Disassembly of Differential

1. REMOVE CARRIER COVER




2. MEASURE TOTAL PRELOAD
Using a torque meter, measure the total preload, and make a note of it.




3. MEASURE BACKLASH OF SIDE GEAR
Measure each side gear backlash while holding one pinion toward the case.

Standard backlash: 0.05 - 0.20 mm (0.0020 - 0.0079 in.)





4. REMOVE LH BEARING RETAINER
a. Remove the five bolts.
b. Tap the retainer with a plastic hammer to remove it.
c. Remove the O-ring from the retainer.

5. REMOVE DIFFERENTIAL CASE




a. Remove the two bolts and side bearing cap.




b. Remove the differential case, outer race and adjusting shim from the case.




6. MEASURE DRIVE PINION PRELOAD
Using a torque meter, measure the drive pinion preload.

Preload (at starting): Reused bearing
5 - 8 kg-cm (4.3 - 6.9 in.-lb, 0.5 - 0.8 N.m)

The total preload measured in step 2, minus the drive pinion preload, equals 1.5 - 2.0 kg-cm (1.3 - 1.7 in.-lb, 0.1 - 0.2 N.m). If the result is not within this specification, the side bearing preload is wrong.




7. REMOVE DRIVE PINION CAP
Remove the bolt and pull out the drive pinion cap.

8. REMOVE COUNTER DRIVEN GEAR




a. Using a chisel, loosen the staked part of the nut.




b. Using SST to hold the gear, remove the nut.
SST 09330-00021, 09350-32014 (09351-32032)




c. Using SST, remove the gear and bearing.
SST 09350-32014 (09351-32061)




9. REMOVE OUTER RACE, OIL SINGER AND SPACER

a. Using SST, remove the outer race.
SST 09350-32014 (09308-10010)
b. Remove the oil slinger and spacer.

10. REMOVE DRIVE PINION




a. Using SST, remove the snap ring.
SST 09350-32014 (09351-32050)




b. Insert the brass bar into the case hole to tap out the drive pinion.




c. Remove the drive pinion.




d. Remove the O-ring from the cage.
