Differential Case Reassembly

Coat the 2 front differential side gears, 2 side gear thrust washers, 2 front differential pinions and 2 pinion thrust washers with ATF, and install them to the differential case.

Coat the front differential pinion shaft with ATF, and install it to the differential case.

Using a dial indicator, measure the backlash of the side gear.

Standard backlash:

0.05 to 0.20 mm (0.0020 to 0.0070 in.)

Standard thrust washer thickness:

Thickness	Thickness
1.0 mm (0.0394 in.)	1.2 mm (0.0472 in.)
1.1 mm (0.0433 in.)	1.3 mm (0.0512 in.)

Using a pin punch and hammer, tap in the pinion shaft straight pin.

Using a chisel and hammer, stake the differential case.

Using SST and a press, press in the front differential case tapered roller bearing rear inner race to the differential case.

Using ATF and heater, heat the front differential ring gear to 90 to 110°C (194.0 to 230.0°F).

Clean the contact surface of the front differential case.

Align the matchmarks, and install the front differential ring gear case quickly.

Tighten the 10 bolts.
