Backlash Inspection
1. Place the dilferential assembly on V-blocks and in-
stall both axles.
2. Check backlash of both pinion gears.
Standard lNsw): 0.05 - 0.15 mm {0.(Xt2 - o.(Xl6 in)
3. lf the backlash is not within the standard, reDlace
the differential carrier.

Bearing Replacement
NOTE: Check the bearings for wear and rough rotation
lf the bearings are OK, removal is not necessary.
1. Remove the ball bearings using a bearing puller'
Install the new ball bearings using the special tool
with a press as shown.

Measure the clearanc; between the thrust shim and
outer race of the ball bearing in the transmission
nousrng.
STANDARD: O-0.15 mm (O-O.O06 in)
It out of limits. select a new thrust shim from the
tollowing table:
THRUST SHIM, 80 mm
NOTE: Il the thrust shim-to-ball bearing outer race
clearance measured in step 5 is within the standard,
it is not necessary to perform steps 7 and 8.
Remove the transmission housing.
Replace the 2.50 mm {0.098 in) thrust shim with
the one of the correct thickness selected in step 6.
Install the transmission housing (see sectjon 14).

Install a 12 mm hex nut on the ball joint. Be sure
that the hex nut is flush with the ball joint pin end.
or the threaded section of the ball joint pin might be
damaged by the special tool.
Use the special tool as shown on page 18-11, to
separate the ball ioint and lower arm.
CAUTION: Be careful not to damage th6 ball ioint
boot.
NOTE: lf necessary, apply penetrating type lubri-
cant to loosen the ball joint.
Pry the driveshaft assembly with a screwdriver, as
shown, to force the set ring at the driveshaft end
past the groove. Be careful not to damage the oil
seals when prying with the screwdriver.
12. Pull the inboard joint, and remove the right drive-
shaft from the differential case as an assemblv.
CAUTION:
. Do not pull on the driveshaft. as lhe inbosrd
ioint may come 8p8rt.
. Use care when prying out the assembly, snd pull
it straight to avoid damaging the differential oil
seal or the intermsdiats rhaft outcr 3e81.
