  3. Install the left side oil seal (A) even and flush with the machined edge of the rear differential carrier assembly using the oil seal driver (B). Be careful not to damage the lip of the oil seal.
  4. Remove the companion flange (see step 2 on «REAR DIFFERENTIAL DISASSEMBLY»(ref-290819-S17654778732008072200000) ).
  5. Remove the oil seal (A) from the torque control differential (TCD) case (B). NOTE: Be careful not to damage the shaft or case while prying out the oil seal.
  6. Install the oil seal (A) even and flush with the case using the oil seal driver (B). Be careful not to damage the lip of the oil seal.
  7. Install the companion flange (see step 9 on «REAR DIFFERENTIAL REASSEMBLY»(ref-290819-S40121731252008072200000) ).

  1. Remove the drain plug (A), the filler plug (B), and washers (C).
  2. Lift up the locking tab on the lock nut (A) from the groove of the clutch guide, making sure that the tab completely clears the groove to prevent damaging the clutch guide.
  3. Install the companion flange holder (A) and holder handle (B) on the companion flange.
  4. Loosen the locknut (A) counterclockwise so that its tab (B) comes out from the groove (C) in the clutch guide.
  5. Tighten the locknut (A) until its tab (B) aligns with the groove (C).
  6. Clean any dirt from inside of the groove in the clutch guide.
  7. Remove the locknut (A), the spring washer (B), the back-up ring (C), the O-ring (D), and the companion flange (E).
  8. Remove the eight mounting bolts (A) in a crisscross pattern in several steps, then remove the torque control differential (TCD) case (B) and the dowel pins (C).
  9. Remove the 30 mm shim (A) and the clutch guide (B).
  10. Remove the clutch hub/plates/discs (A) and the pressure plate (B).
  11. Remove the thrust needle bearing (A) and the oil pump driveshaft (B).
  12. Remove the oil pump body assembly (A), the oil pump pin (B), the collar (C), the magnet (D), and the fluid strainer (E).

  1. Apply Dual Pump Fluid II (P/N 08200-9007) to the rubber of the fluid strainer (A) and the collar (B) then install the fluid strainer, the magnet (C), the oil pump pin (D), and the collar in the differential carrier assembly.
  2. Align the tabs (A) of the collar (B) with the oil pump pin (C). Align the grooves (D) of the rear oil pump with the oil pump pin and collar tabs, then install the oil pump body assembly (E) on the differential carrier assembly.
  3. Tighten the oil pump body assembly mounting bolts (A).
  4. Install the oil pump driveshaft (B) by aligning the projection (C) of the oil pump driveshaft with the groove of the front oil pump in the oil pump body assembly. Then install the thrust needle bearing (D).
  5. If necessary, reassemble the differential clutch, and note these items: Install one metal clutch plate (A) and one fiber clutch disc (B) in the clutch guide (C), then install the clutch hub (D) with snap ring (E) into the clutch guide. Make sure the splines of the clutch hub and fiber clutch disc line up below the snap ring. Install the remaining metal clutch plates and fiber clutch discs alternately until you have installed a total of eleven plates and ten discs, then install the pressure plate (F). Make sure the differential clutch is assembled correctly. The pressure plate should be flush with the top of the clutch guide.
  6. Install the differential clutch assembly (A) by aligning the tabs of the pressure plate (B) with the grooves of the oil pump driveshaft (C). Be careful not to let the pressure plate fall out of the clutch guide during assembly.
  7. Remove the dirt or oil from the sealing surfaces. Apply liquid gasket (P/N 08718-0001) evenly to the sealing surface. Install the component with in 5 minutes of applying the liquid gasket. Make sure you seal the entire circumference of the bolt holes to prevent fluid leakage. NOTE: If you apply liquid gasket P/N 08718-0012, the component must be installed within 4 minutes. If too much time has passed after applying the liquid gasket, remove the old liquid gasket and residue, then reapply the new liquid gasket. Allow it to cure at least 30 minutes after assembly before filling the differential with the recommended fluid.
  8. Install the 30 mm shim (A), the dowel pins (B), and the torque control differential (TCD) case (C). Torque the eight mounting bolts in a crisscross pattern in several steps.
  9. Install the companion flange (A), a new O-ring (B), back-up ring (C), spring washer (D), and a new locknut (E). NOTE: Apply the Dual Pump Fluid II (P/N 08200-9007) to the O-ring.
  10. Install the companion flange holder (A) and holder handle (B) to the companion flange, then tighten the new locknut to the specified torque.
  11. Stake the lock nut shoulder (A) into the groove in the clutch guide.
  12. Install the drain plug (A) and the filler plug (B) with new washers (C).

  3. Install the new set rings (A) into the groove of the rear differential inboard joint..
  4. Insert the driveshafts (A) into the rear differential (B).
  5. Lift the rear differential up into position, then push on both driveshafts to lock the set rings into place. Connect the breather tube (C).
  6. Install the plates (A) and the rear differential mount assembly mounting bolts (B).
  7. Install the rear differential damper (A) (M/T model) and right and left rear differential mount brackets B.
