Differential Case (For Sedan) -- Disassembly |
1. REMOVE SPEEDOMETER DRIVE GEAR |
Remove the speedometer drive gear from the front differential case.
2. REMOVE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL RING GEAR |
Place matchmarks on the front differential ring gear and the front differential case.
Remove the 8 bolts.
Using a plastic hammer, remove the front differential ring gear from the front differential case.
3. INSPECT FRONT DIFFERENTIAL SIDE GEAR BACKLASH |
Fix the front differential pinion to the front differential case side. Using a dial indicator, measure the front differential side gear backlash.
- Standard backlash:
- 0.05 to 0.20 mm (0.0020 to 0.0079 in.)
If the backlash is outside the specifications, replace the side gear thrust washers.
4. REMOVE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL PINION SHAFT STRAIGHT PIN |
Using a chisel and a hammer, loosen the staked part of the front differential case.
Using a pin punch (φ3 mm) and a hammer, remove the front differential pinion shaft straight pin from the front differential case.
5. REMOVE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL PINION SHAFT NO.1 |
Remove front differential pinion shaft No. 1 from the front differential case.
6. REMOVE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL SIDE GEAR |
Remove the 2 front differential pinions, 2 front differential pinion thrust washers, 2 front differential side gear thrust washers No. 1 and 2 front differential side gears from the front differential case.
- HINT:
- Revolving the front differential pinion, remove the 2 pinions and 2 side gears.
