7. INSTALL SIDE GEAR SHAFT
(a) Install a new snap ring to the side gear shaft.
(b) Coat MP grease onto the snap ring.

Be careful not damage the side gear shaft and oil seal.
HINT:
Whether or not the side gear shaft is making contact with the

Check that the side gear shaft will not come out by trying to pull
it out by hand.

DISASSEMBLY
1. SET DIFFERENTIAL CARRIER TO OVERHAUL STAND
ETC., AS SHOWN
2. CHECK DRIVE PINION SHAFT RUNOUT
Using dial indicator, measure the drive pinion shaft runout.
Maximum runout
ALL0.08 mm (0.0031 in.)
If the runout is not within the specification, replace the drive pin-
ion and/or ring gear.
3. 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.
4. CHECK RING GEAR RUNOUT
Using a dial indicator, measure the ring gear runout.
Maximum runout
2JZ-GTE M/T0.08 mm (0.0031 in.)
Others0.05 mm (0.0020 in.)
If the runout is not within the specification, replace the drive pin-
ion, ring gear and/or differential case.

5. CHECK RING GEAR BACKLASH
Using a dial indicator, measure the backlash of the ring gear
and drive pinion at 3 points (minimum) and check that the aver-
age value is within the specification.
Backlash (average value)
ALL0.08 - 0.13 mm (0.0031 - 0.0051 in.)
NOTICE:
The difference between the maximum and minimum mea-
sured values must be less than 0.05 mm (0.0020 in.).
If the backlash is not within the specification, adjust the ring
gear backlash (See page SA-74).
6. MEASURE DRIVE PINION PRELOAD
Using SST (or a 36 mm deep socket) and a torque wrench,
measure the preload of backlash between the drive pinion and
ring gear.
SST 09229-55010
Preload (at starting)
2JZ-GTE M/T1.0 - 1.2 N´m (10 - 12 kgf´cm, 8.9 - 10.6 in.´lbf)
Others0.5 - 0.8 N´m (5 - 8 kgf´cm, 4.3 - 6.9 in.´lbf)
7. CHECK TOTAL PRELOAD
Using SST (or a 36 mm deep socket) and a torque wrench,
measure the preload with the teeth of the drive pinion and ring
gear in contact.
SST 09229-55010
Total preload (at starting)
Drive pinion preload plus
2JZ - GTE M/T0.4 - 0.6 N´m (4 - 6 kgf´cm, 3.4 - 5.2 in.´lbf)
Others0.5 - 0.8 N´m (5 - 8 kgf´cm, 4.3 - 6.9 in.´lbf)
If necessary, disassemble and inspect the differential.
8. CONVENTIONAL DIFFERENTIAL ONLY:
CHECK PINION GEAR BACKLASH
Using a dial indicator, measure the pinion gear backlash while
holding one side gear toward the case.
Backlash: 0.05 - 0.20 mm (0.0020 - 0.0079 in.)
If the backlash is not within the specification, install the correct
thrust washer (See page SA-74).
9. CHECK TOOTH CONTACT PATTERN
(See page SA-74)
