• Check for the correct installation status prior to removal or disassembly. If matching marks are required, becertain they do not interfere with the function of the parts when applied.
 Overhaul should be done in a clean work area, it is preferable to work in dustproof area.
 Before disassembly, using steam or white gasoline, completely remove sand and mud from the exterior of
the unit, preventing them from entering into the unit during disassembly or assembly.
 Check appearance of the disassembled parts for dam age, deformation, and unusual wear. Replace them
with a new ones if necessary.
 Gaskets, seals and O-rings should be replaced any time when the unit is disassembled.
 In principle, tighten bolts or nuts gradually in several steps working diagonally from inside to outside. If tight-
ening sequence is specified, observe it.
 Clean and flush the parts sufficiently and blow-dry them.
 Be careful not to damage sliding surfaces and mating surfaces.
 When applying sealant, remove the old sealant from t he mounting surface; then remove any moisture, oil,
and foreign materials from the application and mounting surfaces.
 Always use shop paper for cleaning the inside of components.
 Avoid using cotton gloves or shop rags to prevent entering of lint.
 During assembly, observe the specified tightening tor que, and apply new gear oil, petroleum jelly, or multi-
purpose grease as specified for each vehicle, if necessary.

FRONT OIL SEAL
INSTALLATION
1. Apply multi-purpose grease to front oil seal lips.
2. Using the drifts, install front oil seal as shown in figure.CAUTION:
• Never reuse oil seal.
 When installing, n ever incline oil seal.
3. Align the matching mark (B) of drive pinion with the matching mark (A) of companion flange, and then install the companion
flange (1).
