12. Align the matching mark of the drive pinion with the mark of the
companion flange, then install the companion flange.
13. Insert companion flange onto drive pinion. Tap the companion
flange with a soft hammer until fully seated.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage companion flange and front oil
seal.
14. Apply anti-corrosive oil to the thread and seat of drive pinion
lock nut, and temporarily tighten drive pinion lock nut and
washer to drive pinion.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse drive pinion lock nut and washer.
15. Rotate drive pinion at least 20 times to check for smooth opera-
tion of the bearing.
16. Tighten to drive pinion lock nut, while adjust pinion bearing pre-
load torque.
CAUTION:
lAdjust the lower limit of the drive pinion lock nut tighten-
ing torque first.
lIf the preload torque exceeds the specified value, replace collapsible spacer and tighten it again
to adjust. Never loosen drive pinion lock nut to adjust the preload torque.
lAfter adjustment, rotate drive pinion back and forth 2 to 3 times to check for unusual noise, rota-
tion malfunction, and other malfunctions.
17. Install differential case assembly. Refer toRFD-28, "
Differential Assembly".
CAUTION:
Do not install carrier cover yet.
18. Check and adjust backlash, tooth contact and companion flange runout. Refer toRFD-17, "

Service Notice or PrecautionEDS003AI
lCheck for the correct installation status prior to removal or disassembly. If matching marks are required,
be certain they do not interfere with the function of the parts when applied.
lOverhaul should be done in a clean work area, it is preferable to work in dust proof area.
lBefore disassembly completely remove sand and mud from the exterior of the unit, preventing them from
entering into the unit during disassembly or assembly.
lCheck appearance of the disassembled parts for damage, deformation, and unusual wear. Replace them
with a new ones if necessary.
lGaskets, seals and O-rings should be replaced any time when the unit is disassembled.
lIn principle, tighten bolts or nuts gradually in several steps working diagonally from inside to outside. If
tightening sequence is specified, observe it.
lClean and flush the parts sufficiently and blow-dry them.
lBe careful not to damage sliding surfaces and mating surfaces.
lWhen applying sealant, remove the old sealant from the mounting surface; then remove any moisture, oil,
and foreign materials from the application and mounting surfaces.
lAlways use shop paper for cleaning the inside of components.
lAvoid using cotton gloves or shop rags to prevent entering of lint.
lDuring assembly, observe the specified tightening torque, and apply new differential gear oil, petroleum
jelly, or multi-purpose grease as specified for each vehicle, if necessary.
