Rear Differential Center Case Replacement

Rear Differential Center Case Replacement

1. Remove the rear differential. Rear Differential Removal

2. Remove the rear differential front mounting brackets (A) from the rear differential (B).






3. Disconnect the rear differential fluid temperature sensor 2P connector (A), then remove the rear differential fluid temperature sensor cover (B), the rear differential fluid temperature sensor (C), and the O-ring (D).






4. Disconnect the left and right solenoid 4P connectors (A).

5. Remove the ground cable bolt (B) and rear differential harness bracket D, then remove the rear differential subharness (C).






6. Remove the rear differential left side case (A), the rear differential right side case (B), and the 10 x 12 mm dowel pins (C) from the rear differential center case (D).

7. Replace the rear differential center case.






8. Remove the dirt and oil from the sealing surfaces. Apply liquid gasket (P/N 08717-0004, 08718-0001, 08718-0003, or 08718-0009) to the sealing surface. Make sure you seal up to the inside edge of the bolt holes to prevent oil leakage.
NOTE:

- You must assemble the housings within 5 minutes after applying the liquid gasket. If you applied liquid gasket P/N 08718-0012, the component must be installed within 4 minutes. If not, the sealing surface must be cleaned, and the liquid gasket reapplied.

- Allow the liquid gasket to cure at least 30 minutes after assembly before filling the differential with fluid.

Left side case/Right side case





9. Install the 10 x 12 mm dowel pins (A), the rear differential right side case (B), the rear differential left side case (C), and the mounting bolts (D) onto the rear differential center case (E).

10. Tighten the mounting bolts in a crisscross pattern in several steps, then tighten the bolts to the specified torque.






11. Install the rear differential subharness (A) and rear differential harness bracket D, and install the ground cable (B).

12. Connect the left and right solenoid 4P connectors (C).






13. Install the rear differential fluid temperature sensor (A) with a new O-ring (B), and install the rear differential fluid temperature sensor cover (C)

14. Connect the rear differential fluid temperature sensor 2P connector (D).






15. Install the rear differential front mounting brackets (A) with new bolts (B) on the rear differential (C).

16. Install the rear differential. Rear Differential Installation
