ASSEMBLY INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT

Drain the differential gear oil before inspection and adjustment. Refer to RFD-8, "DIFFERENTIAL GEAR
OIL" .

Remove and install the carrier cover as necessary for inspection and adjustment. Refer to RFD-12, "CAR-
RIER COVER" .
Total Preload Torque
1. Remove the side flanges if necessary. Refer to RFD-19, "Side Flange" .
CAUTION:
The side flanges shaft must removed in order to measure total preload torque.
2. Rotate the drive pinion back and forth 2 to 3 times to check for unusual noise and rotation malfunction.
3. Rotate the drive pinion at least 20 times to check for smooth operation of the bearings.
4. Measure the total preload torque using Tool.
NOTE:
Total preload torque = Drive pinion bearing preload torque +
Side bearing preload torque

If the measured value is out of the specification, check and adjust each part. Adjust the drive pinion
bearing preload torque first, then adjust the side bearing preload torque.
CAUTION:
Select a side bearing adjusting washer for right and left individually.

If the total preload torque is greater than specificationOn drive pinion bearings: Replace the collapsible spacer.
On side bearings: Use thinner side bearing adjusting washers by the same amount on each side. Refer to RFD-33, "
Side Bearing Adjusting
Washer" .
If the total preload torque is less than specification On drive pinion bearings: Tighten the drive pinion lock nut.
On side bearings: Use thicker side bearing adjusting washers by the same amount on each side. Refer to RFD-33, "

Drive Gear Runout
1. Fit a dial indicator to the drive gear back face.
2. Rotate the drive gear to measure runout.

If the runout is outside of the limit, check the condition of the
drive gear assembly. Foreign material may be caught between
the drive gear and differential case, or the differential case or
drive gear may be deformed.
CAUTION:
Replace drive gear and drive pinion as a set.
Tooth Contact
1. Apply red lead to the drive gear.
NOTE:
Apply red lead to both faces of three to four gears, at four loca-
tions evenly spaced on the drive gear.
2. Rotate the drive gear back and forth several times. Then check for correct drive pinion to drive gear tooth contact as shown.
CAUTION:
Check tooth contact on drive side and reverse side.
3. If the tooth contact is improperly adjusted, follow the procedure below to adjust the pinion height (dimension X).Runout limit : 0.05 mm (0.0020 in) or less

If the tooth contact is near the face (face contact), or near the
heel (heel contact), use a thicker drive pinion height adjusting
washers to move the drive pinion closer to the drive gear.
Refer to RFD-33, "
Drive Pinion Height Adjusting Washer" .

If the tooth contact is near the flank (flank contact), or near the
toe (toe contact), use a thinner drive pinion height adjusting
washers to move the drive pinion farther from the drive gear.
Refer to RFD-33, "
Drive Pinion Height Adjusting Washer" .
Backlash
1. Fit a dial indicator to the drive gear face to measure the back-
lash.

If the backlash is outside of the specification, change the thick-
ness of the side bearing adjusting washers.
CAUTION:
Do not change the total thickness of side bearing adjusting washers as it will change the side bearing
preload torque.
Companion Flange Runout
1. Rotate companion flange and check for runout on the outer face of the companion flange using suitable tool.
2. If the runout is outside of the runout limit, follow the procedure below to adjust.
a. Rotate the companion flange on the drive pinion by 90° , 180°
and 270 ° while checking for the position where the runout is
minimum.
b. If the runout is still outside of the runout limit after the companion flange has been rotated on the drive pinion, possible cause

Backlash : 0.13 - 0.18 mm (0.0051 - 0.0070 in)
If the backlash is greater than specification:
Make side bearing adjusting washer thicker on drive
gear back side, and side bearing adjusting washer
thinner on drive gear tooth side by the same amount.
Refer to RFD-33, "
Side Bearing Adjusting Washer" .
If the backlash is less than specification: Make side bearing adjusting washer thinner on drive
gear back side, and side bearing adjusting washer
thicker on drive gear tooth side by the same amount.

height adjusting washer using Tool.
9. Remove the drive pinion front and rear bearing outer races by tapping them uniformly using suitable tool.
CAUTION:
Do not damage gear carrier.
INSPECTION AFTER DISASSEMBLY
Clean the disassembled parts. Then inspect the parts for wear or damage. If wear or damage are found, follow
the measures below.
Drive Pinion and Drive Gear

If the drive pinion and drive gear teeth do not mesh or line-up correctly, determine the cause and adjust,
repair, or replace as necessary.

If the drive pinion or drive gear are worn, cracked, damaged, pitted or chipped (by friction) noticeably,
replace with new drive pinion and drive gear.

Drive pinion and drive gear are supplied in matched sets only. Matching numbers on both drive pinion and
drive gear are etched for verification. If a new drive pinion and drive gear set are being used, verify the
numbers of each drive pinion and drive gear before proceeding with assembly.
Bearing

If bearings are chipped (by friction), pitted, worn, rusted, scratched, or unusual noise is coming from bear-
ing, replace with new bearing assembly (as a new set).

Bearing must be replaced with a new one whenever disassembled.
Side Gear and Pinion Mate Gear

If any cracks or damage are found on the surface of the teeth, replace with new one.

If any worn or chipped marks are found on the side of the side gear and pinion mate gear which contact
the thrust washer, replace with new one.

Replace both side gear and pinion mate gear as a set when replacing side gear or pinion mate gear.
Side Gear Thrust Washer and Pinion Mate Thrust Washer

If any chips (by friction), damage, or unusual wear are found, replace with new one.
Gear Carrier

If any wear or cracks are found on the contact sides of gear carrier, replace with new one.
Companion Flange

If any chips (about 0.1mm, 0.004 in) or other damage on the companion flange surface which contacts the
front oil seal lips are found, replace with new one.Tool number: : ST30021000 ( — )
