Rear Differential Assembly: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Mazda MX-5 Miata. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
- The engine stand is equipped with a self-lock mechanism, however, if the rear differential is tilted, the self-lock mechanism could become inoperative. If the rear differential unexpectedly rotates, it could cause injury, therefore do not maintain the rear differential tilted. When turning the rear differential, grasp the rotation handle firmly.
NOTE:
- Clean away the old silicone sealant before applying the new silicone sealant.
- Install the rear cover within 10 min after applying the silicone sealant.
- Allow the sealant to set at least 30 min or more after installation before filling the differential with differential oil.
- Assemble in the order indicated in Fig 1 .
