P Total Preload Torque
1. Install the differential side shaft and differential side flange if necessary.
CAUTION:
The differential side shaft and differential side flange must be installed 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 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.
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.

If the total preload torque is greater than specification
On drive pinion bearings: Replace the collapsible spacer.
On side bearings: Loosen the side bearing adjuster by the same amount on each
side.
If the total preload torque is less than specification

10. Apply anti-corrosive oil to the threads of the drive pinion and the
seating surface of the new drive pinion lock nut. Then adjust the
drive pinion lock nut tightening torque using Tool A, and check
the drive pinion bearing preload torque using Tool B.
CAUTION:
• Do not reuse drive pinion lock nut.
• Apply anti-corrosive oil to the threads of the drive pinion
and the seating surface of the new drive pinion lock nut.
• Adjust the drive pinion lock nut tightening torque to the
lower limit first. Do not exceed the drive pinion lock nut
specified torque.
• If the drive pinion bearing preload torque exceeds the
specified value, replace collapsible spacer and tighten it
again to adjust. Do not loosen drive pinion lock nut to
adjust the drive pinion bearing preload torque.
• After adjustment, rotate drive pinion back and forth 2 to 3
times to check for unusual noise, rotation malfunction,
and other malfunctions.
11. Check companion flange runout.
12. Install the differential case assembly.
Differential Assembly
1. Install side gear thrust washers with the same thickness as the
ones installed prior to disassembly, or reinstall the old ones on
the side gears.
2. Install the side gears and side gear thrust washers into the dif-
ferential case.
3. Install the pinion mate thrust washers to the two pinion mate
gears. Then install the pinion mate gears with the pinion mate
thrust washers by aligning them in diagonally opposite positions
and rotating them into the differential case.Tool number A: KV38108300 (J-44195)

4. Install the pinion mate shaft and align the lock pin hole on the
pinion mate shaft with the lock pin hole on the differential case.
5. Measure the side gear end play. If necessary, select the appro-
priate side gear thrust washers.
6. Drive a new lock pin into the pinion mate shaft until it is flush
with the differential case using suitable tool.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse lock pin.
7. Align the matching mark of the differential case with the mark of
the drive gear, then place the drive gear onto the differential
case.
8. Install and tighten the new drive gear bolts to the specified
torque.
CAUTION:
• Make sure the drive gear back and threaded holes are
clean.
• Do not reuse drive gear bolts.
• Tighten new drive gear bolts in a crisscross pattern.
9. Press the new side bearing inner races to the differential case
using Tools.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse side bearing inner races.

REMOVAL
WARNING:
Follow the “General Precautions” before working on the fuel system. Refer to GI-3, "
General Precau-
tion" .
1. Remove the fuel filler cap to release the pressure from inside the fuel tank.
2. Check the fuel level on level gauge. If the fuel gauge indicates
more than the level as shown (full or almost full), drain the fuel
from the fuel tank until the fuel gauge indicates the level as
shown, or less.
• If the fuel pump does not operate, use the following procedure
to drain the fuel to the specified level.
a. Insert a suitable hose of less than 15 mm (0.59 in) diameter into
the fuel filler pipe through the fuel filler opening to drain the fuel
from fuel filler pipe.
b. Remove the LH rear wheel and tire. Refer to WT-7, "
Rotation" .
c. Remove the four clips and remove the rear fender protector,
front.

d. Disconnect the fuel filler hose from the fuel filler pipe.
e. Insert a suitable hose into the fuel tank through the fuel filler hose to drain the fuel from the fuel tank.
• As a guide, the fuel level reaches the fuel gauge position as shown, or less, when approximately 14
liters (3 3/4 US gal, 3 1/8 Imp gal) of fuel are drained from the fuel tank.
3. Release the fuel pressure from the fuel lines. Refer to EC-80, "
Fuel Pressure Check" .
4. Disconnect the battery negative terminal.
5. Remove the second row LH seat and the third row LH seat. Refer to SE-89, "
Removal and Installation"

12. Remove the lock ring using Tool.
13. Remove the fuel level sensor, fuel filter, and fuel pump assem-
bly. Remove and discard the fuel level sensor, fuel filter, and fuel
pump assembly O-ring.
CAUTION:
• Do not bend the float arm during removal.
• Avoid impacts such as dropping when handling the com-
ponents.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
• For installation, use a new fuel level sensor, fuel filter, and fuel pump assembly O-ring.
• Connect the quick connector as follows:
- Check the connection for any damage or foreign materials.
- Align the connector with the pipe, then insert the connector straight into the pipe until a click is heard.
- After connecting the quick connector, make sure that the connec-
tion is secure by checking as follows:
- Pull the tube and the connector to make sure they are securely
connected.
- Visually inspect the connector to make sure the two retainer tabs
are securely connected.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
1. Turn the ignition switch ON but do not start engine, then check the fuel pipes and hose connections for
leaks while applying fuel pressure to the system.
2. Start the engine and rev it above idle speed, then check that there are no fuel leaks at any of the fuel pipe
and hose connections.Tool number : — (J-46536)
