Disassembly note 
Checking backlash 
Before disassembly, measure the backlash of the side 
gears and pinion gears. If it is not within specifica-
tion, replace the differential assembly. 
Backlash: 
Standard 0.025—0.1 mm (0.001—0.004 in) 
Maximum 0.5 mm (0.020 in)

Governor drive gear (G4A-HL) 
Remove the governor drive gear with the SST. 
Note 
Be careful not to lose the steel ball. 
Roll pin 
For removing the roll pin from the pinion shaft, place 
the gear case on a vise and knock the pin out with 
a suitable pin punch (02.0 mm (0.079 in) ) and 
hammer. 
Note 
a) Use the protective plates to prevent dam-
age to the differential. 
b) Insert the punch into the spring pin hole 
from the ring gear side. 
Side bearing inner race 
1. Remove the side bearing inner race (side oppo-
site the ring gear) from the gear case with the SST. 
2. Remove the side bearing inner race (ring gear side) 
with a combination of parts from the SST.

. Install the side bearing inner races. 
(1) Press the side bearing inner race (side oppo-
site the ring gear) onto the ring gear and case 
assembly with the SST. 
(2) Press on the other side bearing inner race (ring 
gear side) in the same manner. 
Caution 
Do not reuse the bearings if they were 
removed.

6. Install the thrust washers and side gears into the 
gear case at the same time, then turn them back 
on the pinion gear and align them with the pinion 
shaft hole. 
7. Set the steel ball in the hole in the gear case. 
Note 
Affix the ball with petroleum jelly. 
8. Install the governor drive gear onto the gear case 
with a plastic hammer. 
9. Install the snap ring. 
10. Check and adjust the backlash of the side gears 
and pinion gears as follows: 
(1) Install the left and right driveshafts in the 
differential assembly. 
(2) Support the driveshafts on V-blocks. 
(3) Measure the backlash of both pinion gears. 
Backlash: 
Standard 0.025—0.1 mm (0.001—0.004 in) 
Maximum 0.5 mm (0.020 in) 
11. If the backlash is not within specification, replace 
the differential assembly.

secure the gear in the vice. 
Note 
Use protective plates to prevent damage to 
the idle gear. 
(2) Attach the SST and spring scale or torque 
wrench, and measure the preload while tight-
ening the locknut.
