Differential

CAUTION: Do not remove inner race if not necessary.




1. Before disassembly, inspect the backlash of side gear and pinion gear, referring to Preinspection.
2. Disassemble in the order shown in the image, referring to Disassembly Note.
3. Inspect all parts and repair or replace as necessary.
4. Assemble in the reverse order of disassembly, referring to Assembly Note.
5. Measure the backlash after assembly, referring to Backlash of Side Gear and Pinion Gear.




Preinspection
Backlash of side gear and pinion gear
Measure the backlash by the following procedure.
1. Install the left and right driveshafts in the differential assembly.
2. Support the driveshafts on V-blocks as shown in the image.
3. Measure the backlash of both pinion gears.

Backlash: 0 - 0.1 mm (0-0.004 in)




Disassembly Note
Bearing (side opposite ring gear)

CAUTION: Hold the gear case with one hand so that it does not fall.

Remove the bearing by using the SST.




Bearing (ring gear side)

CAUTION: Use pads in the vise to prevent damaging the differential assembly.

Remove the bearing by using the SST.




Assembly Note
Bearing (side opposite ring gear)
1. Install the speedometer drive gear.
2. Install the new bearing by using the SST.




Bearing (ring gear side)
Install the new bearing by using the SST.




Backlash of Side Gear and Pinion Gear
Measure the backlash by the following procedure.
1. Install the left and right driveshafts in the differential assembly.
2. Support the driveshafts on V-blocks as shown in the image.
3. Measure the backlash of both pinion gears.

Backlash: 0 - 0.1 mm (0 - 0.004 in)

4. If not as specified, replace the differential assembly.
