(4) Position the special tool in the side bearing seat of the
gear carrier, and then select a drive pinion rear shim of athickness which corresponds to the gap between the
special tools.
NOTEClean the side bearing seat thoroughly.
When selecting the drive pinion rear shims, keep the
number of shims to a minimum.
(5) Fit the selected drive pinion rear shim(s) to the drive
pinion, and press-fit the drive pinion rear bearing innerrace by using the special tool.
. DRIVE PINION PRELOAD ADJUSTMENT
Adjust the drive pinionrotation torque by using the
following procedures:(1) Fit the drive pinion front shim(s) between the drive
pinion spacer and the drive pinion front bearing inner
race.
(2) Tighten the companion flange to the specified torque byusing the tools.
NOTEDo not install the oil seal.
(3) Measure the drive pinion rotation torque (without the oilseal) by using the special tools.

19. PRESS-FITTING OF SIDE BEARING INNER RACE
Press-fit the side bearing inner races to the differential caseby using the special tool.
. FINAL DRIVE GEAR BACKLASH ADJUSTMENT
(1) Using the special tool, temporarily tighten the side
bearing nut until it is in the state just before preloadingof the side bearing.
(2) Measure the final drive gear backlash.
Standard value: 0.11
- 0.16 mm (.004 - .006 in.)
NOTE
Measure at four or more points around the drive gear
circumference.(3) Using the special tool (MB991367 and
MB991385),adjust the backlash to standard value by moving the
side bearing nut as shown.
NOTE
First turn the side bearing nut for loosening, and thenturn (by the same amount) the side bearing nut for
tightening.

side bearing nut.
(6) Check the drive gear and drive pinion for tooth contact.
If poor contact is evident, make adjustment. (Refer to
P.27-28.)(7) Measure the drive gear
runout at the shoulder on the
reverse side of the drive gear.
Limit: 0.05 mm
(.002 in.)
(8) If the drive gear
runout exceeds the limit, reinstall by
changing the phase of the drive gear and differential
’
case, and remeasure.d
24. INSTALLATION OF OIL SEAL
(1) Using the special tool, install the oil seal flush with the
gear carrier end face.
(2) Apply a thin coat of Multi-purpose grease to the oil seal
lip.

Differential gear backlash
Standard value (clearance in thiust direction ofside gear): 0.03

NOTE
If the clearance in the thrust direction of the side gear iswithin the standard value range, the backlash of the
differential gear is normal.
(6) If the clearance in the thrust direction of the side gear is
not within the standard value range, remove differentialcase A and make the adjustment by adjusting the
thickness of the thrust washer (left).

(1) Check the gears and differential pinion shaft for unusual
wear or damage.
(2) Check the spline part of the differential side gear (right) forstepped wear or damage.

With the washer in the position shown in the illustration,
install to the differential pinion shaft, and then install to
differential case B.3. SELECTION OF THE THRUST WASHER (LEFT)
If the differential side gear and pinion mate gear have beenreplaced, select the thrust washer (left) by following the
steps below.
(1) Wash the differential side gear and pinion mate gear inunleaded gasoline to remove all oil, grease, etc.
(2) Install the previously used thrust washers (being carefulthe left and right ones are used at the correct side),
together with the gears, viscous unit, pinion mate
washer and pinion shaft, to differential cases A and B,and then, using screws, secure them temporarily.
(3) Secure the differential case assembly in a vise so thatthe differential side gear (right) is facing upward.
Caution
When securing in the vise, be sure not to hold thedifferential case assembly too tightly.
