SERVICE INFORMATION
PRECAUTIONS
Service Notice or PrecautionINFOID:0000000001327490
• Check for the correct installation status prior to removal or disassembly. If matching marks are required, becertain they do not interfere with the function of the parts when applied.
 Overhaul should be done in a clean work area, it is preferable to work in dustproof area.
 Before disassembly, using steam or white gasoline, completely remove sand and mud from the exterior of
the unit, preventing them from entering into the unit during disassembly or assembly.
 Check appearance of the disassembled parts for dam age, deformation, and unusual wear. Replace them
with a new ones if necessary.
 Gaskets, seals and O-rings should be replaced any time when the unit is disassembled.
 In principle, tighten bolts or nuts gradually in several steps working diagonally from inside to outside. If tight-
ening sequence is specified, observe it.
 Clean and flush the parts sufficiently and blow-dry them.
 Be careful not to damage sliding surfaces and mating surfaces.
 When applying sealant, remove the old sealant from t he mounting surface; then remove any moisture, oil,
and foreign materials from the application and mounting surfaces.
 Always use shop paper for cleaning the inside of components.
 Avoid using cotton gloves or shop rags to prevent entering of lint.
 During assembly, observe the specified tightening tor que, and apply new gear oil, petroleum jelly, or multi-
purpose grease as specified for each vehicle, if necessary.

Note the following, and installation is in the reverse order of removal.
 Refer to "COMPONENTS" about each tightening torque.
 When installing breather hoses (1), refer to the figure.CAUTION:
Make sure there are no pinched or restricted areas on the
breather hose caused by bending or winding when installing
it.
- For installation, the vehicle side end shall be inserted to suspen- sion member (2). Install metal connector (3) side of this hose to
rear cover by inserting it with aiming painted marking to the front of

2. Remove side flanges.
3. Rotate drive pinion back and forth 2 to 3 times to check for unusual noise and rotation malfunction.
4. Rotate drive pinion at least 20 times to check for smooth operation of the bearing.
5. Measure total preload with the preload gauge.
NOTE:
Total preload torque = Pinion bearing preload torque + Side
bearing preload torque
 If measured value is out of the specification, disassemble it to
check and adjust each part. Adjust the pinion bearing preload and
side bearing preload.
Adjust the pinion bearing preload first, then adjust the side bearing preload.
Drive Gear Runout
1. Remove rear cover. Refer to "Differential Assembly".
2. Fit a dial indicator to the drive gear back face.
3. Rotate the drive gear to measure runout.
 If the runout is outside of the repair limit, check drive gear assem- bly condition; foreign material may be caught between drive gear
and differential case, or differential case or drive gear may be
deformed, etc.
CAUTION:
Replace drive gear and dri ve pinion gear as a set.
Tooth Contact
1. Remove rear cover. Refer to "Differential Assembly".Tool number A: KV38100800 (J-25604-01)

When the preload torque is largeOn pinion bearings: Replace the collapsible spacer.
On side bearings: Use thinner side bearing adjusting washers by the same amount to
each side. Refer to RFD-38, "
Inspection and Adjustment".
When the preload is small On pinion bearings: Tighten the drive pinion lock nut.
On side bearings: Use thicker side bearing adjusting washers by the same amount to
each side. Refer to RFD-38, "

4. If tooth contact is improperly adjusted, follow the procedure
below to adjust the pinion height (dimension X).
 If the tooth contact is near the face (face contact), or near the heel (heel contact), thicken pinion height adjusting washers to move
drive pinion closer to drive gear.
Refer to RFD-38, "
Inspection and Adjustment".
 If the tooth contact is near the flank (flank contact), or near the toe
(toe contact), thin pinion height adjusting washers to move drive
pinion farther from drive gear.
Refer to RFD-38, "
Inspection and Adjustment".
Backlash
1. Remove rear cover. Refer to "Differential Assembly".
2. Fit a dial indicator to the drive gear face to measure the back-
lash.
 If the backlash is outside of the specified value, change the thick- ness of side bearing adjusting washer.
CAUTION:

Backlash: 0.10 - 0.15 mm (0.0039 - 0.0059 in)
When the backlash is large: Make drive gear back side adjusting washer thicker,
and drive gear tooth side adjusting washer thinner by
the same amount. Refer to RFD-38, "
Inspection and
Adjustment".
When the backlash is small: Make drive gear back side adjusting washer thinner,
and drive gear tooth side ad justing washer thicker by
the same amount. Refer to RFD-38, "

Never change the total amount of washers as it will change the bearing preload.
Companion Flange Runout
1. Fit a test indicator to the inner side of companion flange (socket
diameter).
2. Rotate companion flange to check for runout.
3. If the runout value is outside t he runout limit, follow the proce-
dure below to adjust.
a. Check for runout while changing the phase between companion flange and drive pinion by 90 ° step, and search for the position
where the runout is the minimum.
b. If the runout value is still outside of the limit after the phase has been changed, possible cause will be an assembly malfunction of drive pinion and pinion bearing and
malfunction of pinion bearing. Check for these items and repair if necessary.
c. If the runout value is still outside of the limit after the check and repair, replace companion flange.
DISASSEMBLY
Differential Assembly
1. Drain gear oil, if necessary.
2. Remove side flange.
3. Remove rear cover mounting bolts.
4. Remove rear cover to insert the seal cutter between gear carrier and rear cover.
CAUTION:
 Be careful not to damage the mating surface.
 Never insert flat-bladed screwdriver, this way damage the
mating surface.
