Important Operations
4. Pinion Gear
Install the pinion gear by engaging it with the side gears while
turning both pinion gears simultaneously in the same direction.
6. Cross Pin
(1) Be sure to install the cross pin so that it is in alignment with
the lock pin hole in the differential cage.
(2) Backlash between the side gear and the pinion gear.
Backlash mm(in)
194 mm 0.03 - 0.08 (0.001 - 0.003)
220 mm 0.13 - 0.18 (0.005 - 0.007)
If the backlash is beyond the limits, adjust with a thrust washer
of selected thickness.
Thicknesses of thrust washers available.

4Gage plate : 5-8840-2166-0 (J-23597-42)
(3) Set the dial indicator to "0". Place it on the mounting post of
the gaging arbor with the contact button touching the
indicator pad. Force the dial indicator downward until the
needle has made a half turn clockwise. Tighten down the
dial indicator in this position.
(4) Position the plunger on the gage plate. Move the gaging
arbor slowly back and forth and locate the position at which
the dial indicator shows the greatest deflection. At this point,
once again set the dial indicator to "0".
Repeat the procedure to verify the "0" setting.
(5) After the ZERO setting is obtained, rotate the gaging arbor
until the dial indicator rod does not touch the gaging plate.
Record the number the dial indicator needle points to.

Note :
1. It is very important that the liquid gaskets listed above or their exact equivalent be used on the vehicle.
2. Be careful to use the specified amount of liquid gasket.
Follow the manufacture's instructions at all times.
3. Be absolutely sure to remove all lubricants and moisture from the connecting surfaces before applying
the liquid gasket.
The connecting surfaces must be perfectly dry.
4. LOCTITE 515 and LOCTITE 518 harden upon contact with a metal surface.
Do not apply LOCTITE 515 or LOCTITE 518 between two metal surfaces having a clearance of greater
than 0.25 mm (0.01 in). Poor adhesion will result.
RECOMMENDED THREAD LOCKING AGENTS
LOCTITE Type LOCTITE Color Application Steps
