M DIFFERENTIAL Disassembly note Output shafts Remove the output shafts with two pry bars as shown in the figure. -J Differential case Caution The differential case is made of aluminum, and is therefore easily dented and scratched by metal tools. When. separating the differential carrier from the case, use only a plastic hammer at the point shown in the figure. Strike the differential carrier with a copper hammer to separate it from the case. Differential gear assembly Mount the differential gear assembly on the SST. Bearing caps Mark one bearing cap and the carrier. Adjusting nuts Mark one adjusting nuts and the carrier. Knock pin Secure the gear case in a vise and tap out the knock pin toward the ring gear side. Bearing inner races (Side bearing) Note Mark the bearings so that they can later be reinstalled in the same position. Remove the bearing inner races (side bearing) from the gear case by using the SST. -1 Gartner Banana

DIFFERENTIAL M Bearing outer race (rear bearing) Install the bearing outer race (rear bearing) by using the SST. Bearing inner race (rear bearing), Bearing inner race (front bearing), Spacer 1. Adjust the drive pinion height as follows, by using the SST. (1) Install the previously-removed spacer onto the SST so that the beveled side of the spacer faces the drive pinion. Then install the rear bearing and O-ring onto the SSTIspacer as shown in the figure. (2) Assemble the spacer, bearing inner race (rear bear- ing), and SST. Secure the SST with the O-ring. Install this assembly in the carrier. Install the bearing inner race (front bearing), the SST, companion flange, washer, and nut. (3) Tighten the nut just enough so that the companion flange can still be turned by hand. Gartner Banana

M DIFFERENTIAL Thrust washers (Standard) 1. Adjust the backlash of the side gears and pinion gear as follows. (Standard) (1) Set a dial gauge against the pinion gear as shown. ,+, (2) Secure one of the side gears. (3) Move the pinion gear, and measure the backlash at the end of it. If not within specification, replace the dif- ferential gear as an assembly. ("TORSEN" LSD) Standard backlash: 04.1 mm (0-0.004 in) (4) If the backlash exceeds the standard, use the select- able thrust washers for adjustment. 2. Install the new knock pin to secure the pinion shaft. Stake the pin with a punch to prevent it from coming out of the case. Thrust washer thickness: 3. Apply thread-locking compound to bolt threads @ and points @I of the gear back face. Apply approximately 0.04 cm3 I0.04 cc, 0.0024 cu in} of thread-locking com- pound at each point and bolt thread. 4. lnstall the ring gear onto the gear case.

Press the bearing inner races (side bearing) on by using the SST. 6. Install the differential gear assembly in the carrier. 7. Note the identification marks on the adjusting nuts, and install them on their respective sides. 8. lnstall the differential bearing caps, making sure that the identification mark on the cap corresponds with the one on the carrier by using the SST. Then temporarily tighten the bolts. Gartner Banana
