REASSEMBLY
1. CONVENTIONAL DIFFERENTIAL ONLY:
ADJUST DIFFERENTIAL PINION GEAR BACKLASH
(a) Install the proper thrust washers on the side gears.
HINT:
Using the table below, select thrust washers which will ensure
that the backlash is within the specification.
Thrust washer thickness
Thickness mm (in.)Thickness mm (in.)
1.6 (0.063)1.8 (0.071)
1.7 (0.067)-
(b) Install the side gears, pinion gears, pinion gear thrust
washers and pinion shaft in the differential case.
HINT:
Align the holes of the differential case and pinion shaft.
(c) Push the side gear shafts gently into the differential case
by hand and install them.
(d) 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 different
thickness side gear thrust washers.
(e) Remove the side gear shaft.
2. CONVENTIONAL DIFFERENTIAL ONLY:
INSTALL STRAIGHT PIN AND STAKE DIFFERENTIAL
CASE
(a) Using a pin punch and hammer, install the straight pin
through the differential case and hole of the pinion shaft.
(b) Stake the differential case.
