Visual Check
Inspect the following parts for wear, damage, or other
abnormal conditions.
Ring Gear Replacement
(1) The ring gear should always be replaced with the drive
pinion as a set.
(2) W hen installing the ring gear, apply LOCTITE 271 or

5. Inner Bearing
Place the shim on the drive pinion, with the chamfered side
turned towards the pinion head then install the inner bearing on
to the pinion using an installer and a press.
Installer : 9-8522-1165-0 (J-6133-01)
Note:
Do not apply pressure to the roller cage.
Apply pressure only to the inner race.
6. Collapsible Spacer
Discard the used collapsible spacer and install a new one.
9. Oil Seal
Use oil seal installer to install a new oil seal that has been
soaked in rear axle lubricant.
Installer : 5-8522-0046-0 (J-26234) (For 167 mm)
9-8522-1275-0 (J-24250) (For 194 mm)
Note :
Take care not to use a rear differential oil seal instead of
the front differential oil seal.
12.Flange Nut and Washer
For 194 mm
(1) Apply lubricant to the pinion threads.
(2) Tighten the nut to the specified torque using the pinion
flange holder.

(3) Pinion bearing preload
(a) Measure the bearing preload by using a torque meter. Note
the scale reading required to rotate the flange.
(b) continue tightening until the specified starting torque is
obtained.
Starting Torque N

13.Adjust Shim
(1) Attach the side bearing to the differential assembly without
shims. Support the opposite side using a pilot to prevent
bearing damage.

(2) Insert the differential cage assembly with bearing outer
races into the side bearing bores of the carrier.
(3) Using two sets of feeler gauges, insert a feeler stock of
sufficient thickness between each bearing outer race and
the carrier to remove all end plat. Make certain the feeler
stock is pushed to the bottom of the bearing bores.
Mount the dial indicator on the carrier so that the indicator
stem is at right angles to a tooth on the ring gear.
Dial indicator : 5884-0126-0
(J-8001)
(4) Adjust feeler gauge thickness from side to side until ring
gear backlash is in the specified range.
Backlash mm(in)
0.13 - 0.18 (0.005 - 0.007)
W ith zero end play and correct backlash established,
remove the feeler gauge packs, determine the thickness of
the shims required and add 0.05 mm (0.002 in) to each
shim pack to provide side bearing preload. Always use new
shims.
(5) Remove side bearing
