23. INSTALL REAR DRIVE PINION COMPANION FLANGE
SUB-ASSEMBLY
(a) Using SST, install the companion flange to the drive
pinion.
SST 09950-30012 (09951-03010, 09953-03010,
09954-03010, 09955-03030, 09956-03020)
(b) Coat the threads of a new nut with hypoid gear oil
LSD.
(c) Using SST to hold the flange, torque the nut.
SST 09330-00021
Torque: 108 N*m (1,100 kgf*cm, 80 ft.*lbf)
24. INSPECT DIFFERENTIAL DRIVE PINION PRELOAD
(a) Using a torque wrench, measure the preload of the
drive pinon.
Torque: New bearing
1.1 to 1.7 N*m (11 to 17 kgf*cm, 9.6 to
14.8 in.*lbf)
Reused bearing
0.6 to 0.9 N*m (6 to 9 kgf*cm, 5.2 to 7.8
in.*lbf)
• If the preload is greater than the specification,
replace the bearing spacer.
• If the preload is less than the specification,
replace the nut with 13 N*m (130 kgf*cm, 9 ft.*lbf)
of torque at a time until the specified preload is
reached.
Torque: 235 N*m (2,400 kgf*cm, 174 ft.*lbf)
• If the torque exceeds the maximum while
retightening the nut, replace the bearing spacer
and repeat the preload adjusting procedure.
NOTICE:
Do not loosen the pinion nut to reduce the
preload.
HINT:
This preload is within the backlash between the
drive pinion and ring gear.

25. INSPECT TOTAL PRELOAD
(a) Using a torque wrench, measure the preload.
Torque: Total preload
0.3 to 0.5 N*m (3 to 5 kgf*cm, 2.6 to 4.3
in.*lbf)
26. INSPECT DIFFERENTIAL RING GEAR BACKLASH
(a) Using a dial gauge, check the backlash of the ring
gear.
Backlash:
0.13 to 0.18 mm (0.0051 to 0.0071 in.)
If the backlash is not within the specification, adjust
the side bearing preload or repair as necessary.
27. INSPECT REAR DRIVE PINION COMPANION
FLANGE SUB-ASSEMBLY
(a) Using a dial gauge, measure the runout of the
companion flange vertically.
Maximum runout:
0.10 mm (0.0039 in.)
28. INSTALL REAR DRIVE PINION NUT
(a) Using a chisel and hammer, stake the drive pinion
nut.
29. INSTALL REAR DIFFERENTIAL SIDE GEAR SHAFT
SEAL OIL
(a) Using SST and a hammer, install 2 new oil seals.
SST 09550-00032, 09950-70010 (09951-07200)
Oil seal drive in depth:
0 +- 0.5 mm (0 +- 0.019 in.)
(b) Apply MP grease to the oil seal lip.
30. INSTALL REAR DIFFERENTIAL SIDE GEAR SHAFT
DUST COVER
(a) Using a steel plate and a press, install a new dust
cover.
NOTICE:
Be careful not to damage the dust cover.

31. INSTALL REAR DIFFERENTIAL SIDE GEAR SHAFT
SUB-ASSEMBLY
(a) Install the 2 side gear shaft to the differential case.
(b) Using needle nose pliers, install 2 new snap rings to
the 2 side gear shafts.
(c) Using vernier calipers, measure the distance
between the right and left side gear shafts, as
shown in the illustration.
Standard distance:
242 mm (9.528 in.)
32. INSTALL REAR DIFFERENTIAL CARRIER COVER
(a) Install the oil deflector and bolt to the carrier cover.
Torque: 7.4 N*m (75 kgf*cm, 65 in.*lbf)
(b) Install the breather plug to the carrier cover.
Torque: 21 N*m (210 kgf*cm, 15 ft.*lbf)
(c) Clean contacting surfaces of any residual FIPG
material using gasoline or alcohol.
(d) Apply FIPG to the carrier.
FIPG:
Toyota Genuine Seal Packing 1281, Three
Bond 1281 or equivalent
HINT:
• FIPG should be applied 2 to 3 mm (0.08 to 0.12
in.) in diameter with no break.
• Allow for an overlap of 10 mm (0.37 in.) or more
between the start and end of FIPG application.
• Install the carrier cover within 3 minutes after
applying FIPG.
• Do not add oil or drive the vehicle immediately
after installing the cover, and leave it as is for at
least an hour or more. Also, for 12 hours or more,
avoid rapid acceleration/deceleration.

DIFFERENTIAL OIL
ADJUSTMENT
1. INSPECT DIFFERENTIAL OIL
(a) Stop the vehicle on the level place.
(b) Remove the differential filler plug and gasket.
(c) Check that the oil surface is within 5 mm (0.20 in.)
from the lowest position of the inner surface of the
differential filler plug opening.
NOTICE:
• Excessively large or small amount of oil may
cause troubles.
• After replacing oil, drive the vehicle and
check the oil level.
(d) Check for oil leakage when the oil level is low.
(e) Install the differential filler plug and a new gasket.
Torque: 49 N*m (500 kgf*cm, 36 ft.*lbf)
