   • Apply hypoid gear oil LSD to drive pinion thread and seat face.

5. 

   Using a torque wrench, measure the preload.

   Standard Preload (at Starting)
   Item Specified Condition New bearing 0.68 to 2.03 N*m (6.94 to 20.7 kgf*cm, 6.02 to 17.9 in.*lbf) Used bearing 0.73 to 1.83 N*m (7.45 to 18.6 kgf*cm, 6.46 to 16.1 in.*lbf)

   Note:

   For a more accurate measurement, rotate the bearing forward and backward several times before measuring.

INSTALL DIFFERENTIAL CASE ASSEMBLY

1. Place the 2 bearing outer races on their respective bearings.

   Tip:

   Do not interchange the right and left races.

ADJUST SIDE BEARING PRELOAD

1. Remove the ring gear teeth side plate washer and, using a micrometer, measure the thickness.

2. Using the backlash as a reference, select a new washer that is 0.05 to 0.20 mm (0.00197 to 0.00787 in.) thicker than the removed washer and, using a plastic-faced hammer, tap it in so that it fits against the bearing.

   Tip:

   Select a washer which can be pressed in 2/3 of the full amount with your finger.

3. 

   Recheck the ring gear backlash.

   Standard backlash
   0.10 to 0.20 mm (0.00394 to 0.00788 in.)

   If the backlash is not within the specification, adjust it by either increasing or decreasing the thickness of the washers on both sides by an equal amount.

   Tip:

   An approximately 0.02 mm (0.000787 in.) change in each plate washer results in a 0.03 mm (0.00118 in.) change in the backlash.

INSPECT DRIVE PINION PRELOAD

1. Using a torque wrench, measure the preload of the backlash between the drive pinion and ring gear.

   Standard Preload (at Starting)
   Item Specified Condition New bearing 0.83 to 2.18 N*m (8.64 to 22.2 kgf*cm, 7.35 to 19.3 in.*lbf) Used bearing 0.88 to 1.98 N*m (8.97 to 20.2 kgf*cm, 7.79 to 17.5 in.*lbf)

   
   

   • If the result not as specified, replace the bearing spacer.

   
   

   • If the preload is less than the minimum, retighten the nut with 13 N*m (130 kgf*cm, 9 ft.*lbf) of torque at a time until the specified preload is reached.
