FRONT OIL SEAL
8. Remove the front oil seal using Tool as shown.
INSTALLATION
1. Apply multi-purpose grease to the lips of the new front oil seal.
Then drive the new front oil seal in evenly to the gear carrier
using Tool.
CAUTION:
 Do not reuse front oil seal.
 Do not incline the new fron t oil seal when installing.
 Apply multi-purpose grease to the lips of the new front oil seal.
2. Install the companion flange to the drive pinion while aligning the matching marks.
3. 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 total preload torque using Tool B.
 The total preload torque should be within the total preload
torque specification. When not replacing the collapsible
spacer, it should also be equal to the measurement taken dur-
ing removal plus an additional 0.56 N·m (0.06 Kg-m, 5 in-lb).
 If the total preload torque is low, tighten the drive pinion lock nut in 6.8 N·m (0.69 Kg-m, 5ft-lb) increments until the total pre-
load torque is met.
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. Refer to DLN-217, "Disassembly and
Assembly".
 Do not loosen drive pinion lock nut to adjust the total preload torque. If the drive pinion lock nut
torque or the total preload torque exceeds the sp ecifications, replace the collapsible spacer and
tighten it again to adjust. Refer to DLN-217, "Disassembly and Assembly"
.
 After adjustment, rotate drive pinion back and fo rth 2 to 3 times to check for unusual noise, rota-
tion malfunction, and other malfunctions.
4. Installation of the remaining components is in the reverse order of removal. CAUTION:Tool number : SP8P

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. Refer to DLN-217, "Disassembly and
Assembly".
 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 drive pinion back and fo rth 2 to 3 times to check for unusual noise, rota-
tion 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.
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)

FRONT OIL SEAL
1. Apply multi-purpose grease to the lips of the new front oil seal.
Then drive the new front oil seal in evenly until it becomes flush
with the gear carrier using Tool.
CAUTION:
 Do not reuse front oil seal.
 Do not incline the new fron t oil seal when installing.
 Apply multi-purpose grease to the lips of the new front oil
seal.
2. Install the companion flange to the drive pinion while aligning the matching marks.
3. 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 total preload torque using Tool (B).
 The total preload torque should be within the total preloadtorque specification. When not replacing the collapsible

 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. Refer to DLN-253, "Disassembly and
Assembly".
 Do not loosen drive pinion lock nu t to adjust the total preload torque. If the total preload torque
exceeds the specifications, replace the collapsible sp acer and tighten it again to adjust. Refer to
DLN-253, "Disassembly and Assembly"
.
 After adjustment, rotate drive pinion back and fo rth 2 to 3 times to check for unusual noise, rota-
tion malfunction, and other malfunctions.
4. Installation of the remaining components is in the reverse order of removal. CAUTION:
Check the differential gear oil level after installation. Refer to DLN-244, "Checking Differential Gear
Oil".

1. Apply differential gear oil to the side bearings, and install the dif- ferential case assembly with the side bearing outer races into
the gear carrier.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse side bearing ou ter race when replacing side
bearing inner race (replace as a set).
2. Insert the left and right original side bearing adjusting washers in place between side bearings and gear carrier.
3. Align the matching mark on the side bearing cap with the match- ing mark on the gear carrier.
4. Install the side bearing caps and tighten the side bearing cap bolts to the specified torque.
5. Turn the differential assembly several times to seat the side bearings.
6. To determine side bearing preload torque, measure the pulling force of the differential assemb ly at the drive gear bolt using
Tool.
NOTE:
If pulling force of the differential assembly at the drive gear bolt
is within specification, side bearing preload torque will also be
within specification. Refer to DLN-270, "Inspection and Adjustment"
.
