DIFFERENTIAL CASE REASSEMBLY

PROCEDURE

  1. INSTALL DIFFERENTIAL SIDE GEAR

    1. C278985C01

      *1

      Differential Case

      *2

      Differential Side Gear

      *3

      No. 1 Front Differential Side Gear Thrust Washer

      *4

      Front Differential Pinion

      *5

      Front Differential Pinion Thrust Washer

      Coat the 2 differential side gears, 2 No. 1 front differential side gear thrust washers, 2 front differential pinions and 2 front differential pinion thrust washers with ATF and install them to the differential case.

  2. INSTALL FRONT NO. 1 DIFFERENTIAL PINION SHAFT

    1. C138706

      Coat the front No. 1 differential pinion shaft with ATF, and install it to the differential case.

  4. INSTALL FRONT DIFFERENTIAL PINION SHAFT STRAIGHT PIN

    1. C138707

      Using a 5 mm pin punch and hammer, install the front differential pinion shaft straight pin.

      Note:

      Align the holes, and install the front differential pinion shaft straight pin.

    2. C138711

      Using a chisel and hammer, stake the differential case.

      Note:

      Stake the differential case after adjusting the backlash.

  5. INSTALL FRONT DIFFERENTIAL RING GEAR

    1. D025215

      Using ATF and a heater, heat the front differential ring gear to 90 to 110°C (194 to 230°F).

      Note:

      Do not heat the front differential ring gear to more than 110°C (230°F).

    2. C317727C04

      *a

      Matchmark

      Clean the contact surface of the differential case.

    3. Align the matchmarks, set the front differential ring gear to the front differential case.

    4. C317728

      Install the 12 bolts.

      120 N*m

      1224 kgf*cm

      89 ft.*lbf

      Note:

      • Tighten the bolts after the front differential ring gear has cooled down sufficiently.

      • Tighten the bolts evenly in a diagonal pattern using several steps.
