and sliding splines are not siezed or worn and
that the shafts are correctly aligned.
NOTE: In the event that both shafts are
satisfactory, but the vibration/harshness is
still present, the transfer box operation
and balance of the road wheels should be
checked.

FAULT DIAGNOSIS FAULT DIAGNOSIS
Complaint - Oil leaks
An external leak of lubrication from the hub seals can
be caused by a faulty internal seal. For example, if the
internal seals which separate the differential from the
hubs are faulty and the vehicle is operating or parked
on an embankment. Oil from the differential may flood
one hub causing a leak and leave the differential
lacking lubrication.
When a seal is found to be leaking check the axle
ventilation system, as a blockage can cause internal
pressure to force oil past the seals.
See 'Description and Operation' for illustrations of oil
seal locations.
When investigating hub seal leaks check the grease
for dilution with oil. Check also the differential level
and oil for metal particles and the condition of internal
seals.
If the vehicle is driven in deep water with defective oil
seals, water may contaminate the lubricants and raise
the differential level giving a false impression that the
housing has been overfilled with oil.
Do not assume that a high oil level in the
differential is due to over filling or, that a low level
is because of an external leak.

Use service tools LRT-54-505 and LRT-54-507.
36.Fit pinion head bearing to pinion. Use service
tool LRT-54-502.
37.Fit pinion into its location without shims for
bearing pre-load.
38.Fit outer bearing, and spacer (front axle
differential only).
39.Fit driving flange, washer and nut.
40.Do not fit oil seal at this stage.
41.Tighten pinion flange nut until force required to
rotate pinion is
3Nmif new bearings are fitted.
This will pre-load bearings to check pinion height
dimension.
NOTE: If using original bearings, pre-load
figure is 1.5 Nm.
Drive pinion markings
NOTE: Markings on end face adjacent to
serial number are of no relevance to
servicing.
42.Figures marked on end face opposite to serial
number show in thousandths of an inch,
deviation from nominal, required to set pinion.
Pinions marked plus (+) must be set below
nominal. Pinions marked minus (-) must be set
above nominal. Unmarked pinions must be set at
nominal.

OVERHAUL 48.Repeat on other bearing bore. Add readings
then halve sum to obtain mean reading. Note
whether trace pin has moved up or down from
zero.
A. Where trace pin moves down, reading is
equal to thickness of shims to remove, to
bring pinion to nominal.
B. Where trace pin moves up, reading is
equal to thickness of shims to add, to bring
pinion to nominal.
49.Before adjusting shim thickness: check pinion
face marking. If a plus (+) figure, subtract in
thousandths of an inch from shim thickness
figure.
50.If pinion has a minus (-) figure, add amount to
shim thickness figure.
Adjust shim thickness under pinion head bearing
track as necessary.

NOTE: Where dial indicator is metric
conversion must be made to inches when
measuring and selecting shims.
51.Recheck pinion height setting. If setting is
correct, mean reading of dial gauge will agree
with figure marked on pinion end face.
For example, with end face marking of +3, dial
gauge reading should indicate pinion is +0.003

52.Remove the pinion flange, pinion, outer bearing
and spacer.
53.Slide new shim, of same thickness as original
(bearing pre-load) into position on pinion shaft. If
fitting a new shim use thickest shim 2.155 mm.
54.Fit pinion to pinion housing and fit outer bearing
and spacer (front differential only).
55.Fit driving flange, washer and nut.
56.Do not fit oil seal at this stage.
57.Tighten pinion flange nut to130 Nm.Force to
rotate pinion shaft is 3Nm using new bearings.
Change shim as necessary to obtain reading.
Thicker shim will reduce pre-load. Thinner shim
will increase pre-load.
NOTE: If using original bedded in
bearings, pre-load figure is 1.5 Nm.

FAULT DIAGNOSIS FAULT DIAGNOSIS
Complaint - Oil leaks
An external leak of lubrication can be caused by a
faulty internal seal. For example, if the seals which
separate the differential from the swivel housings are
faulty and the vehicle is operating or parked on an
embankment, oil may leak across the axle leaving one
swivel with a high level and the other swivel and
differential lacking lubrication.
See 'Description and Operation' for illustrations of oil
seal locations.
When investigating leaks or checking oil levels, it is
essential that all the lubrication is drained from any
housing with a high level and that the other levels are
checked.
Swivel oil should be checked for signs of grease
leaking from the hub bearings and the hub grease
should not contain oil.
Check that the axle ventilation system is clear, as a
blockage can cause internal pressure to force oil past
the seals.
If the vehicle is driven in deep water with defective oil
seals, water may contaminate the lubricants and when
checked, give a false impression that the housing has
been overfilled with oil.
Do not assume that a high oil level is due to over
filling or, that a low level is because of an external
leak.
