FRONT FINAL DRIVE
Backlash
1. Fit a dial indicator to the drive gear face to measure the back-
lash.
 If the backlash is outside of t he specification, adjust each side
bearing adjuster.
CAUTION:
Do not change the side bearing adjusters by different
amounts as it will change the side bearing preload torque.
Companion Flange Runout
1. Rotate companion flange and check for runout on the compan-
ion flange face (inner side of the bolt holes) and companion
flange inner side (socket diameter) using suitable tool.
2. If the runout is outside the runout limit, follow the procedure below to adjust.
a. Rotate the companion flange on the drive pinion by 90 °, 180 ° and 270 ° while checking for the position
where the runout is minimum.
b. If the runout is still outside of the runout limit af ter the companion flange has been rotated on the drive pin-
ion, possible cause could be an assembly malfunction of drive pinion and drive pinion bearing or a mal-
functioning drive pinion bearing.
c. If the runout is still outside of the runout limit after repair of the assembly of drive pinion and drive pinion
bearing or drive pinion bearing, replace the companion flange.
DISASSEMBLY
Differential Assembly
1. Drain the differential gear oil if necessary. Backlash : Refer to
DLN-234, "Inspection and Ad-
justment"

If the backlash is greater than specification:
Loosen side bearing adjuster A and tighten side bear-
ing adjuster B by the same amount.
If the backlash is less than specification: Loosen side bearing adjuster B and tighten side bear-
ing adjuster A by the same amount.

minimum.
b. If the runout is still outside of the runout limit after the companion
flange has been rotated on the drive pinion, possible c ause could be an assembly malfunction of drive pin-
ion and drive pinion bearing or a malfunctioning drive pinion bearing.
c. If the runout is still outside of t he runout limit after repair of the assembly of drive pinion and drive pinion
bearing or drive pinion bearing, replace the companion flange.

PRECAUTIONS
5. When the repair work is completed, return the ignition switch to the ″LOCK ″ position before connecting
the battery cables. (At this time, the steering lock mechanism will engage.)
6. Perform a self-diagnosis check of a ll control units using CONSULT-III.
Precaution for Drain Engine CoolantINFOID:0000000005885850
Drain engine coolant when engine is cooled.
Precaution for Disconnecting Fuel PipingINFOID:0000000005885851
• Before starting work, make sure no fire or spark producing items are in the work area.
• Release fuel pressure before disconnecting and disassembly.
• After disconnecting pipes, plug openings to stop fuel leakage.
Precaution for Removal and DisassemblyINFOID:0000000005885852
• When instructed to use special service tools, use the s pecified tools. Always be careful to work safely, avoid
forceful or uninstructed operations.
• Exercise maximum care to avoid damage to mating or sliding surfaces.
• Cover openings of engine system with tape or the equivalent, if necessary, to seal out foreign materials.
• Mark and arrange disassembly parts in an organi zed way for easy troubleshooting and assembly.
• When loosening nuts and bolts, as a basic rule, start with the one furthest outside, then the one diagonally opposite, and so on. If the order of loosening is specified, do exactly as specified. Power tools may be used
where noted in the step.
Precaution for Inspection, Repair and ReplacementINFOID:0000000005885853
Before repairing or replacing, thoroughly inspect parts. Inspect new replacement parts in the same way, and
replace if necessary.
Precaution for Assembly and InstallationINFOID:0000000005885854
• Use torque wrench to tighten bolts or nuts to specification.
• When tightening nuts and bolts, as a basic rule, equally tighten in several different steps starting with theones in center, then ones on inside and outside diagonally in this order. If the order of tightening is specified,
do exactly as specified.
• Replace with new gasket, packing, oil seal or O-ring.
• Thoroughly wash, clean, and air-blow each part. Carefully check engine oil or engine coolant passages for any restriction and blockage.
• Avoid damaging sliding or mating surfaces. Completely remove foreign materials such as cloth lint or dust. Before assembly, oil sliding surfaces well.
• Release air within route when refilling after draining engine coolant.
• Before starting engine, apply fuel pressure to fuel lines with turning ignition switch ON (with engine stopped). Then make sure that there are no leaks at fuel line connections.
• After repairing, start engine and increase engine s peed to check engine coolant, fuel, oil, and exhaust sys-
tems for leakage.
Parts Requiring Angular TighteningINFOID:0000000005885855
• For final tightening of the following engine parts use Tool:
- Cylinder head bolts
- Main bearing cap bolts
- Connecting rod cap bolts
- Crankshaft pulley bolt (No angle wrench is required as the bolt flange is provided with notches for angle tightening)
• Do not use a torque value for final tightening.
• The torque value for these parts are for a preliminary step.
• Ensure thread and seat surfaces are clean and lightly coated with engine oil. Tool number : KV10112100 (BT-8653-A)
