Differential Case: Reassembly
- INSPECT FRONT DIFFERENTIAL PINION THRUST WASHER (See INSPECTION )
- INSPECT FRONT DIFFERENTIAL PINION SHAFT NO. 1 (See INSPECTION )
- INSTALL FRONT DIFFERENTIAL SIDE GEAR
- Coat the sliding and rotating surface of the 2 front differential side gears with gear oil.
- Install the 2 front differential side gear thrust washers to the 2 front differential side gears.
HINT:
Install the front differential side gear thrust washer that has the same thickness as the removed one.
- Install the 2 front differential side gears, 2 front differential pinions and 2 front differential side pinion thrust washers to the front differential case.
HINT:
Turning the front differential side gear, align the 2 front differential pinions with the hole of the front differential case.
- INSTALL FRONT DIFFERENTIAL PINION SHAFT NO. 1
- Coat the rotating surface of the front differential pinion shaft No. 1 with gear oil.
- Install the front differential pinion shaft No. 1 to the front differential case so that the hole for the front differential pinion shaft straight pin is aligned with the hole in the front differential case.
- ADJUST FRONT DIFFERENTIAL SIDE GEAR BACKLASH
- Fixing the front differential pinion to the front differential case side. Using a dial indicator, measure the front differential side gear backlash.
Standard backlash: 0.05 to 0.20 mm (0.0020 to 0.0079 in.)
If the backlash is out of specification, replace the side gear thrust washer.

- Because the washer does not have any identification mark, measure the front thickness with a micrometer to select a proper thrust washer.
- Select washers that has the same thickness as both the right and left.
- Fixing the front differential pinion to the front differential case side. Using a dial indicator, measure the front differential side gear backlash.
- INSTALL FRONT DIFFERENTIAL PINION SHAFT STRAIGHT PIN
- Using a pin punch (ø 3 mm) and a hammer, install the front differential pinion shaft straight pin to the front differential case.
- Using a chisel and a hammer, stake the front case hole.
- INSTALL FRONT DIFFERENTIAL RING GEAR
- Clean the contact surface of the front differential case and front differential ring gear.
- Using a heater, heat the front differential ring gear to 90 to 110°C (194.0 to 230.0°F)
- After the moisture on the ring gear has completely evaporated, quickly install the front differential ring gear to the front differential case.
- Align the both matchmarks, quickly install the 8 bolts with the front differential ring gear to the front differential case.
Torque: 77 N*m (789 kgf*cm, 57 ft.*lbf)
- INSTALL SPEEDOMETER DRIVE (MTM) GEAR
- Install the speedometer drive (MTM) gear to the front differential case.
