DIFFERENTIAL AND DRIVE PINION
INSTALLATION
1. INSTALL DRIVE PINION INTO TRANSAXLE CASE
(a) Using SST, install the bearing to the drive pinion shaft.
SST 09350±32014 (09351±32120)
(b) Place the bearing cage onto the drive pinion shaft.
NOTICE: Be careful not to damage the oil seals with the
pinion shaft.
(c) Using a brass bar and hammer, slightly tap the bearing
cage into the transaxle case until the snap ring groove in
the bore can be seen.
(d) Using SST, install snap ring into the bore.
SST 09350±32014 (09351±32050)
(e) Using SST, install the snap ring.

If the preload is less then specified, retighten the nut
13 N´m (130 kgf´cm, 9 ft´lbf) at a time until the speci-
fied preload is reached.
If the maximum torque is exceeded while retightening the
nut, replace the bearing spacer and repeat the preload
procedure.
Do not back off the nut to reduce the preload.
Maximum torque: 353 N´m (3,600 kgf´cm, 260 ft´lbf)
(e) If the preload is adjusted within specification, make a note
of it.
(f) Stroke the lock nut.
6. INSTALL APPLY GASKET
7. PLACE OUTER RACE AND SHIM ONTO RH SIDE
BEARING
8. PLACE DIFFERENTIAL CASE INTO TRANSAXLE
CASE
Be sure to install the shim and outer race into place.

9. INSTALL CARRIER COVER
(a) Remove any packing material and be careful not to drop
oil on the contacting surfaces of the carrier cover and
transaxle case.
(b) Apply seal packing to the carrier cover.
Seal packing:
Part No.08826±00090, THREE BOND 1281 or equiva-
lent
HINT: Install the carrier cover within 10 minutes after ap-
plying seal packing.
(c) Install and torque the 11 bolts.
Torque: 39 N´m (400 kgf´cm, 29 ft´lbf)
HINT: Each bolt length is indicated below.
Bolt length:
Bolt A: 100 mm (3.937 in.)
Bolt B: 65 mm (2.559 in.)
Bolt C: 75 mm (2.953 in.)
10. ADJUST SIDE BEARING PRELOAD
(a) Remove any packing material on the contacting surfaces
of the LH bearing retainer and transaxle case.
HINT: Do not apply seal packing yet.
(b) Install the LH bearing retainer and torque the 6 bolts.
Torque: 19 N´m (195 kgf´cm, 14 ft´lbf)
(c) Snap down the bearings by turning the differential case
several times.
(d) Using a small torque wrench, measure the differential to-
tal preload.
Total preload (at starting):
New bearing
Drive pinion preload plus 0.2±0.4 N´m
(2.5±5.1 kgf´cm, 2.2±3.6 in.´lbf)
Reused bearing
Drive pinion preload plus 0.1±0.2 N´m
(1.3±2.0 kgf´cm, 1.1±1.7 in.´lbf)
If the preload is not within specification, replace the ad-
justing shim in the LH bearing retainer with one of a differ-
ent thickness.

11. INSTALL LH BEARING RETAINER
(a) Remove the 6 bolts and LH bearing retainer.
(b) Remove any FIPG material on the contacting surfaces of
LH bearing retainer, transaxle case and carrier cover.
(c) Apply FIPG to the transaxle case and carrier cover.
FIPG: Part No.08826±00090, THREE BOND 1281 or equiva-
lent
HINT: Install the LH bearing retainer within 10 minutes af-
ter applying FIPG.
(d) Install the LH bearing retainer.
(e) Coat the threads of bolts with sealer.
Sealer: Part No.08833±00070, THREE BOND 1324 or equiv-
alent
(f) Tighten the bolts.
Torque: 19 N´m (195 kgf´cm, 14 ft´lbf)
(g) Snap down the bearings.
(h) Recheck the differential total preload.
