DISASSEMBLY

PROCEDURE

1. FIX REAR DIFFERENTIAL CARRIER ASSEMBLY IN PLACE

2. INSPECT RUNOUT OF REAR DRIVE PINION COMPANION FLANGE SUB-ASSEMBLY REAR

(a) Using a dial indicator, measure the runout of the companion flange vertically and laterally.

Distance from center to runout measurement point:

30 mm (1.18 in.)

Maximum Runout:

Item	Specified Condition
Vertical runout	0.10 mm (0.00394 in.)
Lateral runout	0.10 mm (0.00394 in.)

Text in Illustration

*a	Vertical Runout
*b	Lateral Runout

If the runout is more than the maximum, replace the companion flange.

3. INSPECT RUNOUT OF DIFFERENTIAL RING GEAR

(a) Using a dial indicator, check the runout of the ring gear.

Maximum runout:

0.07 mm (0.00276 in.)

If the runout is more than the maximum, replace the ring gear with a new one.

4. INSPECT DIFFERENTIAL RING GEAR BACKLASH

(a) Using a dial indicator, check the backlash of the ring gear.

Standard backlash:

0.10 to 0.20 mm (0.00394 to 0.00787 in.)

If the backlash is not within the specification, adjust the side bearing preload or perform repairs as necessary.
HINT:

Perform the measurement at 3 or more positions around the circumference of the ring gear.

5. INSPECT DIFFERENTIAL DRIVE PINION PRELOAD

(a) Using a torque wrench, measure the preload of the backlash between the drive pinion and ring gear.

Standard preload (at starting):

0.88 to 1.98 N*m (8.97 to 20.2 kgf*cm, 7.79 to 17.5 in.*lbf)

If necessary, disassemble and inspect the differential.

6. INSPECT TOTAL PRELOAD

(a) Using a torque wrench, measure the preload with the teeth of the drive pinion and ring gear in contact.

(b) Using a torque wrench, measure the total preload.

Standard total preload (at starting):

Drive pinion preload plus 1.08 to 2.38 N*m (11.0 to 24.3 kgf*cm, 9.6 to 21.0 in.*lbf)

If necessary, disassemble and inspect the differential.

7. REMOVE REAR DRIVE PINION NUT

(a) Using SST and a hammer, loosen the staked part of the rear drive pinion nut.

SST: 09930-00010

(b) Use SST to hold the companion flange.

SST: 09330-00021

8. REMOVE REAR DRIVE PINION COMPANION FLANGE SUB-ASSEMBLY

9. REMOVE REAR DIFFERENTIAL CARRIER OIL SEAL

(a) Using SST, remove the rear differential carrier oil seal from the differential carrier.

SST: 09308-10010

10. REMOVE REAR DIFFERENTIAL DRIVE PINION OIL SLINGER

11. REMOVE REAR DRIVE PINION FRONT BEARING (INNER)

(a) Using SST, remove the rear drive pinion front tapered roller bearing (inner) from the drive pinion.

SST: 09556-22010

12. REMOVE DIFFERENTIAL CASE ASSEMBLY

(a) Place matchmarks on the bearing cap and differential carrier.

(b) Remove the 4 bolts and 2 differential bearing caps.

HINT:

Measure the plate washer thickness and note it down.

(d) Remove the rear differential case assembly from the differential carrier.

HINT:

13. REMOVE DIFFERENTIAL DRIVE PINION

(a) Remove the drive pinion and bearing spacer from the differential carrier.

14. REMOVE REAR DRIVE PINION REAR BEARING

(a) Using SST and a press, press out the roller bearing (inner) from the drive pinion.

SST: 09950-00020

NOTICE:

Do not drop the drive pinion.

HINT:

If the drive pinion or ring gear is damaged, replace them as a set.

15. REMOVE REAR DRIVE PINION FRONT BEARING (OUTER)

(a) Using SST, remove the roller bearing (outer) from the carrier.

SST: 09308-00010

(b) Using a brass bar and hammer, tap out the oil storage ring from the carrier.

HINT:

If the bearing is damaged during removal, replace it.

16. REMOVE REAR DRIVE PINION REAR BEARING

(a) Using SST, tap out the rear tapered roller bearing (outer) from the carrier.

SST: 09308-00010

HINT:
