Backlash lnspection
1.Place the differential assembly on V-blocks (A), and
install both axles.
Measure the backlash of both pinion gears (B) with
a dial indicator (C). lf the backlash is not within the
standard, replace the differential carrier.
Standard (New): 0.05 0.15 mm (0.002 0.006 in.)
Final Driven Gear/Carrier
Replacement
1. Remove the bolts (left-hand threads) in a crisscross
pattern in several steps, then remove the final
driven gear (A)from the differential carrier {B).
t x t.o mm {to)121 Nm(12.3 kgf m,89 rbt.ft)
Install the final driven gear with the chamfer on the
inside diameter facing the carrier. Align the marks
on the final driven gear and the carrier. Tighten the
bolts in a crisscross pattern in several steps.

Carrier Bearings Replacement
Special Tool Bequired
Driver, 40 mm l.D. 07746-0030100
1. Check the carrier bearings for wear and rough
rotation. lf they rotate smoothly and their rollers
show no signs of wear, the bearings are OK,
2. Remove the carrier bearing (A) with a
commercially-available bearing puller (B).

\{
3. Install the new bearings (A)with the special tool
and a press. Press each bearing on until it bottoms.
There should be no clearance between the bearinos
and the carrier.
NOTE: Turn the sealed (B) side of the bearing away
from the differentialto install it.

Oil Seal Replacement
Special Tools Required. Driver 07749-0010000. Oil seal driver attachment 07NAD-P20A100
1. Remove the differential assembly.
2. Remove the oil seal (A) from the transmission
housing (B).
3. Removetheoil seal (A) fromtheclutch housing (B).
4. Installthe new oil seal in the transmission housinq
with the special tools.
5. Installthe new oil seal in the clutch housing with
the special tools.

1. Install an 80 mm shim that's the same size as the
one you removeo.
2.Install the differential assembly into the clutch
housing.

Install the transmission housing onto the clutch
housing, then tighten the 8 mm flange bolts in a
crisscross pattern in several steps (see step 15 on
page 13-48).

7. Remove the lock pin {A)from the lower arm balljoint castle nut (B), and remove the nut.
NOTE:. To avoid damaging the balljoint, install a hex nut
on to the threads of the ball joint,
. Be careful not to damage the balljoint boot when
installing the remover.

Separate the ball joint from the lower arm (C) with
the special tool (see step 3 on page 18-19).
Be careful not to dislodge the lower ball joint from
the knuckle.
Pull the knuckle outward, and remove the
driveshaft outboard joint from the front wheel hub
using a plastic hammer.

10. Left driveshaft: Pry the inboard joint (A)from the
differential case with a prybar. Right driveshaft:
Drive the inboard joint (A) off of the intermediate
shaft with a drift and hammer. Remove the
driveshaft as an assembly. Do not pull on the
driveshaft (B), because the inboard joint may come
apart. Draw the driveshaft straight out to avoid
damaging the oil seal.

Clean the areas where the driveshaft contacts thedifferential thoroughly with solvent, and dry withcompressed air. Insenthe inboard end {A) ofthedriveshaft into the differential (B) or intermediateshaft {C) until the set ring (D) locks in the groove (E).
4. Install the outboard joint (A) into the front hub (B).

5. Wipe offthe grease from the ball ioint and lowerarm tapered surfaces. Installthe knuckle (A) ontothe lower arm {B). Be careful not to damage the balljoint boot. Wipe off the grease before tighteningthe nut at the ball joint. Torque the new castle nut(C) to the lower torque specification, then tighten itonly far enough to align the slot with the ball joint
pin hole. Do not align the nut by loosening it.
NOTE: Make sure the ball joint boot is not damageor cracks.
