PROCEDURE
INSTALL FRONT DIFFERENTIAL SIDE GEAR
| *1 | Front Differential Side Gear |
| *2 | Center Differential Side Gear Conical Spring Washer |
| *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 center differential side gear conical spring washer with gear oil.
| *1 | Front Differential Side Gear |
| *2 | Center Differential Side Gear Conical Spring Washer |
| *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 center differential side gear conical spring washers to the front differential case.
Note
Do not drop the front differential side gear, front No. 1 differential side gear thrust washer and center differential side gear conical spring washer.
Make sure that the center differential side gear conical spring washer is installed in the correct direction.
Set 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 gear, center differential side gear conical spring washer, front No.1 differential side gear thrust washer and front differential case.
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.
|
Gear Oil |
Coat the front differential pinion and front differential pinion thrust washer with 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.
Note
Do not drop the front differential pinion or front differential pinion thrust washer.
INSPECT FRONT DIFFERENTIAL PINION BACKLASH
INSTALL FRONT NO. 1 DIFFERENTIAL PINION SHAFT
|
Gear Oil |
Coat a front No. 1 differential pinion shaft with gear oil.
Install the front No. 1 differential pinion shaft to the front differential case so that the hole for the front differential pinion shaft straight pin is aligned with the hole in the front differential case.
INSPECT FRONT DIFFERENTIAL CASE
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.
Using a chisel and hammer, stake the front differential case.
INSTALL FRONT DIFFERENTIAL RING GEAR
Clean the contact surfaces of the front differential case and front differential ring gear.
Using a heater, heat the front differential ring gear to 90 to 100°C (194 to 212°F).
| *a | Matchmark |
After the moisture on the front differential ring gear has completely evaporated, quickly align the matchmarks on the front differential ring gear and front differential case and install the front differential ring gear to the front differential case.
Install the 12 bolts.
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.
