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 Servicing Front Final DriveINFOID:0000000005148912
• Before starting diagnosis of the vehicle, understand the symptoms well. Perform correct and systematic
operations.
• Check for the correct installation status prior to re moval or disassembly. When matching marks are required,
be certain they do not interfere with the function of the parts they are applied to.
• Overhaul should be done in a clean work area, a dust proof area is recommended.
• Before disassembly, completely remove sand and mud from the exterior of the unit, preventing them from
entering into the unit during disassembly or assembly.
• Always use shop paper for cleaning the inside of components.
• Avoid using cotton gloves or a shop cloth to prevent the entering of lint.
• Check appearance of the disassembled parts for dam age, deformation, and abnormal wear. Replace them
with new ones if necessary.
• Gaskets, seals and O-rings should be replaced any time the unit is disassembled.
• Clean and flush the parts sufficiently and blow them dry.
• Be careful not to damage sliding surfaces and mating surfaces.
• When applying sealant, remove the old sealant from the mating surface; then remove any moisture, oil, and
foreign materials from the application and mating surfaces.
• In principle, tighten nuts or bolts gradually in severa l steps working diagonally from inside to outside. If a
tightening sequence is specified, observe it.
• During assembly, observe the specified tightening torque.
• Add new differential gear oil, petroleum jelly, or multi-purpose grease, as specified.

DIFFERENTIAL GEAR OIL LEAKAGE AND LEVEL
1. Make sure that differential gear oil is not leaking from the front final drive assembly or around it.
2. Check the differential gear oil level from the filler plug hole as
shown.
CAUTION:
Do not start engine while checki ng differential gear oil level.
3. Install the filler plug with sealant applied on the threads to the front final drive assembly. Tighten to the specified torque. Refer
to DLN-217, "

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 front oil seal when installing.
• Apply multi-purpose grease to the lips of the new front oilseal.
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 the 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 nu t 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
