(c) Using SST (or a 36 mm deep socket) and a torque
wrench, measure the preload.
SST 09229-55010
New bearing preload (at starting)
2JZ-GTE M/T2.0 - 2.5 N´m (20 - 25 kgf´cm, 17.3 - 21.7 in.´lbf)
Others1.5 - 1.8 N´m (15 - 18 kgf´cm, 13.0 - 16.0 in.´lbf)
Reused bearing preload (at starting)
2JZ-GTE M/T1.0 - 1.2 N´m (10 - 12 kgf´cm, 8.9 - 10.6 in.´lbf)
Others0.5 - 0.8 N´m (5 - 8 kgf´cm, 4.3 - 6.9 in.´lbf)
If the preload is greater than the specification, replace the
spacer and repeat the preload procedure.
If the preload is less than the specification, retighten the nut 13
N´m (130 kgf´cm, 9 ft´lbf) at a time until the specified preload is
reached.
Maximum torque
2JZ-GTE M/T510 N´m (5,200 kgf´cm, 376 ft´lbf)
Others490 N´m (5,000 kgf´cm, 362 ft´lbf)
If the maximum torque is exceeded while retightening the nut,
replace the spacer and repeat the preload procedure.
Do not back off the nut to reduce the preload.
23. CHECK DRIVE PINION SHAFT RUNOUT
Measure the drive pinion shaft runout.
Maximum runout: 0.08 mm (0.0031 in.)
24. INSTALL DIFFERENTIAL CASE IN CARRIER (See
page SA-74)
25. INSTALL O-RING
(a) Coat a new O-ring with hypoid gear oil.

shafts.
NOTICE:
Be careful not to damage the side gear shaft and the oil
seal.
HINT:
Whether or not the side gear shaft is in contact with the pinion
shaft can be known by the sound or feeling when driving it in.
30. INSPECT DIFFERENTIAL CARRIER
Using vernier calipers, measure the distance between the mat-
ing surfaces of the 2 side gear shafts, as shown in the illustra-
tion.
Standard distance

REPLACEMENT
1. REMOVE DIFFERENTIAL ASSEMBLY
(See page SA-65)
2. REMOVE DIFFERENTIAL MOUNT CUSHION
Using SST, remove the differential mount cushion.
SST 09316-12010, 09570-24010
NOTICE:
When driving out the mount cushion, be careful not to
touch the member with the SST. Align the SST straight so
that the bolt of the SST is parallel with the center line of the
mount cushion. When installing the bolts to the LH and RH
differential mount cushions, make sure the bolts are
passed through the correct holes in the SST, as shown in
the illustration.
3. INSTALL DIFFERENTIAL MOUNT CUSHION
Using SST, install the cushion so that the marks are positioned,
as shown in the illustration.
SST 09570-24010
NOTICE:
Do not make a mistake with left and right sides or top and
bottom. Set the SST after temporarily installing the differ-
ential mount cushion into the member so as not to be
installed at an angle. To confirm that the differential mount
cushion is aligned straight in relation to the member, check
that the SST is fully in contact with all of the cushion.
