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.
  1. INSTALL REAR DIFFERENTIAL CARRIER ASSEMBLY 
    1. Place the rear differential carrier assembly on a transmission jack
      CAUTION:
      • 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.
    2. Slowly raise the transmission jack so that the rear differential carrier is at its installation position
      NOTE: When installing the rear differential carrier assembly, do not damage the installation surface.
    3. Temporarily install the rear differential mount stopper upper and lower with 2 new bolts (B).

    5. Temporarily install 2 new bolts (A).
    6. Temporarily install a new bolt (C).
    7. 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.
    8. 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) 

      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.
    9. 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.
  2. INSTALL DRIVE SHAFT ASSEMBLY 
    1. Install the drive shaft assembly LH and RH (see INSPECTION ).
  3. ADD DIFFERENTIAL OIL  (See REPLACEMENT  )
