Backlash lnspection
1. Place differential assembly on V-blocks and install
both axles.
Check backlash of both pinion gears
Standard {Now): 0.05 - 0.15 mm {0.002 - 0.006 in)
lf backlash is out of tolerance, replace the differen-
tial carrier.
Bearing Replacement
NOTE: Check bearings for wear and rough rotation. lf
bearings are OK, removal is not necessary.
1, Remove bearings using a bearing puller.
