INSPECT SIDE GEAR BACKLASH  
Using a dial indicator, measure the backlash of one side gear  
while holding one pinion toward the case.  
Standard backlash: 0.05–0.20 mm (0.0020–0.0079 in.)  
If the backlash is not within the specification, install the correct  
thrust washer to the side gears.

REASSEMBLY  
1.  
ASSEMBLE DIFFERENTIAL CASE  
(a) Install the correct thrust washers and side gears. Refer to  
the table below, select thrust washers which will allow that  
the backlash is within the specification. Try to select  
washers of the same size for both sides.

Install the thrust washers and side gears in the differential  
case.  
(b) Install the pinion shaft.  
(c) Inspect the side gear backlash.  
Using a dial indicator, measure the side gear backlash  
while holding one pinion gear toward the case.  
Standard backlash: 0.05–0.20 mm (0.0020–0.0079 in.)  
If the backlash is not within the specification, install a thrust  
washer of different thickness.  
(d) Using a pin punch and hammer, drive in the straight pin  
through the case and hole in the pinion shaft.  
(e) Stake the differential case.

2.  
INSTALL RING GEAR ON DIFFERENTIAL CASE  
(a) Clean the contact surface of the differential case and the  
threads of the ring gear and differential case.  
(b) Heat the ring gear in boiling water.  
(c) Carefully remove the ring gear from the water.  
(d) After moisture on the ring gear has completely evapo-  
rated, quickly install the ring gear to the differential case.  
HINT:  
Align the matchmark on the differential case with the one on the  
ring gear.  
(e) Temporarily install the 8 bolts.  
NOTICE:  
The ring gear set bolts should not be torqued until the ring  
gear has cooled sufficiently.  
(f)  
After the ring gear has cooled sufficiently, torque the ring  
gear set bolts.  
Torque: 83 N·m (850 kgf·cm, 61 ft·lbf)

(g) Using SST and a torque wrench, measure the preload.  
SST 09564–32011  
Preload (at starting):  
1.0–1.6 N·m (10–16 kgf·cm, 8.7–13.9 in.·lbf)  
If the preload is not within the specification, remove the trans-  
mission case side bearing retainer. Select another shim.  
HINT:  
SST  
The preload will change by approx. 0.3–0.4 N·m (3–4 kgf·cm,  
2.6–3.5 in.·lbf) corresponding to a change of 0.05 mm in shim  
thickness.
