      *a for LH Side
      *b for RH Side
      *1 Differential
      *2 Seal

      Using SST and a hammer, tap in 2 new oil seals.

      SST
      09554-47010
      09950-70010   ( 09951-07100 )

      Note


      • Make sure the LH and RH oil seals are installed to the proper locations.

      • As a different side of SST is used for each oil seal, be sure to confirm that the correct side of SST is being used before tapping in an oil seal.

      • Make sure that the lip of the oil seal is inserted into SST before tapping in the oil seal.

      • As each side of SST is designed to tap in the corresponding oil seal to the proper depth, be sure to fully tap in the oil seal.

      • Do not damage the oil seals.

      Standard Oil Seal Depth
      Item Specified Condition
      for LH Side 2.9 +/-0.45 mm (0.114 +/-0.0177 in.)
      for RH Side 8.1 +/-0.45 mm (0.319 +/-0.0177 in.)

    2. Apply MP grease to the lip of each oil seal.

    Tech Tips

    Use the same procedure described for the LH side.

  10. ADD DIFFERENTIAL OIL


    1. A01J4UTE51
      Text in Illustration
      *a 0 to 5 mm (0 to 0.196 in.)

      Add differential oil so that the oil level is within 5 mm (0 to 0.196 in.) from the bottom lip of the differential filler plug hole.

      Note


      • After changing the oil, drive the vehicle, and then check the oil level again.

      • Too much or too little oil will lead to differential problems.

      If necessary, fill the differential carrier with hypoid gear oil.

      Oil type
      Hypoid gear oil API GL-5
      Recommended Viscosity
      Temperature Viscosity
      Above -18°C (0°F) SAE 90
      Below -18°C (0°F) SAE 80W-90 or SAE 80W
      Standard Differential Oil Capacity
      Item Specified Condition
      Front Differential 1.40 to 1.50 liters (1.48 to 1.58 US qts., 1.23 to 1.32 Imp. qts.)
      Rear differential w/ Differential Lock 2.85 to 2.95 liters (3.01 to 3.12 US qts., 2.51 to 2.59 Imp. qts.)
      w/o Differential Lock 3.30 to 3.40 liters (3.49 to 3.59 US qts., 2.91 to 2.99 Imp. qts.)

    2. Check for oil leakage when the oil level is low.

    3. for front differential:


      1. A01J6I1E01
        Text in Illustration
        *1 10 mm Straight Hexagon Wrench
        *2 10 mm Union Nut Wrench
        *3 Socket Adaptor

        Using SST and the 10 mm straight hexagon wrench, 10 mm union nut wrench and socket adaptor, install a new gasket and the differential filler plug.

        SST
        09961-00950
        Torque:
        39 N*m  { 400 kgf*cm, 29 ft.*lbf }

        Note


        • Make sure all the tools are connected in a straight line.

        • Use the formula to calculate special torque values for situations where a union nut wrench is combined with a torque wrench.

          Formula
          T' = T x L3 / (L1 + L2 + L3)
          - T' = Spec. value of torque wrench
          - T = Value of specified tightening torque
          - L1 = Length of union nut wrench
          - L2 = Length of SST
          - L3 = Length of torque wrench

    4. for rear differential:


      1. Install a new gasket and the differential filler plug.

        Torque:
        49 N*m  { 500 kgf*cm, 36 ft.*lbf }

  11. INSTALL NO. 2 ENGINE UNDER COVER

    Torque:
    28 N*m  { 286 kgf*cm, 21 ft.*lbf }

  12. INSTALL NO. 1 ENGINE UNDER COVER

    Torque:
    28 N*m  { 286 kgf*cm, 21 ft.*lbf }
