7. Align the matching mark of differential case with the mark of drive gear, then place drive gear.
8. Apply thread locking sealant into the thread hole of drive gear. Use Genuine High Strength Thread Locking Sealant or
equivalent. Refer to GI-44
.
CAUTION:
Drive gear back and threaded holes shall be cleaned and
degreased sufficiently.
9. Install drive gear on the mounting bolts, and then tighten to the specified torque. Refer to "COMPONENTS".
CAUTION:
Tighten bolts in a crisscross fashion.
After tightening the bolts to the specified torque, tighten
the bolts additionally by turning the bolts 31 to 36
degrees.
10. Press side bearing inner races to differential case, using the drift and the base.
CAUTION:
Never reuse side bearing inner race.
11. Install differential case assembly with side bearing outer races into gear carrier.
12. Measure side bearing preload. If necessary, select the appropri- ate side bearing adjusting washers. Refer to "Side Bearing Pre-
load".

onto the circumference of oil seal.
17. Check and adjust drive gear runout, tooth contact, drive gear to drive pinion backlash, and total preload torque. Refer to "Drive
Gear Runout", "Tooth Contact", "Backlash", "Total Preload Torque".
Recheck above items. Readjust the above description, if necessary.
18. Apply sealant to mating surface of rear cover. Use Genuine Silicone RTV or equivalent. Refer to GI-44

• When installing rubber bushings, final tightening must be carried out under unladen conditions with tires on
level ground. Oil will shorten the life of rubber bushings. Be sure to wipe off any spilled oil.
Unladen conditions means that fuel, engine coolant and lubricant are full. Spare tire, jack, hand tools and
mats are in designated positions.
After servicing suspension parts, be sure to check wheel alignment.
Caulking nuts are not reusable. Always use new ones w hen installing. Since new caulking nuts are pre-oiled,
tighten as they are.
