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.
| *a | Attachment |
Support the rear differential carrier assembly with 2 attachments or equivalent tools as shown in the illustration.
CAUTION:
The rear differential carrier assembly is a heavy component. Make sure that it is supported securely.
Note
Use attachments or equivalent tools to keep the rear differential carrier assembly level.
Install the 2 rear upper differential mount stoppers to the rear differential carrier assembly.
Temporarily install the rear suspension member sub-assembly 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 a 12 mm hexagon socket 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 a 12 mm hexagon socket wrench, tighten the 2 bolts (B).
Note
Do not tilt the sleeve or deform the rubber of the rear differential mount cushion when tightening the bolts (B).
Using a 12 mm hexagon socket wrench, tighten the bolt (C).
Note
Do not tilt the sleeve or deform the rubber of the rear differential mount cushion when tightening the bolt (C).
Tighten the 2 bolts (A).
