OIL CHANGE
1) Before oil change or inspection, be sure to stop engine and
set vehicle horizontally.
2) Check oil level and existence of leakage. If leakage is found,
correct its cause.
3) Remove level/filler plug (2) and drain plug (1), then drain old
oil.
4) Install new gasket to drain plug and tighten drain plug to
specified torque.
Tightening torque
Rear differential oil drain plug
(a) : 55 N·m (5.5 kg-m, 40.0 lb-ft)
5) Fill proper amount of new gear oil as specified below
(roughly up to level hole).
6) Install new gasket to level/filler plug and tighten level/filler
plug to specified torque.
Tightening torque

NOTE:
 It is highly recommended to use SAE 80W-90 viscosity.
 Whenever vehicle is hoisted for any other service work
than oil change, also be sure to check for oil leakage.

12) While tightening bevel pinion nut gradually with bevel pinion
holder (special tool), set preload of pinion to specification.
Pinion bearing preload
: 5.0 – 13.0 kg-cm ( 4.4 – 11.2 lb-in.)
Special tool

Differential Assembly
1) Place differential gear case assembly to differential carrier,
push differential case to left side as shown in figure.
Then measure clearance “a” between side bearing and dif-
ferential carrier by using thickness gauge.
Select shims closest to measured value.

0.669 and 0.0689 in.)
2) Divide selected shim(s) between both sides (right and left)
and install them to differential carrier. Then install differential
side bearing cap.
Tightening torque
Differential side bearing cap bolts
(a) : 23 N·m (2.3 kg-m, 17.0 lb-ft) NOTE:
 Before taking measurement, check for smooth rotation
by hand.
 Bevel pinion bearing preload is adjusted by tightening
bevel pinon nut to deform spacer.
Therefore, be sure to use a new spacer for adjustment
and tighten pinion nut step by step and check for start-
ing torque (preload) as often as tightening to prevent
over crushing of spacer.
If exceeds specification given below during adjust-
ment, replace spacer and repeat preload adjustment
procedure. Attempt to decrease starting torque (pre-
load) by loosening pinon nut will not do.
1. Torque wrench
2. Differential input hub
3. Socket with adapter
NOTE:
 Align match marks (1) on cap and carrier.
 Apply gear oil to bearing.

7F-20 REAR DIFFERENTIAL
UNIT ASSEMBLY
Before installing viscous coupling case (1) to differential carrier
(2), clean mating surfaces of viscous coupling case and differen-
tial carrier, then apply sealant to differential carrier (2) by using a
nozzle as shown in figure by such amount that its section is
1.5mm (0.059 in.) in diameter.
“A” : Sealant 99000-31110
Tightening torque
Coupling case bolts (a) : 25 N·m (2.5 kg-m, 18.0 lb-ft)
TIGHTENING TORQUE SPECIFICATION
Irregular patterns: If the pattern is not oval, it means
that bevel gear is defective. High or low spots on tooth
surfaces or on the seat of bevel gear are the cause of
irregular patterns appearing on some teeth. The rem-
edy is to replace the pinion and-gear set and, if the
seat is defective, so is transfer case. TOOTH CONTACT PATTERN DIAGNOSIS AND REMEDY

PAINT AND COATINGS .................................. 9-50 WARNING:
For vehicles equipped with Supplemental Restraint (Air Bag) System:
Service on and around the air bag system components or wiring must be performed only by an
authorized SUZUKI dealer. Refer to “Air Bag System Components and Wiring Location View” under
“General Description” in air bag system section in order to confirm whether you are performing ser-
vice on or near the air bag system components or wiring. Please observe all WARNINGS and “Ser-
vice Precautions” under “On-Vehicle Service” in air bag system section before performing service
on or around the air bag system components or wiring. Failure to follow WARNINGS could result in
unintentional activation of the system or could render the system inoperative. Either of these two
conditions may result in severe injury.
Technical service work must be started at least 90 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to the
“LOCK” position and the negative cable is disconnected from the battery. Otherwise, the system
may be activated by reserve energy in the Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM).
When body servicing, if shock may be applied to air bag system component parts, remove those
parts beforehand. (Refer to Section 10B.)
NOTE:
Fasteners are important attaching parts in that they could affect the performance of vital components
and systems, and / or could result in major repair expense. They must be replaced with one of the
same part number of with an equivalent part if replacement becomes necessary.
Do not use a replacement part of lesser quality or substitute a design. Torque values must be used as
specified during reassembly to assure proper retention of these parts.
