PROCEDURE
INSTALL REAR DIFFERENTIAL CARRIER ASSEMBLY
Note
Do not damage the installation surface when installing the rear differential carrier assembly.
The remaining oil may leak out when installing the rear differential carrier assembly.
Securely support the rear differential carrier assembly while performing this step to avoid excessively tilting or dropping the rear differential carrier assembly.
Install the bolts with the rear differential carrier assembly secured.
Support the rear differential carrier assembly with a transmission jack.
CAUTION:
The rear differential carrier assembly is a heavy component. Make sure that it is supported securely.
| *a | Torque Wrench Fulcrum Length |
w/o Dynamic Damper:
Install the 2 rear upper differential mount stoppers to the rear differential carrier assembly.
Temporarily install the rear differential carrier assembly to the rear suspension member sub-assembly with the 2 rear lower differential mount stoppers and 2 new bolts (A).
Using SST and a 12 mm hexagon wrench, temporarily install the rear differential carrier assembly to the rear suspension member sub-assembly with 3 new bolts (B) and (C).
Tech Tips
Before installing the bolts (B) and (C), make sure that there is no clearance between the rear differential carrier assembly and rear differential mount cushion.
Using SST and a 12 mm hexagon wrench, tighten the 3 bolts (B) and (C).
Note
Do not tilt the sleeve or deform the rubber of the mount when tightening the bolts (B) and (C).
Tech Tips
Tighten the 2 bolts (B) first.
This torque value is effective when SST is parallel to the torque wrench.
Calculate the torque wrench reading when changing the fulcrum length of the torque wrench.
When using SST (fulcrum length of 200 mm (7.87 in.)) + torque wrench (fulcrum length of 400 mm (1.31 ft.)):
68.7 N*m (701 kgf*cm, 51 ft.*lbf)
Tighten the 2 bolts (A).

This torque value is effective when SST is parallel to the torque wrench.
Calculate the torque wrench reading when changing the fulcrum length of the torque wrench.
When using SST (fulcrum length of 150 mm (5.91 in.)) + torque wrench (fulcrum length of 400 mm (1.31 ft.)):
75 N*m (765 kgf*cm, 55 ft.*lbf)
Tighten the 2 bolts (A).
