DRAINING
1. Stop engine.
2. Remove drain plug and drain gear oil.
3. Apply sealant to drain plug. Install drain plug to final drive
assembly and tighten to the specified torque. Refer toRFD-82,
"COMPONENTS".
FILLING
1. Remove filler plug. Fill with new gear oil until oil level reaches
the specified limit near filler plug hole.
2. After refilling oil, check oil level. Apply sealant to filler plug.
Install filler plug to final drive assembly and tighten to the speci-
fied torque. Refer toRFD-82, "
COMPONENTS".

OIL LEAKAGE AND OIL LEVEL
1. Make sure that gear oil is not leaking from final drive assembly or around it.
2. Check oil level from filler plug hole as shown.
CAUTION:
Do not start engine while checking oil level.
3. Apply sealant to filler plug. Install filler plug to final drive assem-
bly and tighten to the specified torque. Refer toRFD-82, "

4. Rotate the drive pinion using Tool. Rotating torque should be
equal to the reading recorded in step 4 above during removal
plus an additional 0.56 N·m (5 in-lb).
5. If the rotating torque is low, continue to tighten the drive pinion
lock nut in 6.8 N·m (5 ft-lb) increments without overtightening.
Refer toRFD-82, "
COMPONENTS". Tighten until proper rotat-
ingtorqueisachieved.
CAUTION:
lDo not loosen the drive pinion lock nut to decrease drive
pinion rear bearing rotating torque.
lDo not exceed specified rotating preload torque. If preload torque or rotating torque is exceeded
a new collapsible spacer must be installed.
lDo not exceed maximum tightening torque. If maximum tightening torque is reached prior to
reaching the required rotating torque, the collapsible spacer may have been damaged. Replace
the collapsible spacer.
6. Check the gear oil level. Refer toRFD-40, "
Checking Differential Gear Oil".
7. Install the remaining components in the reverse order of removal.Tool number : ST3127S000
