  4. REMOVE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL RING GEAR

    1. Mount the front differential ring gear in a vise between aluminum plates.

      Note:
      • Be careful not to damage the front differential ring gear.

      • Do not overtighten the vise.

    2. C318251C01

      *a

      Matchmark

      Put matchmarks on the front differential ring gear and front No. 1 differential case sub-assembly.

    3. C117490

      Remove the 16 bolts.

    4. Using a plastic-faced hammer, remove the front No. 1 differential case sub-assembly from the front differential ring gear.

  5. INSPECT FRONT NO. 1 DIFFERENTIAL CASE SUB-ASSEMBLY

  6. REMOVE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL PINION SHAFT STRAIGHT PIN

    1. C318871

      Using a 5 mm pin punch and hammer, remove the front differential pinion shaft straight pin from the front No. 1 differential case sub-assembly.

  7. REMOVE FRONT NO. 1 DIFFERENTIAL PINION SHAFT

    1. C318253

      Remove the front No. 1 differential pinion shaft from the front No. 1 differential case sub-assembly.

  8. INSPECT FRONT DIFFERENTIAL PINION BACKLASH

  9. REMOVE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL SIDE GEAR

    1. Set SST as shown in the illustration and tighten it.

      C318254C01

      *a

      Turn

      *b

      Hold

      09528-52010

      09528-05010

      09953-05010

      Note:

      Do not overtighten SST, as doing so will damage the front differential side gear, conical spring, front No. 1 differential side gear thrust washer and front No. 1 differential case sub-assembly.

      Tip:
      • Tighten SST until there is a clearance between the front differential pinions and front differential side gears.

      • When removing the front differential pinions, do not overtighten SST, as it is necessary to rotate the front differential side gears.

    2. C318255C01

      *a

      Turn

      Install SST as shown in the illustration, rotate the front differential side gear, and then remove the 2 front differential pinions and 2 front differential pinion thrust washers from the front No. 1 differential case sub-assembly.

      09528-52010

      09528-05030

      Note:

      Do not drop the front differential pinion and front differential pinion thrust washer.

    3. C318256C01

      *1

      Front Differential Side Gear

      *2

      Conical Spring

      *3

      Front No. 1 Differential Side Gear Thrust Washer

      Remove SST from the front No. 1 differential case sub-assembly, and then remove the 2 front differential side gears, 2 front No. 1 differential side gear thrust washers and 2 conical springs from the front No. 1 differential case sub-assembly.

      Note:

      Do not drop the front differential side gear, front No. 1 differential side gear thrust washer and conical spring.
