REAR AXLE 4B-35
Disassembly
1. Remove bolt.
2. Remove ring gear.
3. Drive out lock pin using a long drift Punch.
425RS042
4. Check the amount of backlash between pinion gear on side gear before removal of cross pin.
Backlash : φ220mm : 0.13-0.18 mm (0.005-0.007 in)
φ194mm : 0.10-0.20 mm (0.004-0.008 in)
5. Remove the cross pin by using a brass drift punch and hammer.
425RS043
6. Take out pinion gear, side gear and thrust washer.
Inspection and Repair
Make necessary correction or parts replacement if
wear, damage, corrosion or any other abnormal
conditions are found through inspection.
Check the following parts:
• Ring gear, pinion gear
• Bearing
• Side gear, pinion gear, cross pin
• Differential cage, carrier
• Thrust washer
• Oil seal
Clearance between pinion gear and cross pin:

Differential cage
Check the ring gear the side gear fitting faces and the
cross pin hole for scores or roughness. Correct as
necessary. Slight scores or roughness may be
corrected with an oil stone or fine sand paper.
425R300006
Ring gear replacement:
1. The ring gear should always be replaced with the drive pinion as a set.
2. Discard use bolts and install new ones.
3.
Apply LOCTITE 271 on bolt from the end of
thread to the middle of straight portion.
4. Tighten the fixing bolts in a diagonal sequence as illustrated.

Inspection and Repair
Make all necessary adjustments, repairs, and part
replacements if wear, damage, rust or other problems
are discovered during inspection.
Visual Check
Inspect the following parts for wear, damage or other
abnormal conditions.
• Friction disc
• Friction plate
• Spring plate
1 Sliding surface
2 Protrusion
425RS056
Pressure ring
Check the parts for damage or other abnormal
conditions.
3 Sliding surface for friction disc
If dents or damages are discovered, grind them with oil stone, and repair them with compound on
surface plate.
4 Sliding surface of pressure ring inner surface and pinion gear.
5 Sliding surface of pressure ring bore and sidegear.
6 sliding surface of pressure ring and side gear.
7 Sliding surface of pressure ring and pinion shaft.
8 Mating surface to differential cage A.
9 Burrs or dents on sliding surface of pressure ringand rear differential cage should be repaired,
using oil stone.

• Thrust W asher
10 Groove on side gear circumference small burrs of
dens should be repaired, using oil stone.
11 Sliding surface between side gear and thrust washer.
425RY00024
• Differential cage A and B
12 Contact surface to spring plate
13 Differential cage A and B contact surfaces to
thrust washers Small burrs or dents should be
repair, using oil stone.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Refer to this Section to quickly diagnose and repai
r
rear axle problems.
Each troubleshooting chart has three headings
arranged from left to right.
(1) Checkpoint
(2) Trouble Cause
(3) Countermeasure
This Section is divided into five sub-sections:
1. Abnormal Rear Axle Noise 1) Noise when the engine is driving the vehicle
2) Noise when the vehicle is coasting
3) Intermittent noise
4) Noise when the vehicle is turning
5) Constant noise
2. Vibration
3. Oil Leakage 1) Differential carrier leakage
2) Axle case leakage
3) Axle case to inside hub leakage
4) Axle case to inside brake drum leakage
4. Power Not Being Transmitted to the W heels (Propeller Shaft Operation is Normal)
