Reassembly
Judging from faulty conditions noted before disassembly
and what is found through visual check of bearing and
gear tooth etc. after disassembly, prepare replacing
parts and proceed to reassembly according to
procedures as described in the following.
CAUTION!
• Bevel gear and pinion must be replaced as
a set when either replacement becomes
necessary.
• When replacing taper roller bearing,
replace as inner race & outer race
assembly.

1) Press-fit bevel pinion bearing outer races to
differential carrier (1) by using special tools and
hydraulic press as shown in the figure.
Special tool

Rear Differential InspectionS6RW0D3206015
• Check companion flange for wear or damage.
• Check bearings for wear or discoloration.
• Check differential carrier for cracks.
• Check drive bevel pinion and bevel gear for wear or
cracks.
• Check side gears, pinion gears and pinion shaft for
wear or damage.
• Check side gear spline for wear or damage.

Driveline / Axle
Transfer
General Description
Transfer DescriptionS6RW0D3301001
The transfer is mounted on transaxle case by fastening bolt with reduction drive gear in transfer and differential case in
transaxle coupled by involute spline. Driving force from transaxle is transmitted to propeller shaft through reduction
drive gear, reduction driven gear and bevel gear of transfer. As bevel gears, which change the direction of driving
torque axis to the direction of the angle with 90 degrees, hypoid gears are provided. Hypoid gears have an advantage
of preventing gear noise, at the same time, they require accurate adjustment of tooth contact and backlash.
