INSTALLATION
1) Clean drive shaft oil seal and then apply lithium grease.
ªAº: Grease 99000-25010
Check oil seal for breakage or deterioration.
Replace it as necessary.
2) Drive in drive shaft bearing with special tool (A) (on left hand
side).
Special Tool
(A): 09913-75520
3) Install circlip.
4) Drive in oil seal with special tools (B) and (C).
Special Tool
(B): 09951-16090
(C): 09924-74510
NOTE:
As depth to which oil seal should be driven into axle hous-
ing is different between the left and right, be sure to check
stamped marks on special tool (B) and drive each oil seal to
corresponding mark.
5) Install left drive shaft.
6) Install left side strut. Refer to steps 1) to 2) of item STRUT
DUMPER INSTALLATION in Section 3D.
7) Install drive shaft assembly.
Refer to DRIVE SHAFT INSTALLATION in this section.

DIFFERENTIAL (FRONT) 7E-1
The differential assembly using a hypoid bevel pinion
and gear is installed to the front axle.
4WD control system controls drive force to be trans-
mitted to front axles or not. The reduction ratio varies
depending on transmission or engine type.The differential assembly is decisive in that the drive
power is concentrated there. Therefore, use of genu-
ine parts and specified torque is compulsory. Further,
because of sliding tooth meshing with high pressure
between bevel pinion and gear, it is mandatory to lu-
bricate them by hypoid gear oil.
