Removal
+Remove propeller shaft.
+Remove drive shaft. Refer to FA section (``FRONT AXLE Ð
Knuckle Flange'').
+Remove axle shaft.
Refer to RA section (``REAR AXLE'').
+Remove front and rear ®nal drive mounting bolts.
CAUTION:
+Be careful not to damage spline, sleeve yoke and front oil
seal when removing propeller shaft.
+Before removing the ®nal drive assembly or rear axle
assembly, disconnect the ABS sensor harness connector
from the assembly and move it away from the ®nal drive/
rear axle assembly area. Failure to do so may result in the
sensor wires being damaged and the sensor becoming
inoperative.
Installation
+Fill ®nal drive with recommended gear oil.
+Pay attention to the direction of gasket.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
PD-11

Pre-inspection
Before disassembling ®nal drive, perform the following inspection.
+Total preload
1) Turn drive pinion in both directions several times to set bearing
rollers.
2) Check total preload with Tool.
Tool number: ST3127S000
Total preload (with front oil seal):
Drive pinion bearing
New parts
1.7 - 2.5 Nzm (17 - 25 kg-cm, 15 - 22 in-lb)
Used parts
1.5 - 1.7 Nzm (15 - 17 kg-cm, 13 - 15 in-lb)
+Ring gear to drive pinion backlash
Check ring gear-to-drive pinion backlash with a dial indicator at
several points.
Ring gear-to-drive pinion backlash:
0.15 - 0.20 mm (0.0059 - 0.0079 in)
+Ring gear runout
Check runout of ring gear with a dial indicator.
Runout limit:
0.08 mm (0.0031 in)
+Tooth contact
Check tooth contact. Refer to ADJUSTMENT (PD-27).
+Side gear to pinion mate gear backlash
Measure clearance between side gear thrust washer and dif-
ferential case with a feeler gauge.
Clearance between side gear thrust washer and differ-
ential case:
0.15 - 0.20 mm (0.0059 - 0.0079 in)

DISASSEMBLY
PD-14

Be careful to keep the side bearing outer races together with
their respective inner cones Ð do not mix them up.
6. Loosen drive pinion nut with Tool.
Tool number: KV38104700
7. Remove companion ¯ange with puller.
8. Take out drive pinion together with pinion rear bearing inner
cone, drive pinion bearing spacer and pinion bearing adjusting
shim with soft hammer.
9. Remove front oil seal and pinion front bearing inner cone.
10. Remove pinion bearing outer races with a brass drift.

DISASSEMBLY
Differential Carrier (Cont'd)
PD-16

Disassembly
1. Remove side bearing inner cone with Tool.
2. Loosen ring gear bolts in a criss-cross pattern.
3. Tap ring gear off gear case with a soft hammer.
Tap evenly all around to keep ring gear from binding.
4. Loosen screws on differential cases A and B using a press.
5. Separate differential cases A and B. Draw out component parts
(discs and plates, etc.).
Put marks on gears, discs and plates so that they can be rein-
stalled in their original positions from which they were
removed.
Inspection
CONTACT SURFACES
1. Clean the disassembled parts in suitable solvent and blow dry
with compressed air.
2. If following surfaces are found with burrs or scratches, smooth
with oil stone.

V2Differential case B
V3Pressure ring
V4Thrust washer
V5Pinion mate shaft
V6Thrust block

(3) Install pinion mate gears, side gears and pinion mate shaft in
differential case B.
(4) Set dial indicator's tip on the side gear, and read the indication.
Example:
E = A þ D = A þ (B + C) = 0.05 to 0.15 mm
A = 49.52 mm
B = 19.45 mm
C = 29.7 mm
D=B+C E=AþD
B .... 19.45 A ..... 49.52
+C .... 29.7 þD .... 49.15
49.150.37
From the above equation, end play of 0.37 mm exceeds the speci-
®ed range of 0.05 to 0.15 mm.
Select suitable discs and plates to adjust correctly.
Assembly
Assemble differential case in the reverse order of disassembly,
observing the following.
1. As an aid to installation, apply sufficient amounts of recom-
mended limited slip differential gear oil (refer to MA section) to
the faces of pressure rings, discs and plates to be assembled
together.
2. Place differential case B on a level surface, then install thrust
washer.
3. Install spring plates, friction plates and friction discs.
Pay particular attention to the direction of clutch plates and
their assembly sequence.

4. Install pressure ring.
5. Install side gear by inserting projected portion of disc.
6. Install pinion mate gears and shaft.
Always attach pinion mate shaft to ``V'' groove in pressure ring
with ¯at surfaces facing up and down.
7. Install thrust block.
8. Install differential case A side components in the opposite way
of differential case B components.
9. Apply gear oil to differential case A, and attach thrust washer
to it.
