ASSEMBLY
NOTE:
• Assemble in the reverse order of disassembly.
• Check and adjust each part during assembly.
• Keep the shims and washers in order, so that they are not improperly installed.
• Thoroughly clean the surfaces on which the shims, washers and bearings are to be installed.
• Apply differential gear oil when installing the bearings and thrust washers.
• Be careful not to mix up the RH and LH bearing races.
• Replace the gasket, oil seal and O-ring with a new part.
• Be careful not to mix up the rear differential side oil seal RH and LH.
• Apply differential gear oil to the lips when installing the oil seal.
1. Adjusting preload for front and rear bearings
NOTE:
Adjust the bearing preload between front and rear bearings with preload adjusting spacer and washer. Pinion height adjusting washer is not affected by this adjustment. The adjustment must not be carried out with oil seal inserted.
(1) Install the rear bearing race into the differential carrier using ST1 and ST2.

| ST2 398477703 | DRIFT 2 |
(2) Install the front bearing race to the differential carrier using ST1 and ST2.
NOTE:
Use a new front bearing race.
| ST1 398477701 | HANDLE |
| ST2 398477702 | DRIFT |
(3) Insert ST1 into the differential carrier with the pinion height adjusting washer and rear bearing cone fitted onto it.
NOTE:
• At this time, install a provisionally selected or previously used pinion height adjusting washer. Measure and record the thickness.
• If tooth contact (drive pinion, hypoid driven gear) is normal in the inspection before disassembling, verify that the washer is not deformed, and then re-use the used washer.
(4) Install the preload adjusting spacer and washer, front bearing cone, ST2, companion flange and self-locking nut.
NOTE:
Use new front bearing cone.

(5) Turn the ST1 by hand to smooth the bearing, and tighten the self-locking nut while measuring the initial load or initial torque with a spring scale or torque wrench. Select the preload adjusting washer and spacer so that the specified preload is obtained when nut is tightened to the specified torque.
NOTE:
• Use a new self-locking nut.
• Measure the preload in direction of tangent to the flange.
• Be careful not to give excessive preload.
• When tightening the self-locking nut, lock ST1 with ST2 as shown in the figure.

| ST2 398507701 | DIFFERENTIAL CARRIER GAUGE |
(3) Obtain the thickness of pinion height adjusting washer to be inserted from the following formula, and replace the temporarily installed washer with this one.
T = To + N − (H ? 0.01) − 0.20 mm (0.0079 in)
T | Thickness of pinion height adjusting washer mm (in) |
|
To | Thickness of washer temporarily inserted mm (in) |
|
N | Clearance of thickness gauge mm (in) |
|
H | Figure marked on drive pinion head |
|
Memo:
| ||
(Example of calculation)
To = 3.39 mm (0.1335 in)
N = 0.24 mm (0.0094 in)
H = + 1
T = 3.39 mm (0.1335 in) + 0.24 mm (0.0094 in) − 0.01 mm (0.0004 in) − 0.20 mm (0.0079 in) = 3.42 mm (0.1346 in)
Result: Thickness = 3.42 mm (0.1346 in)
Therefore use washer 383605200.

(B) | Arrow mark (on the differential carrier) |
(5) Tighten the side retainer bolts.
Tightening torque:
10.5 N·m (1.1 kgf-m, 7.7 ft-lb)
(6) Measure the hypoid driven gear to drive pinion backlash. Set the magnet base on differential carrier. Align the contact point of dial gauge with tooth face of hypoid driven gear, and move hypoid driven gear while holding drive pinion still. Read the value indicated on dial gauge. If the backlash is outside the standard range, adjust the side retainer shim by the following method.
•When backlash is less than 0.1 mm (0.004 in):
Reduce the thickness of shim on the back side of the hypoid driven gear and increase the thickness of shims on the teeth side of the hypoid driven gear.
•When backlash exceeds 0.2 mm (0.008 in):
Increase the thickness of shim on the back side of the hypoid driven gear and reduce the thickness of shims on the teeth side of the hypoid driven gear.
Backlash:
0.10 — 0.20 mm (0.004 — 0.008 in)
(7) Measure the total preload of the drive pinion. If the total preload is outside the specification range, adjust the thickness of side retainer shims, increasing/reducing both shims by an even amount at a time.
Total preload:
20.7 — 54.4 N (2.1 — 5.5 kgf, 4.7 — 12.2 lbf)
17. Recheck the hypoid driven gear to drive pinion backlash.
Backlash:
0.10 — 0.20 mm (0.004 — 0.008 in)
18. Check pinion and hypoid driven gears rotate smoothly and make sure of the hypoid driven gear runout on its back surface. If the hypoid driven gear runout on its back surface exceeds the specification, check for any foreign objects between the hypoid driven gear and differential case, and for any deformation of the differential case or hypoid driven gear.
Hypoid driven gear back surface runout:
0.05 mm (0.002 in)
19. Check and adjustment of the tooth contact of hypoid driven gear and drive pinion
(1) Apply lead-free red dye evenly on the both sides of three to four teeth of the hypoid driven gear. Check the contact pattern after rotating the hypoid driven gear several revolutions back and forth until a definite contact pattern appears on the hypoid driven gear.
(2) When the contact pattern is not correct, readjust.
NOTE:
Be sure to wipe off the lead-free red dye completely after the adjustment is completed.
• Correct tooth contact
Check item: Tooth contact pattern is slightly shifted toward toe side under no-load rotation. (When driving, it moves towards the heel side.)
(A) | Toe side |
(B) | Heel side |
• Face contact
Check item: Backlash is too large.
Contact pattern
Corrective action: Increase thickness of pinion height adjusting washer according to the procedure for bringing drive pinion close to hypoid driven gear side.
• Flank contact
Check item: Backlash is too small.
Contact pattern
Corrective action: Reduce the thickness of pinion height adjusting washer according to the procedure for bringing drive pinion away from hypoid driven gear.
