3. Measure the oil clearance between the connecting
rod and the crankshaft.
1) Remove the connecting rod cap nuts and the
rod caps.
Arrange the removed rod caps in the cylinder
number order.
2) Clean the rod bearings and the crankshaft pins.
3) Carefully check the rod bearings.
If even one bearing is found to be damaged or
badly worn, the entire bearing assembly must be
replaced as a set. Reinstall the bearings in their
original positions.
Apply plastigage to the crank pin.
4) Reinstall the rod caps to their original positions.
5) Tighten the cap nuts in 2 steps, using angular
tightening method as shown in the following
specifications.
1st step: 29 Nꞏm (3.0 kgꞏm/22 lb ft)
2nd step: 45°– 60°NOTE: Do not allow the crankshaft to rotate
6) Remove the rod caps.
7) Measure the smallest width of the plastigage
and determine the oil clearance. If the oil
clearance exceeds the limit, replace the rod
bearings as a set.
8) Clean the plastigage from the bearings and the
crankshaft pins
Standard: 0.022 – 0.042 mm (0.0009 – 0.0017 in)
Limit: 0.100 mm (0.0039 in)
REASSEMBLY
1. Connecting Rod
2. Piston
3. Piston Pin
1) Apply a coat of engine oil to the piston pin and
the piston pin hole.
4. Piston Pin Snap Ring
1) Try to insert the piston pin into the piston pin
hole with normal finger pressure.
2) Weight each piston and connecting rod
assembly.
3) Select piston and connecting rod combinations
so that the weight variation of the different four
assemblies is held within the specified limits.
Variance in weight after assembly: Less than 3g
(0.1058 oz)
NOTE: When changing piston/connecting rod
combinations, do not change the piston/piston pin
combination.
4) Attach the piston to the connecting rod with the
piston front mark (2) and the connecting rod
front mark (3) on the same side.

1. Fit 5–8840–2271–0 (J–25022) and
5–8840–0618–0 (J–24773–1) turbine shaft puller
on turbine shaft.
2. Position axial play checking tool on converter
housing mating face.
3. Pull turbine shaft upwards with puller until first
resistance is met. (due to weight of overdrive
assembly).
4. Maintain shaft in this position and set indicator to
zero.
5. Pull turbine shaft further upwards with puller.
Read end play shown on indicator.

DIFFERENTIAL (REAR 220mm)
General Description
The rear axle assembly is of the semi–floating type in
which the vehicle weight is carried on the axle housing .
The center line of the pinion gear is below the center line
of the ring gear (hypoid drive).
All parts necessary to transmit power from the propeller
shaft to the rear wheels are enclosed in a banjo type axle
housing.
The 8.7 inch ring gear rear axle uses a conventional ring
and pinion gear set to transmit the driving force of the
engine to the rear wheels. This gear set transfers thisdriving force at a 90 degree angle from the propeller shaft
to the drive shafts.
The axle shafts are supported at the wheel end of the
shaft by a roller bearing.
The pinion gear is supported by two tapered roller
bearings. The pinion depth is set by a shim pack located
between the gear end of the pinion and the roller bearing
that is pressed onto the pinion. The pinion bearing
preload is set by crushing a collapsible spacer between
the bearings in the axle housing.
A04RS001
The ring gear is bolted onto the differential cage with 12
bolts.
The differential cage is supported in the axle housing by
two tapered roller bearings. The differential and ring gear
are located in relationship to the pinion by using selective
shims and spacers between the bearing and the axle
housing. To move the ring gear, shims are deleted from
one side and an equal amount are added to the other side.
These shims are also used to preload the bearings whichare pressed onto the differential cage. Two bearing caps
are used to hold the differential into the rear axle housing.
The differential is used to allow the wheels to turn at
different rates of speed while the rear axle continues to
transmit the driving force. This prevents tire scuffing
when going around corners and prevents premature wear
on internal axle parts.
The rear axle is sealed with a pinion seal, a seal at each
axle shaft end, and by a liquid gasket between the
differential carrier and the axle housing.
