11. Apply gear oil to side bearings. Install differential case assembly
with side bearing outer races into axle housing.
12. Apply multi-purpose grease to sensor connector.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse sensor connector.
13. Connect differential lock solenoid harness and sensor connec-
tor. Then install it to axle housing, tighten to the specified torque.
Refer toRFD-82, "
COMPONENTS".
14. Align paint matching mark on side bearing cap with that on axle
housing and install side bearing caps on axle housing.
CAUTION:
Do not tighten at this point. This allows further tightening of
side bearing adjusters.
15. Tighten each side bearing adjusters using Tool.
16. Adjust backlash of drive gear and drive pinion. Refer toRFD-84,
"Backlash".
17. Check tooth contact. Refer toRFD-83, "
To o t h C o n t a c t".
18. Check total preload. Refer toRFD-83, "
Total Preload Torque".
19. Apply sealant to mating surface of carrier cover. Refer toRFD-
82, "COMPONENTS".
CAUTION:
Remove old sealant adhering to mating surfaces. Also

PRECAUTIONS
PFP:00001
PrecautionsEES002JD
lWhen installing rubber parts, final tightening must be carried out under unladen condition* with
tires on ground.
*Fuel, radiator coolant, and engine oil are full. Spare tire, jack, hand tools, and mats are in their
designated positions. Oil will shorten the life of rubber bushings, so wipe off any spilled oil imme-
diately.
lLock nuts are not reusable. Always use new lock nuts for installation. New lock nuts are pre-oiled,
do not apply any additional lubrication.

CAUTION:
When installing the components with rubber bushings, the final tightening of the nuts and bolts must
be done with the vehicle in an unladen condition (the fuel, engine coolant, and engine oil full; the
spare tire, jack, hand tools and mats in their designated positions) with the tires on the ground.
On-Vehicle Inspection and ServiceEES002JH
lCheck the rear suspension parts for any excessive play, cracks, wear, and other damage.
lShake each rear wheel to check for any excessive play as
shown.
lTighten all of the nuts and bolts to the specified torque.
