PROCEDURE
INSTALL DIFFERENTIAL SIDE GEAR
| *1 | Differential Case |
| *2 | Differential Side Gear |
| *3 | No. 1 Front Differential Side Gear Thrust Washer |
| *4 | Front Differential Pinion |
| *5 | Front Differential Pinion Thrust Washer |
Coat the 2 differential side gears, 2 No. 1 front differential side gear thrust washers, 2 front differential pinions and 2 front differential pinion thrust washers with ATF and install them to the differential case.
INSTALL FRONT NO. 1 DIFFERENTIAL PINION SHAFT
Coat the front No. 1 differential pinion shaft with ATF, and install it to the differential case.
INSPECT DIFFERENTIAL SIDE GEAR BACKLASH
INSTALL FRONT DIFFERENTIAL PINION SHAFT STRAIGHT PIN
Using a 5 mm pin punch and hammer, install the front differential pinion shaft straight pin.
Note
Align the holes, and install the front differential pinion shaft straight pin.
Using a chisel and hammer, stake the differential case.
Note
Stake the differential case after adjusting the backlash.
INSTALL FRONT DIFFERENTIAL RING GEAR
Using ATF and a heater, heat the front differential ring gear to 90 to 110°C (194 to 230°F).
Note
Do not heat the front differential ring gear to more than 110°C (230°F).
| *a | Matchmark |
Clean the contact surface of the differential case.
Align the matchmarks, set the front differential ring gear to the front differential case.
Install the 12 bolts.
Note
Tighten the bolts after the front differential ring gear has cooled down sufficiently.
Tighten the bolts evenly in a diagonal pattern using several steps.
