  1. INSTALL DIFFERENTIAL RING GEAR


    1. Clean the contact surfaces of the rear differential case sub-assembly and differential ring gear.

    2. Clean the rear differential ring gear set bolt hole.

    3. Heat the differential ring gear to approximately 100°C (212°F) in boiling water.

    4. Carefully take the differential ring gear out of the boiling water.

      CAUTION:

      Use thick gloves to protect your hands as the differential ring gear is hot.

    5. Secure the rear differential case sub-assembly between aluminum plates in a vise.

      Note

      Do not overtighten the vise.

    6. After the moisture on the differential ring gear has completely evaporated, quickly install the differential ring gear to the rear differential case sub-assembly.

      Torque:
      337 N*m  { 3444 kgf*cm, 249 ft.*lbf, or less }

      Note


      • Tighten the rear drive pinion nut to approximately 100 N*m (1020 kgf*cm, 74 ft.*lbf), and then tighten it further while checking the differential drive pinion preload.

      • Apply hypoid gear oil LSD to the rear drive pinion nut and the threads of the differential drive pinion.

      • As there is no rear differential drive pinion bearing spacer, tighten the rear drive pinion nut a little at a time. Do not overtighten it.

    6. Turn the bearing clockwise and counterclockwise several times to stabilize it.

    7. A01FIYR

      Using a torque wrench, measure the starting torque of the differential drive pinion.

      Tech Tips


      • The backlash between the differential drive pinion and differential ring gear should allow enough movement of the differential drive pinion to allow this measurement to be performed.

      • Make sure not to include the preload of the differential ring gear (rear differential case sub-assembly) in the measurement of the differential drive pinion preload.

      Differential Drive Pinion Preload (at Starting)
      Item Specified Condition
      New rear drive pinion tapered roller bearing 1.77 to 2.14 N*m (18.05 to 21.82 kgf*cm, 15.67 to 18.94 in.*lbf)
      Reused rear drive pinion tapered roller bearing 1.77 to 2.07 N*m (18.05 to 21.11 kgf*cm, 15.67 to 18.32 in.*lbf)

      Note


      • Record the differential drive pinion preload for the total preload measurement.

      • Do not apply hypoid gear oil to a new rear drive pinion tapered roller bearing.

      If the preload is not within the specified range, adjust the differential drive pinion preload or perform repairs as necessary.

      Torque:
      337 N*m  { 3444 kgf*cm, 249 ft.*lbf, or less }

      Note


      • Tighten the rear drive pinion nut to approximately 100 N*m (1020 kgf*cm, 74 ft.*lbf), and then tighten it further while checking the differential drive pinion preload.

      • Apply hypoid gear oil LSD to the rear drive pinion nut and the threads of the differential drive pinion.

  24. ADJUST DIFFERENTIAL DRIVE PINION PRELOAD


    1. A01FIYR

      Using a torque wrench, measure the starting torque of the differential drive pinion.

      Tech Tips


      • The backlash between the differential drive pinion and differential ring gear should allow enough movement of the differential drive pinion to allow this measurement to be performed.

      • Make sure not to include the preload of the differential ring gear (rear differential case sub-assembly) in the measurement of the differential drive pinion preload.

      Differential Drive Pinion Preload (at Starting)
      Item Specified Condition
      New rear drive pinion tapered roller bearing 1.87 to 2.24 N*m (19.07 to 22.84 kgf*cm, 16.55 to 19.83 in.*lbf)
      Reused rear drive pinion tapered roller bearing 1.87 to 2.17 N*m (19.07 to 22.13 kgf*cm, 16.55 to 19.21 in.*lbf)

      • If the preload is less than the specified minimum value, check the preload while retightening the rear drive pinion nut by 5 to 10° to adjust it so that it is within the specified range.

        Torque
        337 N*m (3444 kgf*cm, 249 ft.*lbf) or less

      • If the preload is less than the specified minimum value even when the tightening torque of the rear drive pinion nut is more than the specified maximum value, loosen the rear drive pinion nut and check that the threads of the rear drive pinion nut and differential drive pinion are not stripped.

      • If the threads are not stripped, replace the rear differential drive pinion bearing spacer. Apply hypoid gear oil LSD to the threads of the differential drive pinion and repeat the procedure.

  25. INSPECT TOTAL PRELOAD


    1. A01FIYR

      Using a torque wrench, measure the preload with the teeth of the drive pinion and ring gear in contact.

      Total Preload (at Starting)
      Specification New Rear Drive Pinion Tapered Roller Bearing Reused Rear Drive Pinion Tapered Roller Bearing
      New differential case bearing 2.26 to 2.91 N*m (23.05 to 29.67 kgf*cm, 20.00 to 25.76 in.*lbf) 2.26 to 2.84 N*m (23.05 to 28.96 kgf*cm, 20.00 to 25.14 in.*lbf)
      Reused differential case bearing 2.17 to 2.80 N*m (22.13 to 28.55 kgf*cm, 19.21 to 24.78 in.*lbf) 2.17 to 2.73 N*m (22.13 to 27.84 kgf*cm, 19.21 to 24.16 in.*lbf)

      If the total preload is not within the specified range, adjust the total preload or perform repairs as necessary.

  26. INSPECT DIFFERENTIAL RING GEAR BACKLASH


    1. A01FGUW

      While holding the rear drive pinion companion flange, rotate the differential ring gear and measure the backlash.

      Standard Backlash
      0.13 to 0.18 mm (0.00512 to 0.00708 in.)

  27. INSPECT RUNOUT OF REAR DRIVE PINION COMPANION FLANGE


    1. A01FFS4E03

      Using a dial indicator, measure the runout of the rear drive pinion companion flange vertically and horizontally.

      Maximum runout
      0.09 mm (0.00354 in.)

      Note

      Measure the runout of the rear drive pinion companion flange horizontally at a position 30 mm (1.18 in.) away from the center of the shaft.

      If the runout is more than the maximum, replace the differential drive pinion and differential ring gear.

  28. STAKE REAR DRIVE PINION NUT

      Oil seal depth
      -0.5 to 0.5 mm (-0.0197 to 0.0197 in.)

      Note


      • To ensure a proper seal, evenly tap in the rear differential side gear shaft oil seals.

      • When installing the rear differential side gear shaft oil seals, tap them in until the outer surface of each seal is flush with the rear differential carrier.
