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 suitable tool (A),
and check the drive pinion bearing preload torque using suitable
tool (B).
CAUTION:
• Do not reuse drive pinion lock nut.
• Apply anti-corrosive oil to th e 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. Refer to " DLN-214, "
Disassembly and
Assembly"
• If the drive pinion bearing preload torque exceeds the
specified value, replace collapsible spacer and tighten it
again to adjust. Do not loo sen drive pinion lock nut to
adjust the drive pinion bearing preload torque.
• After adjustment, rotate dri ve pinion back and forth 2 to 3
times to check for unusual no ise, rotation malfunction,
and other malfunctions.
11. Check companion flange runout. Refer to DLN-231, "
Inspection and Adjustment".
12. Install the differential case assembly. Refer to DLN-214, "
Disassembly and 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.Drive pinion bearing preload torque:
2.3 - 3.4 N·m (24 - 34 kg-cm, 21 - 30 in-lb)

Do not tighten at this step. This allows further tightening of side
bearing adjusters.
13. Tighten each side bearing adjuster alternately turning drive gear.
14. Check and adjust tooth contact, backlash, drive gear runout and total preload torque. Refer to DLN-231,
"Inspection and Adjustment".
Recheck above items.
• After adjusting tooth contact and backlash secure side bearing adjuster with screws and tighten side bearing cap bolt to the
specified torque. Refer to DLN-214, "
Disassembly and Assem-
bly".
15. Apply multi-purpose grease to the lips of the new side oil seal. Then drive the new side oil seal in evenly to
the gear carrier using suitable tool.

16. Install the extension tube with a new O-ring.
CAUTION:
• Do not reuse O-ring.
• If the extension tube is being replaced, install a new axleshaft bearing.
17. Apply 3 mm (0.12 in) bead of sealant to the mating surface of the carrier cover as shown.
• Use Genuine Silicone RTV or equivalent. Refer to GI-15,
"Recommended Chemical Products and Sealants".
CAUTION:
Remove any old sealant adheri ng to the mating surfaces.
Also remove any moisture, oil, or foreign material adhering
to the application and mating surfaces.
18. Install the carrier cover to the gear carrier. Tighten the bolts to the specified torque. Refer to DLN-214, "
Disassembly and
Assembly".

PRECAUTIONS
5. When the repair work is completed, return the ignition switch to the
″LOCK ″ position before connecting
the battery cables. (At this time, the steering lock mechanism will engage.)
6. Perform a self-diagnosis check of a ll control units using CONSULT-III.
Precaution for Servicing Rear Final DriveINFOID:0000000001604452
• Before starting diagnosis of the vehicle, understand the symptoms well. Perform correct and systematic
operations.
• Check for the correct installation status prior to re moval or disassembly. When matching marks are required,
be certain they do not interfere with the function of the parts they are applied to.
• Overhaul should be done in a clean work area, a dust proof area is recommended.
• Before disassembly, completely remove sand and mud from the exterior of the unit, preventing them from
entering into the unit during disassembly or assembly.
• Always use shop paper for cleaning the inside of components.
• Avoid using cotton gloves or a shop cloth to prevent the entering of lint.
• Check appearance of the disassembled parts for dam age, deformation, and abnormal wear. Replace them
with new ones if necessary.
• Gaskets, seals and O-rings should be replaced any time the unit is disassembled.
• Clean and flush the parts sufficiently and blow them dry.
• Be careful not to damage sliding surfaces and mating surfaces.
• When applying sealant, remove the old sealant from the mating surface; then remove any moisture, oil, and
foreign materials from the application and mating surfaces.
• In principle, tighten nuts or bolts gradually in severa l steps working diagonally from inside to outside. If a
tightening sequence is specified, observe it.
• During assembly, observe the specified tightening torque.
• Add new differential gear oil, petroleum jelly, or multi-purpose grease, as specified.
