Installation
1. Clean the contact surfaces of the axle and differential
carrier. As shown in the drawing, apply Three Bond
TB1215 or equivalent then install differential
assembly.
425RS006
2. Install bolt and nut. Tighten the differential carrier
mounting bolts and nuts to the specified torque.
Torque:Nuts 44N´m (4.5kg´m/33 lb ft)
Bolts 64N´m (6.5kg´m/47 lb ft)
3. Install axle shaft assembly. Be sure not to damage
the oil seal by axle shaft.
4. Install nut, refer to Axle Shaft in this section.
5. Install parking brake cable, refer to Parking Brakes in
Brake section.
NOTE: After completing the assembling work, fill the
prescribed gear oil to the filler hole.
Lubricant capacity: 3.0 liter (2.6 Imp qt/3.2
US qt)
6. Tighten the oil filler plug to the specified torque.
Torque: 78N´m (8.0kg´m/58 lb ft)

Disassembly
1. Remove ring gear.
2. Place one of the axle shafts, which was removed from
the assembly, into a vise. Tighten shaft in vise firmly.
The spline end of the shaft is not to exceed 3 inches
(76.2 mm) above the top of the vise.
Position the differential on the shaft with the ring gear
side down.
3. Remove Lock pin (1) from differential shaft using a
punch.

11. Remove top side gear and clutch pack.
NOTE:
Keep the stack of plates and discs intact and in
exactly the same position while they are being
removed.
12. Remove case from holder. Turn case with flange or
ring gear side up to allow side gear and clutch pack to
be removed from case.
13. Remove differential plate retainer from both clutch
packs to allow separation of the plates and discs.
NOTE:
Keep the discs and plates in the same order as they
were removed.

Inspection and Repair
Cleaning
All parts with solvent.
Visual Inspection
Clean all parts with solvent.
Plates and Discs. If any one disc or plate in either
stack shows evidence of excessive wear or scoring,
the complete stack is to be replaced on both sides.
Side Gears and Pinion Mate Gears. The gear teeth of
these parts should be checked for extreme wear and
possible cracks. The external teeth of the side gear,
which retain the concentric groove discs, should also
be checked for wear or cracks.
If replacement of one gear is required due to wear,
etc., then both side gears, pinion mate gears, and
thrust washers are to be replaced.Differential Shaft. If excessive wear is evident, the
differential shaft should be replaced.
Differential Plate Retainers. If wear is evident on any
one of the differential plate retainers, all four retainers
must be replaced.
Differential Case. If scoring, wear or metal pickup is
evident on the machined surfaces, replacement of
the case is necessary.
Reassembly
1. Lubricate thrust face of side gears, plates and discs
with the proper limited slip rear axle lubricant.
2. Assemble plates and discs in exactly in the same
position as they were removed, regardless of whether
they are new or original.
3. Install differential plate retainer to ears of plates.
NOTE:
Make sure both retainers are completely seated on
ears of plates.
4. Install clutch pack and side gear into bottom side gear
bore. Make sure clutch pack stays assembled to side
gear splines, and that retainers are completely seated
into pockets of case.
NOTE:
To prevent clutch pack from falling out of case, hold
clutch pack in place by hand while repositioning case
on bench.
5. Install other side gear and clutch pack. Make sure
clutch pack stays assembled to side gear splines, and
retainers are completely seated into pockets of case.
6. Hold clutch pack in position and assemble special tool
5±8840±2586±0, screw cap (2), cap (1) and forcing
screw (3). Tighten forcing screw into bottom cap to
hold both clutch packs in position.
7. With tools assembled to case, position case on shaft
by aligning splines of side gear with those of shaft.
Tighten forcing screw to compress clutch packs in
order to provide clearance for pinion mate gears.

DRIVE LINE CONTROL SYSTEM (SHIFT ON THE FLY)
Normal Operation
The motor actuator mounted on transfer rear case is
driven by signal from 4WD switch on instrument panel.
After complete the connecting transfer front output gear
to, or disconnecting it from, front propeller shaft, conditionof the transfer position switch changes. The vacuum
solenoid valve (VSV) is driven by the signal from transfer
position switch and the vacuum actuator connects front
wheels to, or disconnect them from, front axles.
