runout of the companion
flange vortically and horizontally.
Maximum runout: 0.10 mm (0.0039 in.)
3. CHECK RING GEAR RUNOUT
Using a dial indicator, check the runout of the ring gear.
Maximum runout: 0.07 mm (0.0028 in.)
If the runout is greater than the maximum, replace with a new
ring gear.
4. CHECK RING GEAR BACKLASH
Using a dial indicator, check the backlash of the ring gear.
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.
5. CHECK TOOTH CONTACT BETWEEN RING GEAR
AND DRIVE PINION (See page SA−79)
6. 2 PINION DIFFERENTIAL:
CHECK SIDE GEAR BACKLASH
Using a dial indicator, check the backlash of the side gear with
holding 1 pinion gear toward the differential case.
Backlash: 0.05 − 0.20 mm (0.0020 − 0.0079 in.)
If the backlash is not within the specification, install the 2 side

tial carrier (See page SA−74).
6. INSTALL FRONT AND REAR BEARING OUTER
RACES
(a) Front side:
Using SST and a press, install the 2 outer races to the car-
rier.

(c) Using SST to hold the flange, torque the nut.
SST 09330−00021
Torque: 108 N·m (1,100 kgf·cm, 80 ft·lbf)
20. CHECK DRIVE PINION PRELOAD
(a) Using a torque wrench, measure the preload of the back-
lash between the drive pinion and ring gear.
Preload (at starting):
New bearing:
1.0 − 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)
If preload is larger than the specification, replace the bearing
spacer.
If preload is less than the specification, retorque the nut 13 N·m
(130 kgf·cm, 9 ft·lbf) at a time until the specified preload is
reached.
Torque: 235 N·m (2,400 kgf·cm, 174 ft·lbf) or less
If the maximum torque is exceeded while retighten the nut, re-
place the bearing spacer and repeat the preload procedure. Do
not loosen the pinion nut to reduce the preload.
21. RECHECK TOTAL PRELOAD (See page SA−74)
22. RECHECK RING GEAR BACKLASH
(See page SA−74)
23. RECHECK TOOTH CONTACT BETWEEN RING GEAR
AND DRIVE PINION (See page SA−79)
24. CHECK COMPANION FLANGE RUNOUT
(See page SA−74)
25. STAKE DRIVE PINION NUT
26. INSTALL SIDE GEAR SHAFT OIL SEALS
(a) Using SST and a hammer, install 2 oil seals until they are
flush with the carrier end surface.
SST 09550−00032, 09950−70010 (09951−07150)
(b) Coat MP grease to the oil seal lip.

INSPECTION
NOTICE:
When using a vise, do not overtighten it.
1. INSPECT STEERING RACK
(a) Using a dial indicator, check the rack for runout.
Maximum runout: 0.30 mm (0.0118 in.)
(b) Check the rack for teeth wear and damage.
(c) Check the back surface for wear and damage.
2. CHECK CONTROL VALVE ASSEMBLY AND BUSHING
Using a cylinder gauge and a micrometer, measure the inside
diameter of the bushing and outside diameter of the valve as-
sembly.
Maximum inside diameter: 28.20 mm (1.1102 in.)
Minimum outside diameter: 27.75 mm (1.0925 in.)
3. IF NECESSARY, REPLACE BUSHING AND OIL SEAL
(a) Using SST, remove the bushing from the rack housing.
SST 09612−24014 (09613−22011)
NOTICE:
Be careful not to damage the rack housing.
HINT:
Separate the SST as shown in the illustration to use it.
As shown, from the opposite side of SST confirm that its
claw is firmly caught on the bushing.
(b) Using a screwdriver, tap out the oil seal.
NOTICE:
To prevent rack housing damage, wind vinyl tape on the
screwdriver.

INSPECTION
1. INSPECT ARMATURE COIL COMMUTATOR FOR
OPEN CIRCUIT
Using an ohmmeter, check that there is continuity between the
segments of the commutator.
If there is no continuity between any segment, replace the ar-
mature.
2. INSPECT ARMATURE COIL COMMUTATOR FOR
GROUND
Using an ohmmeter, check that there is no continuity between
the commutator and armature coil core.
If there is continuity, replace the armature.
3. INSPECT COMMUTATOR FOR DIRTY AND BURNT
SURFACES
If the surface is dirty or burnt, correct it with sandpaper (No.400)
or on a lathe.
4. INSPECT COMMUTATOR CIRCLE RUNOUT
(a) Place the commutator on V−blocks.
(b) Using a dial gauge, measure the circle runout.
Maximum circle runout: 0.05 mm (0.0020 in.)
If the circle runout is greater than maximum, correct it on a lathe.
5. INSPECT COMMUTATOR DIAMETER
Using a vernier caliper, measure the commutator diameter.
Standard diameter: 30.0 mm (1.181 in.)
Minimum diameter: 29.0 mm (1.142 in.)
If the diameter is less than minimum, replace the armature.
6. INSPECT UNDERCUT DEPTH
Check that the undercut depth is clean and free of foreign mate-
rials. Smooth out the edge.
Standard undercut depth: 0.6 mm (0.024 in.)
Minimum undercut depth: 0.2 mm (0.008 in.)
If the undercut depth is less than minimum, correct it with a
hacksaw blade.
