If the preload is greater than the specification, replace the
spacer.
If the preload is less than the specification, retighten the nut with
a force of 13 N´m (130 kgf´cm, 9 ft´lbf) at a time until the speci-
fied preload is reached.
Torque: 490 N´m (5,000 kgf´cm, 362 ft´lbf) or less
If the maximum torque is exceeded while retightening the nut,
replace the spacer and repeat the preload procedure.
Do not back off the nut to reduce the preload.

28. INSTALL OIL SEALS FROM DIFFERENTIAL CARRIER
RETAINERS
(a) Using SST and a press, install 2 new oil seals to the carrier
retainers.

33. INSTALL SIDE GEAR SHAFTS
Using a brass and hammer, install the 2 side gear shafts.
HINT:
Whether or not the side gear shaft is making contact with the
pinion shaft can be known by the sound or feeling when driving
it in.
NOTICE:
Be careful not to damage the oil seal.
34. REMOVE DIFFERENTIAL CARRIER FROM OVER-
HAUL STAND, ETC.
35. INSTALL DIFFERENTIAL CARRIER COVER
(a) Clean the contact surfaces of the carrier and cover of any
residual FIPG material using cleaner.
(b) Coat FIPG to the carrier or cover.
FIPG:
Part No. 08826±00090, THREE BOND 1281 or equiva-
lent
(c) Install the carrier cover to the carrier with the 8 bolts.
Torque: 47 N´m (475 kgf´cm, 34 ft´lbf)
(d) Install the breather plug.
Torque: 21 N´m (210 kgf´cm, 15 ft´lbf)
