f. Check the backlash around the ring gear. If even one backlash is smaller than the
specified value, adjust the differential ring gear backlash by replacing the side gear
shaft snap ring on the drive pinion side with a thicker one.
Backlash: 0.08 to 0.13 mm (0.0031 to 0.0051 in.)
HINT:
If a value is not within the specified range, replace it with one of a different thickness
in the following procedure.
g. Loosen the SST bolt and separate the SST disc from the case bearing (outer race) on
the drive pinion.

ADJUST TOTAL PRELOAD
a. Using SST and a torque wrench, measure the preload with the teeth of the drive pinion
and ring gear in contact.
b. SST 09229-55010
Total preload (at starting):
Drive pinion preload plus 0.46 to 1.37 N.m
(4.69 to 13.97 kgf.cm, 4.07 to 12.13 in..lbf)
If the preload is greater than the specification, replace the rear differential side
gear shaft snap ring of the ring gear's tooth surface side with a thinner one.
