DISASSEMBLY OF DIFFERENTIAL
1. REMOVE CARRIER COVER
2. MEASURE TOTAL PRELOAD
Using a torque meter, measure the total preload, and note
the measurement value.
3. MEASURE BACKLASH OF SIDE GEAR
Measure each side gear backlash while holding one pin-
ion toward the case.
Standard backlash:
0.05 ± 0.20 mm (0.0020 ± 0.0079 in.)
4. REMOVE LH BEARING RETAINER
(a) Remove the 6 bolts.
(b) Tap the retainer with a plastic hammer to remove it.
(c) Remove the O±ring from the retainer.
5. REMOVE RH SIDE BEARING CAP
Remove the 2 bolts and the side bearing cap.

6. REMOVE DIFFERENTIAL CASE, OUTER RACE AND
ADJUSTING SHIM
Remove the differential case, the outer race and the ad-
justing shim from the case.
7. MEASURE DRIVE PINION PRELOAD
Using a torque meter, measure the drive pinion preload.
Preload (at starting):
Reused bearing
0.5 ± 0.8 N´m (5 ± 8 kgf´cm, 4.3 ± 6.9 in.´lbf)
The total preload measured in step 2 minus the drive pin-
ion preload equals 0.1 ± 0.2 N´m (1.5 ± 2.0 kgf´cm, 1.3 ±
1.7in.´lbf).
If the result is not within this specification, the side bearing
preload is bad.
8. REMOVE DRIVE PINION CAP
(a) Remove the drive pinion cap installation bolt.
(b) Using a screwdriver, push out the drive pinion cap.
9. REMOVE COUNTER DRIVEN GEAR
(a) Using a chisel, loosen the staked part of the nut.

DIFFERENTIAL CASE DISASSEMBLY
1. REMOVE RING GEAR
(a) Loosen the staked part of the lock plate.
(b) Remove the 8 bolts and locking plates.
(c) Using a copper hammer, tap on the ring gear to remove
it from the case.
2. REMOVE SIDE BEARINGS
Fasten SST under the bearing above the cutouts on the
speedometer drive gear. Remove the bearing from the
case.
SST 09502±10012
3. CHECK SIDE GEAR BACKLASH
Using a dial gauge, measure the backlash of each side
gear while holding one pinion toward the case.
Standard backlash:
0.05 ± 0.20 mm (0.0020 ± 0.0079 in.)
4. DISASSEMBLE DIFFERENTIAL CASE
(a) Drive out the pinion shaft lock pin from the side on which
the ring gear is installed.

(b) Remove the pinion shaft from the case.
(c) Remove the 2 pinions and 2 side gears with the 4 thrust
washers.
5. REMOVE LH OIL SEAL
Using a hammer and screwdriver, remove the oil seal.
6. REMOVE BEARING OUTER RACE FROM LH SIDE
BEARING RETAINER
Using SST, press out the outer race and shim.
SST 09350±32014 (09351±32090)
7. REMOVE RH OIL SEAL
Using a hammer and screwdriver, remove the oil seal.
DIFFERENTIAL CASE ASSEMBLY
1. INSTALL RH OIL SEAL
(a) Using SST, drive in a new oil seal until its surface is flush
with the surface of the case.
SST 09350±32014 (09351±32130, 09351±32150)
(b) Coat the oil seal lip with MP grease.

2. INSTALL BEARING OUTER RACE TO LH SIDE BEAR-
ING RETAINER
(a) Place the shim onto the retainer.
(b) Using SST, press a new outer race into the retainer.
SST 09350±32014 (09351±32111, 09351±32130)
HINT: Use the 2.60 mm (0.1024 in.) thick thim.
3. INSTALL LH OIL SEAL
(a) Using SST, drive in a new oil seal.
SST 09350±32014 (09351±32130, 09351±32150)
Oil seal drive in depth:
2.7 mm (0.106 in.)
(b) Coat the oil seal lip with MP grease.
4. ASSEMBLE DIFFERENTIAL CASE
(a) Install the removed thrust washers to the side gears.
(b) Install the side gears with thrust washers, pinion thrust
washers and pinion gears.
(c) Install the pinion shaft.
