8. Fit a drive pinion socket onto the drive pinion gear spline. Using
a pinion nut wrench, adjust the pinion nut tightening torque and
pinion bearing preload torque.
CAUTION:
●Do not reuse the pinion nut.
●Adjust the lower limit of the pinion nut tightening torque
first.
●If the preload torque exceeds the specified value, replace
the collapsible spacer and tighten it again to adjust. Never
loosen the pinion nut to adjust the preload torque.
●After adjustment, rotate the drive pinion gear back and forth
2 - 3 times to check for abnormal noise, rotation malfunc-
tion, and other malfunctions.
9. Install center oil seal.
10. Install the differential case assembly. Refer to RFD-25, "
Installa-
tion of Differential Assembly" .
CAUTION:
Do not install the rear cover.
11. Install a dummy cover set, and check backlash, drive gear back
runout, and tooth contact. Refer to RFD-17, "
TOOTH CON-
TA C T" .
12. Remove dummy cover, then install the rear cover, and drive in
the oil seal.RFD-25, "

to
13. Check overall preload torque. Refer to RFD-15, "
OVERALL PRELOAD TORQUE" .
14. Connect electronically controlled coupling assembly. Refer to RFD-28, "
Installation of Electronically Con-
trolled Coupling Assembly" .
15. Check companion flange runout. Refer to RFD-17, "
COMPANION FLANGE RUNOUT" .
Installation of Differential Assembly
1. Assemble new side gear thrust washers with the same thickness as the ones installed prior to disassem-
bly or reinstall the old ones on the side gears.
2. Assemble the side gears, side gear thrust washers, pinion mate gears, and pinion mate thrust washers to
the differential case, and temporarily assemble the pinion mate shaft. Pinion nut tightening torque:
99 - 431 N·m (10 - 43 kg-m, 73 - 317 ft-lb)
Pinion bearing preload torque:
0.69 - 1.17 N·m (0.07 - 0.11 kg-m, 7 - 10 in-lb)

9. Apply differential oil to the side bearings, and assemble new side bearing adjusting shims (2 pieces for
one side) with the same thickness as the ones installed prior to disassembly or re-install the old ones, with
a side bearing outer race to the differential case.
If the side bearing adjusting shims have been already selected, use them.
10. Fit a drift to the right and left side bearing adjusting shims indi-
vidually. Compress differential case assembly and side bearing
to install the carrier case assembly to differential case assembly.
CAUTION:
●A drift shall be placed on the center of the adjusting
shims.
●The pressure shall be as low as possible to install the
carrier case assembly into the differential assembly. The
maximum pressure shall be 1 ton.
●If the adjusting shims are installed by tapping, the carrier
case may be damaged. Avoid tapping.
11. Install a dummy cover set, check and adjust the backlash, drive gear back runout, tooth contact, and over-
all preload torque. Refer to RFD-15, "
Inspection Before Disassembly" .
12. Remove dummy cover set.
13. Apply sealant (Three bond 1217 or the equivalent) around the carrier case mounting surface on the rear
cover.Refer to
CAUTION:
Remove old sealant on the mounting surface, then remove any moisture, oil, and foreign material
on the application and mounting surfaces.
14. Fit a drift to the right and left side bearing adjusting shims indi-
vidually. Compress differential case assembly and side bearing
to install the rear cover.
CAUTION:
●A drift shall be placed on the center of the adjusting
shims.
●The pressure shall be as low as possible to install the
rear cover. The maximum pressure shall be 10kN (1 ton,
1.1US ton, 1.0 Imp ton)
●If the rear cover is forced in by tapping, the rear cover
may be damaged by the adjusting shims. Avoid tapping.
15. Tighten rear cover mounting bolts to the specified torque.
16. Using a drift, drive the oil seal until it becomes flush with the
case end.
CAUTION:
●Oil seals are not reusable. Never reuse them.
●Apply multi-purpose grease onto the oil seal lips, and dif-
ferential oil onto the circumference of the oil seal.
17. Check overall preload torque. Refer to RFD-15, "
OVERALL PRELOAD TORQUE" .
