Differential Side Gear Clearance
 Assemble the differential parts if they are disassembled. Refer to "Differential Assembly".
1. Place differential case straight up so that side gear to be mea-
sured comes upward.
2. Using feeler gauge, measure the clearance between side gear back and differential case at 3 different points, while rotating
side gear. Average the 3 readings, and then measure the clear-
ance of the other side as well.
CAUTION:
To prevent side gear from tilting, insert feeler gauges with
the same thickness from both sides.
3. If the back clearance is outside t he specification, use a thicker/
thinner side gear thrust washer to adjust. Refer to FFD-39,
"Inspection and Adjustment".
CAUTION:
Select a side gear thrust washer for right and left individually.
Side Bearing Preload
1. Make sure all parts are clean. Also, make sure the bearings are well lubricated with gear oil.
2. Press-fit side bearing outer race into side retainer with tool.
CAUTION:
 At first, using a hammer, tap bearing outer race until itbecomes flat to side retainer.
 Never reuse side bearing outer race.
PDIA0460E
Side gear back clearance specification:
0.2 mm (0.008 in) or less.
(Each gear should rotate smoothly without excessive
resistance during differential motion.)
When the back clearance is large:
Use a thicker thrust washer.
When the back clearance is small: Use a thinner thrust washer.

FRONT FINAL DRIVE ASSEMBLY
3. Press-fit side bearing outer race into gear carrier with tool.CAUTION:
 At first, using a hammer, tap bearing outer race until itbecomes flat to gear carrier.
 Never reuse side bearing outer race.
4. Place the differential case assembly into gear carrier.
5. Install side bearing adjusting shim before disassembling or shim which thickness is the same as the one before disassembling.
6. Install side retainer assembly to gear carrier. CAUTION:
Never install O-ring.
7. Install side retainer mounting bolts to the specified torque. Refer to "COMPONENTS (VQ35DE MODELS)", "COMPONENTS
(VK45DE MODELS)".
8. Measure the turning torque of the gear carrier at the drive gear
mounting bolts with a spring gauge. Tool number A: ST30611000 (J-25742-1)

FRONT FINAL DRIVE ASSEMBLY
9. Install drive gear on the mounting bolts, and then tighten to thespecified torque. Refer to "COMPONENTS (VQ35DE MOD-
ELS)", "COMPONENTS (VK45DE MODELS)".
CAUTION:
Tighten bolts in a crisscross fashion.
10. Press side bearing inner races to differential case, using the drift and the base.
CAUTION:
Never reuse side bearing inner race.
11. Press-fit side bearing outer race into side retainer with the drift and the drift bar.
CAUTION:
 At first, using a hammer, tap bearing outer race until itbecomes flat to side retainer.
 Never reuse side bearing outer race.
12. Press-fit side bearing outer race into gear carrier with the drift and the drift bar.
CAUTION:
 At first, using a hammer, tap bearing outer race until itbecomes flat to gear carrier.
 Never reuse side bearing outer race.
13. Place the differential case assembly into gear carrier.
14. Measure side bearing preload. If necessary, select the appropri-
ate side bearing adjusting shim. Refer to "Side Bearing Pre-
load".
