If matching marks are required, be certain they do not interfere with the function of the parts when applied. q Overhaul should be done in a clean work area, it is preferable to work in dustproof area. q Before disassembly, using steam or white gasoline, completely remove sand and mud from the exterior of the unit, preventing them from entering into the unit during disassembly or assembly. q Check appearance of the disassembled parts for damage, deformation, and unusual wear. Replace them with a new ones if necessary. q Gaskets, seals and O-rings should be replaced any time when the unit is disassembled. q In principle, tighten bolts or nuts gradually in several steps working diagonally from inside to outside. If tightening sequence is specified, observe it. q Clean and flush the parts sufficiently and blow-dry them. q Be careful not to damage sliding surfaces and mating surfaces. q When applying sealant, remove the old sealant from the mounting surface; then remove any moisture, oil, and foreign materials from the application and mounting surfaces. q Always use shop paper for cleaning the inside of components. q Avoid using cotton gloves or shop rags to prevent entering of lint. q During assembly, observe the specified tightening torque, and apply new gear oil, petroleum jelly, or multipurpose grease as specified for each vehicle, if necessary.

Adjust the pinion bearing preload and side bearing preload. Adjust the pinion bearing preload first, then adjust the side bearing preload. PDIA0635E When the preload torque is large On pinion bearings: Replace the collapsible spacer. On side bearings: Use thinner side bearing adjusting washers by the same amount to each side. Refer to RFD-60, "Side Bearing Adjusting Washer" . When the preload is small On pinion bearings: Tighten the drive pinion lock nut. On side bearings: Use thicker side bearing adjusting washers by the same amount to each side. Refer to RFD-60, "Side Bearing Adjusting Washer" . Drive Gear Runout 1. Remove rear cover.

Then, inspect if the parts are worn or damaged. If so, follow the measures below. Content Hypoid gear Bearing Side gear and Pinion mate gear Side gear thrust washer and pinion mate thrust washer Oil seal Conditions and Measures q If the gear teeth do not mesh or line-up correctly, determine the cause and adjust or replace as nec- essary. q If the gears are worn, cracked, damaged, pitted or chipped (by friction) noticeably, replace with new drive gear and drive pinion as a set. q If any chipped (by friction), pitted, worn, rusted or scratched mark, or unusual noise from the bearing is observed, replace as a bearing assembly (as a new set). q If any cracks or damage on the surface of the tooth is found, replace. q If any worn or chipped mark on the contact sides of the thrust washer is found, replace. q If it is chipped (by friction), damaged, or unusually worn, replace. q Whenever disassembled, replace. q If wear, deterioration of adherence (sealing force lips), or damage is detected on the lips, replace them. Differential case q If any wear or crack on the contact sides of the differential case is found, replace. Companion flange q If any chipped mark (about 0.1 mm, 0.004 in) or other damage on the contact sides of the lips of the companion flange is found, replace. ADJUSTMENT AND SELECTION OF ADJUSTING WASHERS Differential Side Gear Clearance q Assemble the differential parts if they are disassembled. Refer to RFD-44, "Differential Assembly" . 1. Place differential assembly so that right side gear is on the upper side. 2. Measure the clearance between right side gear back and differ- ential case using feeler gauge, while rotating right side gear with a suitable tool attached to splines. Side gear back clearance specification: 0.15 mm (0.0059 in) or less. (Each gear should rotate smoothly without excessive resistance during differential motion.) CAUTION: q Do not place feeler gauge at groove side of differential case. q To prevent side gear from tilting, insert feeler gauges with the same thickness from both sides. PDIA0641E 3. If the back clearance is outside the specification, use a thicker/thinner side gear thrust washer to adjust. Refer to RFD-60, "Side Gear Thrust Washer" . When the back clearance is large: Use a thicker thrust washer. When the back clearance is small: Use a thinner thrust washer.
