Thrust washer Assembly Note: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
- Assemble the side gears, thrust washers and pinion gears to the gear case, then assemble the knock pin.
- After assembling the knock pin, make a crimp so that the pin will not come out of the gear case.
- Set a dial gauge to the pinion gear as indicated in the figure.
- Secure one of the side gears.
- Move the pinion gear and measure the backlash at the end of the pinion gear.
- If the backlash exceeds the standard, use the thrust washers to adjust.
