46. REMOVE FLANGES, PLATES AND DISCS
47. TURN TRANSAXLE CASE AROUND
48. REMOVE 11 BOLTS HOLDING OVERDRIVE UNIT TO
TRANSAXLE CASE
49. REMOVE OVERDRIVE UNIT WITH ALL PARTS
(a) Tap on the overdrive case circumference with a plastic
hammer to remove the unit from the transaxle case.
(b) Remove the overdrive planetary gear and counter gear if
they remained in the transaxle.

52. REMOVE FIRST AND REVERSE BRAKE PISTON
(a) Apply compressed air into the passage of the case to re-
move the piston.
HINT: Hold the piston so it is not slanted and blow with the
gun slightly away from the oil hole.
(b) If the piston does not pop out with compressed air, use
needle±nose pliers to remove it.
(c) Remove the 2 O±rings from the piston.

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

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.

SST 09350±32014 (09351±32032)
(c) Using SST to hold the gear, remove the nut.
SST 09330±00021
(d) Using SST, remove the gear and bearing.
SST 09350±32014 (09351±32061)
10. REMOVE OUTER RACE FROM CASE
Using SST, remove the outer race.
SST 09350±32014 (09308±10010)
