1998 NISSAN PATROL Propeller Shaft And Differential Carrier Workshop Manual

Differential Case Ð 2-pinion type Ð
1. Install side gears, pinion mate gears and thrust washers into
differential case.
2. Fit pinion mate shaft to differential case so that it meets lock pin
holes.
3. Adjust backlash between side gear and pinion mate gear by
selecting side gear thrust washer. Refer to SDS.
Backlash between side gear and pinion mate gear
(Clearance between side gear thrust washer and dif-
ferential case):
0.15 - 0.20 mm (0.0059 - 0.0079 in)
4. Install pinion mate shaft lock pin with a punch.
Make sure lock pin is ¯ush with case.
5. Apply gear oil to gear tooth surfaces and thrust surfaces and
make sure they turn properly.
6. Install differential case assembly on ring gear.
Tighten bolts in a criss-cross pattern, lightly tapping bolt head
with a hammer.
7. Press-®t side bearing inner cones on differential case with Tool.

2. Select drive pinion height adjusting washer. Refer to ADJUST-
MENT (PD-27).
3. Install drive pinion height adjusting washer in drive pinion, and
press-®t pinion rear bearing inner cone in it, with press and
Tool.
Tool number: ST30911000
4. Place pinion front bearing inner cone in gear carrier.
5. Apply multi-purpose grease to cavity at sealing lips of oil seal.
Install front oil seal.

6. Install drive pinion bearing spacer, pinion bearing adjusting
shim and drive pinion in gear carrier.
7. Insert companion ¯ange into drive pinion by tapping the com-
panion ¯ange with a soft hammer.
8. Tighten pinion nut to the speci®ed torque.
The threaded portion of drive pinion and pinion nut should be
free from oil or grease.
Tool number: KV38104700
9. Turn drive pinion in both directions several times, and measure
pinion bearing preload.
Tool number: ST3127S000
Pinion bearing preload (with front oil seal):
1.4 - 1.7 Nzm (14 - 17 kg-cm, 12 - 15 in-lb)
If preload is out of speci®cation, adjust the thickness of spacer and
shim combination by replacing shim and spacer with thinner one.
+Start from the combination of thickest spacer and shim.
+Combine each spacer and shim thickness one by one until the
correct speci®cation are achieved.
Drive pinion bearing preload adjusting spacer and
shim:
Refer to SDS (PD-51).

10. Install differential case assembly with side bearing outer races
into gear carrier.
11. Position side bearing adjusters on gear carrier with threads
properly engaged; screw in adjusters lightly at this stage of
assembly.
Tool number:
ST32580000
12. Align mark on bearing cap with that on gear carrier and install
bearing cap on gear carrier.
+Do not tighten at this point to allow further tightening of side
bearing adjusters.
13. Tighten both right and left side bearing adjusters alternately and
measure ring gear backlash and total preload at the same time.
Adjust right and left side bearing adjusters by tightening them
alternately so that proper ring gear backlash and total preload
can be obtained.
Ring gear-to-drive pinion backlash:
0.15 - 0.20 mm (0.0059 - 0.0079 in)
+When checking preload, turn drive pinion in both direc-
tions several times to set bearing rollers.
Tool number: ST3127S000
Total preload (with front oil seal):

14. Tighten side bearing cap bolts.
15. Install side lock ®nger in place to prevent rotation during opera-
tion.
16. Check runout of ring gear with a dial indicator.
Runout limit: 0.08 mm (0.0031 in)
+If backlash varies excessively in different places, the variance
may have resulted from foreign matter caught between the ring
gear and the differential case.
+If the backlash varies greatly when the runout of the ring gear
is within a speci®ed range, the hypoid gear set or differential
case should be replaced.
17. Check tooth contact. Refer to ADJUSTMENT (PD-27).
