The procedure listed below is for the LH side.
PROCEDURE
DRAIN DIFFERENTIAL OIL
REMOVE REAR DRIVE SHAFT ASSEMBLY
REMOVE REAR DIFFERENTIAL SIDE GEAR SHAFT OIL SEAL
| *1 | Rear Differential Side Gear Shaft Oil Seal |
Using SST, remove the rear differential side gear shaft oil seal.
INSTALL REAR DIFFERENTIAL SIDE GEAR SHAFT OIL SEAL
| *1 | Rear Differential Side Gear Shaft Oil Seal |
| *a | Oil Seal Installation Depth |
Using SST and a hammer, install a new rear differential side gear shaft oil seal.
| Oil seal installation depth |
|---|
| -0.5 to 0.5 mm (-0.0197 to 0.0196 in.) |
Note
Make sure to check the identification marks on the oil seals before installation because the part numbers differ between the left and right sides.
To ensure a proper seal, evenly tap in the rear differential side gear shaft oil seal.
When installing the oil seal, tap it in until its surface is flush with the rear differential carrier.
Make sure the difference between the maximum and minimum measured values is less than 0.85 mm (0.0335 in.), as a greater difference may lead to oil leaks.
