PROCEDURE
INSPECT FRONT DIFFERENTIAL SIDE GEAR
| *1 | Front Differential Side Gear |
| *2 | Conical Spring |
| *3 | Front No. 1 Differential Side Gear Thrust Washer |
|
Gear Oil |
Coat the front differential side gear, front No. 1 differential side gear thrust washer and conical spring with gear oil.
| *1 | Front Differential Side Gear |
| *2 | Conical Spring |
| *3 | Front No. 1 Differential Side Gear Thrust Washer |
Install the 2 front differential side gears, 2 front No. 1 differential side gear thrust washers and 2 conical springs to the front differential case assembly with ring gear.
Note
Do not drop the front differential side gear, front No. 1 differential side gear thrust washer or conical spring.
Make sure that the conical spring is installed with the correct orientation.
Install SST as shown in the illustration and tighten it.
| *a | Turn | *b | Hold |
Note
Do not overtighten SST as doing so will damage the front differential side gears, conical springs, front No. 1 differential side gear thrust washers and front differential case assembly with ring gear.
Tech Tips
Tighten SST to create the necessary clearance to install the front differential pinions.
When installing the front differential pinions, do not overtighten SST, as it is necessary to rotate the front differential side gears.
Coat the front differential pinion thrust washer with gear oil.
|
Gear Oil |
Coat the front differential pinion with gear oil.
|
Gear Oil |
| *a | Turn |
Using SST as shown in the illustration, rotate the front differential side gear and install the 2 front differential pinions and 2 front differential pinion thrust washers.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to catch your fingers between the front differential pinion and front differential case assembly with ring gear.
Note
Do not drop the front differential pinion and front differential pinion thrust washer.
Remove SST from the front differential case assembly with ring gear.
INSPECT FRONT DIFFERENTIAL PINION BACKLASH
INSTALL FRONT NO. 1 DIFFERENTIAL PINION SHAFT
Coat the front No. 1 differential pinion shaft with gear oil.
|
Gear Oil |
Install the front No. 1 differential pinion shaft to the front differential case assembly with ring gear so that the hole for the front differential pinion shaft straight pin is aligned with the hole in the front differential case assembly with ring gear.
INSPECT FRONT DIFFERENTIAL CASE ASSEMBLY WITH RING GEAR
INSTALL FRONT DIFFERENTIAL PINION SHAFT STRAIGHT PIN
Using a 5 mm pin punch and hammer, install the front differential pinion shaft straight pin to the front differential case assembly with ring gear.
Using a chisel and hammer, stake the front differential case assembly with ring gear.
