8. INSTALL DIFFERENTIAL CASE SUB-ASSY NO.2
(a) Coat the front differential side gear thrust washer No.1,
front differential planetary ring gear, front differential pin-
ion No.2, front differential pinion thrust washer No.2, front
differential pinion shaft holder, front differential pinion
shaft and 2 differential pinion shafts with ATF, install them
to the differential case No.2.
(b) Using a dial indicator, measure the backlash of one pinion
gear while holding the front differential side gear toward
the case.
Standard backlash:
0.05 - 0.20 mm (0.0020 - 0.0079 in.)
NOTICE:
Do not mount the surface of front differential case which
contacts with bushing in a vise.
If the backlash is not within the specified value, refer to the table
below and select a thrust washer which will ensure that the
backlash is within the specified value.
Thrust washer thickness: mm (in.)

place an aluminum sheet between them and use a mini-
mum force.
(c) Pressing and holding the differential spider toward the dif-
ferential case RH, measure the pinion's backlash with a
dial indicator as illustrated.
Standard backlash:
0.05 - 0.20 mm (0.0020 - 0.0079 in.)
If the backlash is not within the specified value, refer to the table
below and select a thrust washer which will ensure that the
backlash is within the specified value.
Thrust washer thickness: mm (in.)

ions and 5 center differential pinion thrust washers from
the differential case RH. Put them in the differential inter-
mediate case and fix the case.
(g) Pressing and holding the differential spider toward the dif-

WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADE
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Models:

Technical Service
Information Bulletin

BO004-05
The following procedures are recommended to maintain windshield wiper
blade performance.
1998 ± 2006 model year Lexus vehicles.
OP CODEDESCRIPTIONTIMEOFPT1T2
N/ANot Applicable to Warranty±±±±
Recommendations for Windshield Wiper Maintenance, Cleaning, and Use:
1. Scheduled Maintenance
Check wiper rubber blades every 4 ± 6 months or 7,500 miles for wear, cracking,
and contamination.
Clean glass and rubber wiper blades if blades are not clearing glass adequately.
If this does not correct the problem, then replace the rubber elements.
2. Cleaning Procedure
Wiper Rubber: Bugs, dirt, sap, and road grime on blades will cause streaking.
Clean wiper rubber of road and environmental debris using cloth or paper towel
soaked with windshield washer fluid or mild detergent.
DO NOT USE fuel, kerosene, or petroleum based products to clean rubber
wiper blades.
Windshield: Bugs, sap, road grime, and car wash wax treatments decrease
wiper performance.
Rinse windshield with water and apply non±abrasive cleaner, such as Bon±Ami
(www.faultless.com), with a sponge.
NOTE:
Make sure to use plenty of water with all powder based cleaners so the glass is
not scratched.
