7. Install side gear to pinion mate gears.
8. Install each disc and plate.
Use same procedures as outlined in steps 1. through 4. above.
9. Install differential case A.
Position differential cases A and B by correctly aligning marks
stamped on cases.
10. Tighten differential case bolts.

11. Place ring gear on differential case and install new lock straps
and bolts.
Tighten bolts in a criss-cross fashion, lightly tapping bolt head

To avoid confusion while calculating bearing shims, it is absolutely
necessary to stay with the metric system. If you measure anything
in inches, the results MUST be converted to the metric system.
Drive Pinion Height
1. First prepare Tools for pinion height adjustment.

6. Substitute these values into the equation to calculate the thick-
ness of the washer.
If values signifying H, D¢and S are not given, regard them as
zero and calculate.

7. Select the proper washer. (Refer to PD-57.)
If you cannot find the desired thickness of washer, use washer
with thickness closest to the calculated value.
Example:
Calculated value ... T = 3.32 mm
Used washer ... T = 3.33 mm

Tooth Contact
Gear tooth contact pattern check is necessary to verify correct
relationship between ring gear and drive pinion.
Hypoid gear sets which are not positioned properly in relation to
one another may be noisy, or have short life span or both. With a
pattern check, the most desirable contact for low noise level and
long life can be assured.
1. Thoroughly clear ring gear and dive pinion teeth.
2. Sparingly apply a mixture of powdered ferric oxide and oil or
equivalent to 3 or 4 teeth of ring gear drive side.
3. Hold companion flange steady by hand and rotate the ring gear
in both directions.

6. Install drive pinion bearing spacer, pinion bearing adjusting
shim and drive pinion in gear carrier.
7. Insert companion flange into drive pinion by tapping the com-
panion flange with a soft hammer.
8. Tighten pinion nut to specified torque.
The threaded portion of drive pinion and pinion nut should be
free from oil or grease.

9. Turn drive pinion in both directions several times, and measure
pinion bearing preload.
Tool number:
ST3127S000
Pinion bearing preload:
1.7 - 2.5 N×m (17 - 26 kg-cm, 15 - 23 in-lb)

11. Position side bearing on gear carrier with threads properly
engaged; screw in adjusters lightly at this stage of assembly.
Tool number:

12. Align mark on bearing cap with that on gear carrier and install
bearing cap on gear carrier.
IDo not tighten at this point to allow further tightening of side
bearing adjusters.
13. Tighten both right and left side bearing adjusters alternately and
measure ring gear backlash and total preload at the same time.
Adjust right and left side bearing adjusters by tightening them
alternately so that proper ring gear backlash and total preload
can be obtained.
Ring gear-to-drive pinion backlash:
0.15 - 0.20 mm (0.0059 - 0.0079 in)
IWhen checking preload, turn drive pinion in both direc-
tions several times to set bearing rollers.
Tool number:
ST3127S000
The total pinion bearing preload value with the differential case
assembly should be in accordance with the same value measured
without the differential case assembly. (See point 9.)
The relationship between both is:
