17) Tighten the bolt of lock plate to specified
torque.
Tightening torque:
25 N·m (2.5 kgf-m, 18.1 ft-lb)
18) Recheck the hypoid driven gear to pinion back-
lash.
Backlash:
0.10 — 0.15 mm (0.0039 — 0.0059 in)
19) Checking and adjusting the tooth contact of hy-
poid driven gear
(1) Apply an even coat of red lead on both sides
of three or four teeth on the hypoid driven gear.
Check the contact pattern after rotating the hy-
poid driven gear several revolutions back and
forth until a definite contact pattern appears on
the hypoid driven gear.
(2) When the contact pattern is not correct, re-
adjust.
NOTE:
Be sure to wipe off the red lead completely after the
adjustment is completed.
•Correct tooth contact
Check item: Tooth contact pattern is slightly
shifted towards the toe side under no-load rota-
tion. (When driving it will move toward the heel
side.)
•Face contact
Check item: Backlash is too large.
Contact pattern
Corrective action: Increase thickness of drive pin-
ion height adjusting washer in order to bring drive
pinion close to hypoid driven gear.

•Flank contact
Check item: Backlash is too small.

20) If proper tooth contact is not obtained, once
again adjust the drive pinion height and the differ-
ential side bearing preload (already mentioned)
and the hypoid gear backlash.
21) Attach a new gasket, rear cover, and ground
stay to the differential carrier.
Tightening torque:
34 N·m (3.5 kgf-m, 25.1 ft-lb)
22) Using new gaskets, install the rear differential
