e. Tighten to drive pinion lock nut, while adjust pinion bearing pre-
load torque.
CAUTION:
lAdjust to the lower limit of the drive pinion lock nut tight-
ening torque first.
lDrive pinion lock nut is tightened with no collapsible spacer. Be careful not to overtighten it.
While measuring the preload, tighten it by 5°to 10°.
lAfter adjustment, rotate drive pinion back and forth 2 to 3 times to check for unusual noise, rota-
tion malfunction and other malfunctions.
f. Install side bearing adjusters into axle housing.
g. Apply gear oil to side bearings. Install differential case assembly
with side bearing outer races into axle housing.
h. Align paint matching mark on side bearing cap with that on axle
housing and install side bearing caps on axle housing.
lDo not tighten at this point. This allows further tightening of
side bearing adjusters.
i. Check and adjust the backlash and tooth contact. Refer toRFD-
84, "Backlash"andRFD-83, "To o t h C o n t a c t".
j. Remove side bearing caps.
k. Remove differential case assembly.
l. Remove companion flange.Tool number : ST3127S000

m. Press the drive pinion assembly from axle housing.
CAUTION:
Do not drop drive pinion assembly.
10. Install front oil seal into axle housing using suitable tool.
CAUTION:
lDo not reuse oil seal.
lDo not incline oil seal when installing.
lApply multi-purpose grease onto oil seal lip, and gear oil
onto the circumference of oil seal.
11. Install collapsible spacer to drive pinion. And then install drive
pinion assembly in axle housing.
CAUTION:
lDo not reuse collapsible spacer.
lBe careful not to damage front oil seal.
12. Align the matching mark of the drive pinion with the mark of the
companion flange, then install the companion flange.
13. Insert companion flange onto drive pinion. Tap the companion
flange with a soft hammer until fully seated.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage companion flange and front oil
seal.

14. Apply anti-corrosive oil to the thread and seat of drive pinion
lock nut, and temporarily tighten drive pinion lock nut and
washer to drive pinion.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse drive pinion lock nut and washer.
15. Rotate drive pinion at least 20 times to check for smooth opera-
tion of the bearing.
16. Tighten to drive pinion lock nut, while adjust pinion bearing pre-
load torque.
CAUTION:
lAdjust the lower limit of the drive pinion lock nut tighten-
ing torque first.
lIf the preload torque exceeds the specified value, replace collapsible spacer and tighten it again
to adjust. Never loosen drive pinion lock nut to adjust the preload torque.
lAfter adjustment, rotate drive pinion back and forth 2 to 3 times to check for unusual noise, rota-
tion malfunction, and other malfunctions.
17. Install differential case assembly. Refer toRFD-96, "
Differential Assembly".
CAUTION:
Do not install carrier cover yet.
18. Check and adjust backlash, tooth contact and companion flange runout. Refer toRFD-84, "
Backlash",
RFD-83, "
Tooth Contact"andRFD-85, "Companion Flange Runout". Recheck above items. Readjust the
above description, if necessary.
19. Check total preload torque. Refer toRFD-83, "
To t a l P r e l o a d To r q u e".
20. Apply sealant to mating surface of carrier cover. Refer toRFD-
82, "COMPONENTS".
CAUTION:
Remove old sealant adhering to mounting surfaces. Also
remove any moisture, oil, or foreign material adhering to
application and mounting surfaces.Tool number : KV40104000
