Differential Carrier Assembly: Installation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Lexus LS 600hL. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- INSTALL REAR DIFFERENTIAL CARRIER ASSEMBLY
- Place the rear differential carrier assembly on a transmission jackCAUTION:
- As the rear differential carrier assembly is very heavy, securely support it with a transmission jack.
- Perform this procedure with several people supporting the rear differential carrier assembly so that it does not tilt or fall.
- Slowly raise the transmission jack so that the rear differential carrier is at its installation positionNOTE: When installing the rear differential carrier assembly, do not damage the installation surface.
- Temporarily install the rear differential mount stopper upper and lower with 2 new bolts (B).
- Temporarily install 2 new bolts (A).
- Temporarily install a new bolt (C).
- Using SST and a 12 mm socket hexagon wrench, tighten the 2 bolts (A).
SST 09961-00950
Torque: without SST
103 N*m (1050 kgf*cm, 76 ft.*lbf)
with SST
75 N*m (765 kgf*cm, 55 ft.*lbf)
NOTE:- Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 400 mm (15.7 in.)
- The torque value for use with SST is effective when SST is parallel to the torque wrench.
- Tighten the bolts so that they do not interfere with the bolt holes of the mount cushions.
- Using SST and a 12 mm socket hexagon wrench, tighten the bolt (C).
Torque: without SST
103 N*m (1050 kgf*cm, 76 ft.*lbf)

- Tighten the bolts so that they do not interfere with the bolt holes of the mount cushions.
- Tighten the 2 bolts (B).
Torque: 105 N*m (1071 kgf*cm, 77 ft.*lbf)
NOTE: Make sure that the rear differential mount stopper upper and lower are not shifted or tilted.
- Place the rear differential carrier assembly on a transmission jack
- INSTALL DRIVE SHAFT ASSEMBLY
- Install the drive shaft assembly LH and RH (see INSPECTION ).
- ADD DIFFERENTIAL OIL (See REPLACEMENT )
