DISASSEMBLY
1. CHECK DRIVE SHAFT
(a) Check to see there is no play in the inboard and outboard
joints.
(b) Check to see that the inboard joint slides smoothly in the
thrust direction.
(c) Check to see that there is no obvious play in the radial
direction of the universal joints.
(d) Check the boot for damage.
2. REMOVE INBOARD AND OUTBOARD JOINT BOOT
CLAMPS
(a) Using a screwdriver, remove the 4 boot clamps.
(b) Slide the inboard joint boot toward the outboard joint.
3. DISASSEMBLE INBOARD JOINT TULIP
(a) Place matchmarks on the inboard joint tulip and drive
shaft.
(b) Remove the inboard joint tulip from the drive shaft.
4. DISASSEMBLE TRIPOD
(a) Using a snap ring expander, remove the snap ring.
(b) Place matchmarks on the shaft and tripod.
(c) Using a brass bar and hammer, remove the tripod from
the drive shaft.
NOTICE:
Do not tap the roller.
5. REMOVE INBOARD AND OUTBOARD JOINT BOOT
CLAMPS AND BOOTS
NOTICE:
Do not disassemble the outboard joint.
6. REMOVE DUST DEFLECTOR
Using a screwdriver and hammer, remove the dust deflector.

6. ASSEMBLE NEW BOOT CLAMPS TO BOTH BOOTS
(a) Make sure the 2 boots are on the shaft groove.
(b) Make sure that the 2 boots are not stretched or contracted
when the drive shaft is at standard length.
Standard length:
481.2 − 491.2 mm (18.945 − 19.339 in.)
(c) Using a screwdriver, bend the clamp and lock with a
screwdriver.

1996 TOYOTA T100 (RM449U)
DISASSEMBLY
1. CHECK RUNOUT OF COMPANION FLANGE
Using a dial indicator, measure the runout of the companion
flange vertical and lateral.
Maximum
Vertical runout: 0.10 mm (0.0039 in.)
Lateral runout: 0.10 mm (0.0039 in.)
2. MEASURE DRIVE PINION PRELOAD
Using a torque wrench, measure the drive pinion preload using
the backlash of the drive pinion and ring gear.
Preload (at starting):
0.6 − 1.0 N·m (6 − 10 kgf·cm, 5.2 − 8.7 in.·lbf)
If the runout is greater than the maximum, replace the compan-
ion flange.
3. CHECK TOTAL PRELOAD
Using a torque wrench, measure the total 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.
4. REMOVE A.D.D. ACTUATOR
(a) Remove the 4 bolts.
(b) Using a hammer handle, remove the actuator.
5. REMOVE DIFFERENTIAL CARRIER COVER
Remove the 8 bolts and tap out the cover with a plastic hammer.
6. CHECK SIDE GEAR BACKLASH
Using a dial indicator, measure the side gear backlash with
holding one pinion gear toward the differential case.
Backlash: 0.05 − 0.20 mm (0.0020 − 0.0079 in.)
If the backlash is out of specification, install the correct thrust
washers (See page SA−57).

12. CHECK RING GEAR RUNOUT
Using a dial indicator, measure the ring gear runout.
Maximum runout: 0.07 mm (0.0028 in.)
If the runout is greater than the maximum, replace the ring gear
and drive pinion as a set.
13. CHECK RING GEAR BACKLASH
(a) Fix the dial indicator on the tooth surface at a 90° angle.
(b) Using a dial indicator, with holding the drive pinion flange
and measure the ring gear backlash.
Backlash: 0.13 − 0.18 mm (0.0051 − 0.0070 in.)
If the backlash is not within the specification, adjust the ring
gear backlash.
HINT:
Measure from 3 or more places on the circumference of the ring
gear.
14. INSPECT TOOTH CONTACT BETWEEN RING GEAR
AND DRIVE PINION (See page SA−57)
15. REMOVE COMPANION FLANGE
(a) Using a chisel and hammer, unstake the nut.
(b) Using SST to hold the flange, remove the nut.
