Differential Case: Reassembly
- INSTALL FRONT DIFFERENTIAL SIDE GEAR
- Coat the sliding and rotating surfaces of the front differential side gears with gear oil.
- Install the 2 front No. 1 differential side gear thrust washers onto the 2 front differential side gears.
- Install the 2 front differential side gears, 2 front differential pinions, and 2 front differential pinion thrust washers onto the front differential case.
HINT:
While rotating the front differential side gears, install the 2 front differential pinions and 2 front differential pinion thrust washers.
- INSTALL FRONT NO. 1 DIFFERENTIAL PINION SHAFT
- Coat the front No. 1 differential pinion shaft with MP grease.
- Install the front No. 1 differential pinion shaft onto 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
- Install 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 (0.00197 to 0.00787 in.)
If the backlash is out of specification, replace the side gear thrust washers.

- Measure the thickness with a micrometer to select a proper thrust washer because the thrust washers do not have any distinguishing marks.
- Select washers of the same thickness for both the right and left sides.
- Install 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 (ø3 mm) and a hammer, install the front differential pinion shaft straight pin onto the front differential case.
- Using a chisel and a hammer, stake the front differential case hole.
- INSTALL FRONT DIFFERENTIAL RING GEAR
- Clean the contact surfaces of the front differential case and ring gear.
- Using a heater, heat the front differential ring gear to 90 to 110°C (194 to 230°F).
- After moisture on the ring gear has completely evaporated, align the matchmarks and quickly install the front differential ring gear onto the front differential case.
- Install the 8 bolts.
Torque: 77 N*m (790 kgf*cm, 57 ft.*lbf)
- INSTALL SPEEDOMETER DRIVE GEAR
- Install the speedometer drive gear onto the front differential case.
