10. Apply anti-corrosive oil to the threads of the drive pinion and the
seating surface of the new drive pinion lock nut. Then adjust the
drive pinion lock nut tightening torque using suitable tool (A),
and check the drive pinion bearing preload torque using Tool
(B).
CAUTION:
Do not reuse drive pinion lock nut.
Apply anti-corrosive oil to th e threads of the drive pinion
and the seating surface of the new drive pinion lock nut.
Adjust the drive pinion lock nut tightening torque to the lower limit first. Do not exceed the drive pinion lock nut
specified torque.
If the drive pinion bearing preload torque exceeds the specified value, replace collap sible spacer and tighten it
again to adjust. Do not lo osen drive pinion lock nut to
adjust the drive pinion bearing preload torque.
After adjustment, rotate dri ve pinion back and forth 2 to 3
times to check for unusual no ise, rotation malfunction,
and other malfunctions.
11. Check companion flange runout.
12. Install the differential case assembly.
Differential Assembly
1. Install side gear thrust washers with the same thickness as the ones installed prior to disassembly, or reinstall the old ones on
the side gears.
2. Install the side gears and side gear thrust washers into the dif- ferential case.
CAUTION:
Make sure that the circular clip is installed to side gears.
3. Install the pinion mate thrust washers to the two pinion mate gears. Then install the pinion mate gears with the pinion mate
thrust washers by aligning them in diagonally opposite positions
and rotating them into the differential case.Tool number B: ST3127S000 (J-25765-A)

5. Measure the side gear end play. If necessary, select the appro- priate side gear thrust washers. Refer to DLN-270, "Inspection
and Adjustment".
6. Drive a new lock pin into the pinion mate shaft until it is flush with the differential case using suitable tool.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse lock pin.
7. Align the matching mark of the differential case with the mark of the drive gear, then place the drive gear onto the differential
case.
8. Apply thread locking sealant into the threaded holes of the drive gear and install the bolts.
Use Genuine Medium Strength Thread Locking Sealant orequivalent. Refer to GI-15, "Recommended Chemical Prod-
ucts and Sealants".
CAUTION:
Make sure the drive gear b ack and threaded holes are
clean.
9. Tighten the drive gear bolts to the specified torque. After tighten- ing the drive gear bolts to the specified torque, tighten an addi-
tional 34 ° using Tool (A).
CAUTION:
Always use Tool. Avoid tighte ning based on visual check
alone.
Tighten drive gear bolts in a crisscross pattern.
