DISASSEMBLY
1. SET DIFFERENTIAL CARRIER TO OVERHAUL
STAND, ETC.
2. CHECK RUNOUT OF COMPANION FLANGE
Using a dial indicator, measure the vertical and lateral runout of
the companion flange.
Maximum runout: 0.10 mm (0.0039 in.)
If the runout is greater then the maximum, replace the compan-
ion flange.
3. CHECK RING GEAR RUNOUT
Using a dial indicator, measure the ring gear runout.
Maximum runout: 0.05 mm (0.0020 in.)
If the runout is greater than the maximum, replace the ring gear.
4. CHECK RING GEAR BACKLASH
Using a dial indicator, while holding the drive pinion flange,
measure the ring gear backlash.
Backlash: 0.13 - 0.18 mm (0.0051 - 0.0071 in.)
HINT:
Perform the measurements at 3 or more positions around the
circumference of the ring gear.
If the backlash is not within the specified value, adjust the side
bearing preload or repair as necessary.

5. MEASURE DRIVE PINION PRELOAD
Using a torque wrench, measure the drive pinion preload using
the backlash of the drive pinion and ring gear.

6. CHECK TOTAL PRELOAD
Using a torque wrench, measure the total preload with the teeth
of the drive pinion and ring gear in contact.
Total preload (at starting):
Drive pinion preload plus
0.38 - 0.63 N´m (3.9 - 6.5 kgf´cm, 3.3 - 5.6 in.´lbf)
If necessary, disassemble and inspect the differential.
7. CHECK TOOTH CONTACT BETWEEN RING GEAR
AND DRIVE PINION (See page SA-150)
8. REMOVE COMPANION FLANGE
(a) Using a chisel and hammer, unstake the nut.
(b) Using SST to hold the flange, remove the nut.

10. REMOVE FRONT BEARING
Using SST, remove the front bearing from the drive pinion.
SST 09556-22010
If the front bearing is damaged or worn, replace the bearing.
11. REMOVE DIFFERENTIAL CASE
(a) Place matchmarks on the bearing cap and differential car-
rier.
(b) Remove the 2 bolts and adjusting nut locks.
(c) Remove the 4 bolts, 2 bearing caps and adjusting nuts.
HINT:
Tag the disassembled parts to show the location for reassem-
bling.
(d) Remove the differential case with the bearing outer races.
HINT:
Tag the disassembled parts to show the location for reassem-
bling.
12. REMOVE DRIVE PINION AND BEARING SPACER
(a) Remove the drive pinion with the rear bearing.
(b) Remove the bearing spacer.
13. REMOVE DRIVE PINION REAR BEARING
(a) Using SST and a press, remove the rear bearing from the
drive pinion.
SST 09950-00020
HINT:
If the drive pinion or ring gear is damaged, replace them as a
set.
(b) Remove the plate washer from the drive pinion.
14. REMOVE FRONT AND REAR BEARING OUTER
RACES
Using a brass bar and hammer, remove the outer races.

15. REMOVE RING GEAR
(a) Place matchmarks on the ring gear and differential case.
(b) Remove the 12 ring gear set bolts.
(c) Using a plastic hammer, tap on the ring gear to remove it
from the differential case.
16. CHECK DIFFERENTIAL CASE RUNOUT
(a) Place the bearing outer races on their respective bear-
ings. Check that the right and left outer races are not inter-
changed.
(b) Install the differential case in the differential carrier.
(c) Tighten the adjusting nut just to where there is no play in
the bearing.
(d) Align the matchmarks on the bearing cap and differential
carrier.
(e) Install and uniformly tighten the bearing cap bolts a little
at a time.
(f) Using a dial indicator, measure the differential case run-
out.
Maximum runout: 0.04 mm (0.0016 in.)
(g) Remove the differential case.
17. REMOVE SIDE BEARINGS FROM DIFFERENTIAL
CASE
Using SST, remove the 2 side bearings from the differential
case.
SST 09950-00020, 09950-00030,
09950-4001 1 (09957-04010),

INSPECTION
1. REPLACE PARTS THAT ARE DAMAGED OR WORN
HINT:
If replacing the side gear, also replace the thrust washer that
contact with it.
2. INSPECT SIDE GEAR THRUST WASHERS FOR WEAR
OR DAMAGE

thrust washer is even and check that no bare metal is showing.
Thickness (Reference):
1.97 - 2.06 mm (0.0776 - 0.0811 in.)
If necessary, replace the thrust washer.
HINT:
If replacing the thrust washer, also replace the clutch plate that
contacts with it.
3. INSPECT CLUTCH PLATE FOR WEAR OR DAMAGE
Using a micrometer, measure the contact surface of the clutch
plate and check that there is no abnormal wear.
Thickness (Reference):
1.97 - 2.03 mm (0.0776 - 0.0799 in.)
If necessary, replace the clutch plate.
