6. Take out pinion gear, side gear and thrust
washer.
Inspection and Repair
Make necessary correction or parts replacement if
wear, damage, corrosion or any other abnormal
conditions are found through inspection.
Check the following parts:


Ring gear, pinion gear


Bearing


Side gear, pinion gear, cross pin


Differential cage, carrier


Thrust washer


Oil seal
Clearance between pinion gear and cross pin:
mm(in)

Standard Limit
0.06 - 0.12

Differential cage
Check the ring gear the side gear fitting faces and the
cross pin hole for scores or roughness. Correct as
necessary. Slight scores or roughness may be
corrected with an oil stone or fine sand paper.
425R300006

Ring gear replacement:
1. The ring gear should always be replaced with the
drive pinion as a set.
2. Discard use bolts and install new ones.
3.
Apply LOCTITE 271 on bolt from the end of thread
to the middle of straight portion.
4. Tighten the fixing bolts in a diagonal sequence as
illustrated.
Torque : 108 Nm (11 kgm/80 lbft)

Inspection and Repair
Make all necessary adjustments, repairs, and part
replacements if wear, damage, rust or other problems
are discovered during inspection.

Visual Check
Inspect the following parts for wear, damage or other
abnormal conditions.


Friction disc


Friction plate


Spring plate
1 Sliding surface
2 Protrusion




425RS056

Pressure ring
Check the parts for damage or other abnormal
conditions.
3 Sliding surface for friction disc
If dents or damages are discovered, grind them
with oil stone, and repair them with compound on
surface plate.
4 Sliding surface of pressure ring inner surface and
pinion gear.
5 Slinding surface of pressure ring bore and side
gear.
6 sliding surface of pressure ring and side gear.
7 Sliding surface of pressure ring and pinion shaft.
8 Mating surface to differential cage A.
9 Burrs or dents on sliding surface of pressure ring
and rear differential cage should be repaired,
using oil stone.

425RY00022



Thrust Washer
10 Groove on side gear circumference small burrs of
dens should be repaired, using oil stone.
11 Sliding surface between side gear and thrust
washer.
425RY00024



Differential cage A and B
12 Contact surface to spring plate
13 Differential cage A and B contact surfaces to
thrust washers Small burrs or dents should be
repair, using oil stone.

2. Measuring dimension between thrust washers at
both ends.
Assemble side gear, pinion, pinion shaft pressure
ring and thrust washer.

Eliminate clearance by pushing pressure ring
against the pinion shaft in axial direction.


Eliminate backlash by connecting side gear to
the pinion.


Measure dimension between thrust washers at
both ends. (H)




425RS067

3. After each dimension is measured, perform
adjustment with the following procedure.
Adjust so that ((F-B) + G-H) = 0.05 to 0.2 mm
(0.002 to 0.008 in). Also, select a proper thrust
washer so that the dimension difference from
back face of the pressure ring to thrust washer
(left/right side) does not exceed 0.05 mm (0.002
in).
Thickness : 1.5, 1.6, 1.7 mm (0.059, 0.063,
0.067 in)

Note :
When reassembling, sufficiently apply gear oil on
every part, especially on sliding surface.
1. Install thrust washer in differential cage A and
B.
2. Assemble spring plate, friction plate and
friction disc as following illustration.





Install spring plate with dished side turned
to the differential cage side.

2. Spring Plate
3. Friction Disc

4. Install pressure ring and side gear.


Fit two side gears in two pressure rings, one
from under a ring and the other from above a
ring.


Fit two pairs of a friction disc and a friction
plate under it on and under these two pressure
rings.
5. Set pinion and pinion shaft on differential cage A
assembly.
6. Assemble differential cage A and B.
7. Align the setting marks on differential cage A and
B and tighten screws in diagonal order evenly.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Refer to this Section to quickly diagnose and repair
rear axle problems.
Each troubleshooting chart has three headings
arranged from left to right.

(2) Trouble Cause
(3) Countermeasure
This Section is divided into five sub-sections:
1. Abnormal Rear Axle Noise
1) Noise when the engine is driving the vehicle
2) Noise when the vehicle is coasting
3) Intermittent noise
4) Noise when the vehicle is turning
5) Constant noise
2. Vibration
3. Oil Leakage
1) Differential carrier leakage
2) Axle case leakage
3) Axle case to inside hub leakage
4) Axle case to inside brake drum leakage
4. Power Not Being Transmitted to the Wheels
(Propeller Shaft Operation is Normal)
