PROCEDURE
INSTALL FRONT DIFFERENTIAL SIDE GEAR
Coat the rotating surface of the front differential side gear with gear oil.
Install the 2 front differential side gears and 2 front differential side gear thrust washers to the front differential case.
INSTALL FRONT DIFFERENTIAL PINION
Coat the rotating surface of the front differential pinion with gear oil.
Install the 2 front differential pinion thrust washers and 2 front differential pinions to the front differential case.
Tech Tips
Install the 2 front differential pinions with the front differential washers while turning the front differential pinion.
Install the No. 1 front differential pinion shaft into the front differential case.
Using a 5 mm pin punch and hammer, install the front differential pinion shaft straight pin through the front differential case and the hole in the No. 1 front differential pinion shaft.
Using a hammer and chisel, caulk the pin holes around the circumference of the front differential case.
INSTALL FRONT DIFFERENTIAL RING GEAR
Clean the contact surfaces of the front differential case and front differential ring gear.
Heat the front differential ring gear to 90 to 110°C (194 to 230°F) in boiling water.
| *a | Matchmark |
After the moisture on the ring gear has completely evaporated, quickly align the matchmarks on the front differential ring gear and the front differential case and install the front differential ring gear to the front differential case.
Install the 16 bolts.
INSTALL FRONT DIFFERENTIAL CASE FRONT TAPERED ROLLER BEARING
Using SST and a press, press in a new front differential case front tapered roller bearing.
INSTALL FRONT DIFFERENTIAL CASE REAR TAPERED ROLLER BEARING
| *a | Press |
Using SST and a press, press in a new rear tapered roller bearing.
INSTALL FRONT DIFFERENTIAL CASE OIL SEAL
Coat the lip of a new front differential case oil seal with MP grease.
| *a | 21.5 to 22.5 mm (0.847 to 0.885 in.) |
Using SST and a hammer, tap in a new front differential case oil seal to the front differential case.
| Standard depth |
|---|
| 21.5 to 22.5 mm (0.847 to 0.885 in.) |
Note
Do not damage the front differential case oil seal lip.
