18. INSTALL FRONT DIFFERENTIAL CARRIER OIL SEAL





(a) Using SST and a hammer, tap in a new oil seal.
SST: 09309-36010
SST: 09502-24010
Standard depth:
6.2 to 7.2 mm (0.0244 to 0.0283 in.)
- Using a vernier caliper, measure the depth of the oil seal.
- Measure at 3 or more areas around the circumference of the oil seal
- Make sure the difference between the maximum and minimum measured values is less than 0.75 mm (0.0295 in.), as a greater difference may lead to oil leaks.
- Tap the oil seal uniformly so that the oil seal is straight.
- Do not excessively tap the oil seal.
HINT: First, uniformly tap in the oil seal until it is flush with the edge of the carrier, then tap it little by little until the depth is within the standard range.

(b) Apply MP grease to the lip of the oil seal.
