REASSEMBLY
NOTICE:
When working with FIPG material, you must observe the follow-
ing items.
Using a razor blade and gasket scraper, remove all the old
FIPG material from the gasket surfaces.
Thoroughly clean all components to remove all the loose
material.
Clean both sealing surfaces with a non−residue solvent.
Apply FIPG in an approx. 1 mm (0.04 in.) wide bead along
the sealing surface.
Parts must be assembled within 10 minutes of application.
Otherwise, the FIPG material must be removed and reap-
plied.
HINT:
Coat all of the sliding and rotating surfaces with gear oil before
reassembly.
1. ASSEMBLE DIFFERENTIAL CASE
(a) Install the thrust washer to the side gear.
(b) Install the 4 pinions and thrust washers to the spider.
(c) Install the side gear and spider with the 4 pinions to the
differential left case.
(d) Using a dial indicator, measure the backlash of the pinion
gear while holding the differential left case.
Standard backlash:
0.05 − 0.20 mm (0.0020 − 0.0079 in.)
HINT:
Push the pinion gear and spider with the 4 pinions to the differ-
ential left case.
(e) Install the side gear and spider with the 4 pinions to the
right side of the differential case. Check the side gear
backlash.

(g) Install the vehicle speed sensor drive gear.
(h) Align the matchmarks on the differential cases.
(i) Using a plastic hammer, carefully tap the differential case
to install it.
(j) Using a torx wrench (T50), install and torque the 16 torx
screws.
Torque: 63 N·m (640 kgf·cm, 46 ft·lbf)
2. INSTALL RING GEAR
(a) Clean the contact surface of the differential case and the
threads of the ring gear and differential case.
(b) Heat the ring gear to about 100°C (212°F) in boiling wa-
ter.
(c) Carefully take the ring gear out of the water.
(d) Clean the contact surface of the ring gear with cleaning
solvent.
(e) Quickly install the ring gear on the differential case.
HINT:
Align the matchmarks on the differential left case and contact
the ring gear.
(f) Temporarily install the 16 bolts.
NOTICE:
The ring gear set bolts should not be tightened until the
ring gear has cooled sufficiently.
(g) After the ring gear has cooled sufficiently, torque the ring
gear set bolts.
Torque: 124 N·m (1,260 kgf·cm, 91 ft·lbf)
