Side Bearing Inner Race Disassembly Note
Note. Mark or otherwise distinguish between the left and right side bearings so that they are not mixed up at the time of reassembly.

Scheme 44: Side Bearing Inner Race Disassembly Note
- Remove the side bearing inner races from the gear case using the SST and a press.
| WARNING | The engine stand is equipped with a self-lock mechanism, however, if the rear differential is in a tilted condition, the self-lock mechanism could become inoperative. If the rear differential unexpectedly rotates it could cause injury, therefore do not maintain the rear differential in a tilted condition. When turning the rear differential, grasp the rotation handle firmly. |
Note. Clean away the old sealant before applying the new sealant. Install the rear cover before the applied sealant starts to harden. Allow the sealant to set at least 30 minutes after installation before filling the differential with the specified oil.
Scheme 45
- Assemble in the order indicated in the table in the figure.
Side Bearing Inner Race Assembly Note
| CAUTION | Do not mix up the left and right side bearing inner races. |
Scheme 46
- Press the side bearing inner races into the gear case using the SSTs.
Scheme 47
Scheme 47: Thrust washer Assembly Note
- Assemble the side gears, thrust washers and pinion gears to the gear case, then assemble the knock pin.
- After assembling the knock pin, make a crimp so that the pin will not come out of the gear case.
- Set a dial gauge to the pinion gear as indicated in the figure.
- Secure one of the side gears.
- Move the pinion gear and measure the backlash at the end of the pinion gear. If the backlash exceeds the standard, use the thrust washers to adjust. Rear differential backlash of pinion gear and side gear 0.1 mm {0.004 in} or less Thrust washer thickness THICKNESS CHART Identification mark Thickness 0 2.0 mm {0.079 in} 1 2.1 mm {0.083 in} 2 2.2 mm {0.086 in} 05 2.05 mm {0.081 in} 15 2.15 mm {0.084 in}
Ring Gear Assembly Note
| CAUTION | The differential gear and ring gear could be damaged if the ring gear is installed with old thread-locking compound remaining on the bolt threads. Before installing the ring gear, completely remove the old thread-locking compound from the bolt threads. |
Scheme 48
Scheme 49
- Apply a small amount of thread-locking compound to each of points A on the back of the ring gear, and bolt thread areas B (around the entire ring). Application amount Back of ring gear: Approx. 0.4 ml {0.4 cc, 0.02 cu in} Ring gear bolt thread points: Approx. 0.4 ml {0.4 cc, 0.02 cu in} (0.04 ml {0.04 cc, 0.002 cu in} to each point)
- Align the marks placed on the ring gear case at the time of disassembly and tighten the bolts in diagonal order. Tightening torque 68.6-83.3 N.m {7.00-8.49 kgf.m, 50.6-61.4 ft.lbf}
Scheme 50
Scheme 50: Bearing Outer Race Assembly Note
- Press in the bearing outer race using the SSTs and a press.
Rear Cover Assembly Note
| CAUTION | Clean away the old sealant before applying the new sealant. Install the rear cover before the applied sealant starts to harden. Allow the sealant to set at least 30 minutes after installation before filling the differential with the specified oil. |
- Clean the alignment surface of the carrier and rear cover, and apply a thin coat of sealant.
- Install the rear cover. Tightening torque 15.7-22.6 N.m {1.6-2.3 kgf.m, 11.6-16.6 ft.lbf}
Scheme 51
Scheme 51: Oil Seal Assembly Note
- Apply differential oil to the new oil seal lip.
- Assemble the oil seal using the SSTs.
