Bearings

Make sure bearings roll freely and are free from noise, cracks,
pitting or wear.

When replacing taper roller bearing, replace outer and inner
race as a set.
ASSEMBLY
1. Attach side gear thrust washers to side gears, then install pinion
mate thrust washers and pinion mate gears in place.
CAUTION:
Apply ATF to any parts.
2. Insert pinion mate shaft.
CAUTION:
When inserting, be careful not to damage pinion mate
thrust washers.
3. Measure the clearance between side gear and differential case
with washers following the procedure below:
a. Set the special tool and dial indicator on side gear.

b. Move side gear up and down to measure dial indicator deflec-
tion. Always measure indicator deflection on both side gears.
c. If not within specification, adjust the clearance by changing the
thickness of differential side gear thrust washers. Refer to AT-
535, "Final Drive" .
4. Install lock pin.
CAUTION:

Do not reuse lock pin.

Make sure that lock pin is flush with case.
5. Press on differential side bearings.
CAUTION:
Apply ATF to differential side bearings.
6. Install differential side bearing outer race and differential side
bearing adjusting shim on transaxle case. Refer to AT- 5 0 8 ,
"Adjustment (1)" .
7. Tighten final gear and tighten fixing bolts to the specified torque
in numerical order shown in the figure after temporarily tighten-
ing them. Refer to AT- 5 0 3 , "
COMPONENTS" . Clearance between side gear and differential case
with washer:
