5. Adjust clearance between rear face of side gear and thrust
washer by selecting side gear thrust washer. Refer to RFD-31,
"AVAILABLE PINION HEIGHT ADJUSTING WASHERS" .
Use two feeler gauges to prevent leaning of side gear as show-
ing figure.
SIDE BEARING PRELOAD
A selection of carrier side bearing adjusting washers is required for successful completion of this procedure.
1. Make sure all parts are clean. Also, make sure the bearings are
well lubricated with gear oil.
2. Place the differential case, with side bearings and bearing races
installed, into gear carrier.
3. Insert left and right original side bearing adjusting washers in
place between side bearings and carrier.
4. Install the side bearing caps in their correct locations and torque
the bearing cap retaining bolts.
5. Turn the carrier several times to seat the bearings.Clearance between side gear thrust washer and dif-
ferential case

6. Measure the turning torque of the carrier at the drive gear retain-
ing bolts with a spring gauge, J-8129.
7. If the turning torque is not within the specifications, correct the
torque as follows:

If the turning torque is less than the specified range, install
washers of greater thickness.

If the turning torque is greater than the specification, install
thinner washers.

See the SDS section for washer dimensions and part num-
bers.
8. Record the total amount of washer thickness required for the
correct carrier side bearing preload.
9. Remove the carrier from the final drive housing. Save the
selected washers for later use during the assembly of the final
drive unit.
PINION GEAR HEIGHT
1. Make sure all parts are clean and that the bearings are well
lubricated.
2. Assemble the pinion gear bearings into the differential shim
selector tool, J34309.

Pinion front bearing; make sure the J34309-3 pinion front bear-
ing seat is secured tightly against the J34309-2 gauge anvil.
Then turn the pinion front bearing pilot, J34309-5, to secure the
bearing in its proper position.

Pinion rear bearing; the pinion rear bearing pilot, J34309-8, is
used to center the pinion rear bearing only. The pinion rear bear-
ing locking seat, J34309-4, is used to lock the bearing to the
assembly.Specification

Installation of J34309-9 and J34309-16; place a suitable 2.5 mm (0.098 in) thick plain washer between
J34309-9 and J34309-16. Both surfaces of J34309-9 and J34309-16 must be parallel with a clearance of
2.5 mm (0.098 in).
3. Install the pinion rear bearing inner race into the final drive hous-
ing. Then place the pinion preload shim selector tool, J34309-1,
gauge screw assembly.
4. Assemble the pinion front bearing inner race and the J34309-2
gauge anvil. Assemble them together with the J34309-1 gauge
screw in the final drive housing. Make sure that the pinion height
gauge plate, J34309-16, will turn a full 360 degrees. Tighten the
two sections together by hand.
5. Turn the assembly several times to seat the bearings.
6. Measure the turning torque at the end of the J34309-2 gauge
anvil using torque wrench J-25765A.

7. Measure drive gear-to-drive pinion backlash with a dial indicator
at several point.

It backlash is too small, adjustment of washer thickness is required. Decrease thickness of left shim
and increase thickness of right by the same amount.
If backlash is too great, reverse the above procedure.

Never change the total amount of washers as it will change the bearing preload.
8. Check total preload with tool.
When checking preload, turn drive pinion in both directions several times to seat bearing rollers correctly.

If preload is too great, remove the same amount of washer to each side.

If preload is too small, add the same amount of washer to each side.
Never add or remove a different number of washers for each side. Difference in number of washers will
change drive gear to drive pinion backlash.
9. Recheck drive gear to drive pinion backlash. Increase or decrease in thickness of shims will cause
change to drive gear to pinion backlash.

Check whether the backlash varies excessively in different places. Foreign matter may be caught
between the drive gear and the differential case causing the trouble.

The backlash can vary greatly even when the drive gear runout is within a specified range. In that case,
replace the hypoid gear set or differential case.
10. Check runout of drive gear with a dial indicator.
11. Check tooth contact.
