Using a dial indicator, measure the runout of the companion flange vertically and laterally.

• Maximum Runout:

• Runout	Specified Condition
  Vertical runout	0.10 mm (0.00394 in.)
  Lateral runout	0.10 mm (0.00394 in.)

If the runout is more than the maximum, replace the companion flange.

Using a dial indicator, measure the ring gear runout.

• Maximum runout:
• 0.05 mm (0.00197 in.)

If the runout is more than the maximum, replace the ring gear.

Using a dial indicator, measure the ring gear backlash.

• Standard backlash:
• 0.10 to 0.20 mm (0.00394 to 0.00787 in.)

• HINT:

• Measure at 3 or more positions around the circumference of the ring gear.

If the backlash is not as specified, adjust the side bearing preload or repair as necessary.

Using SST and a hammer, unstake the nut.

• SST
• 09930-00010

Using SST to hold the flange, remove the nut.

• SST
• 09330-00021(09330-00030)

Using SST, remove the companion flange.

• SST
• 09950-30012(09951-03010,09953-03010,09954-03010,09955-03030,09956-03040)

Using SST, remove the oil seal from the differential carrier.

• SST
• 09308-10010

Using SST, remove the front bearing (inner race) from the drive pinion.

• SST
• 09556-22010

If the front bearing is damaged or worn, replace the bearing.

Remove the 2 bolts and 2 adjusting nut locks.

Place matchmarks on the bearing caps and differential carrier.

Remove the 4 bolts, 2 bearing caps, 2 adjusting nuts and 2 bearings (outer race).

Remove the differential case from the differential carrier.

• HINT:

• Tag the 2 case bearing outer races to show the location for reassembly.

Remove the differential drive pinion from the differential carrier.

Using SST and a press, press out the bearing (inner race).

• SST
• 09950-00020

If either the drive pinion or ring gear is damaged, replace them as a set.

Using a brass bar and hammer, tap out the bearing (outer race).

Using a brass bar and hammer, tap out the bearing (outer race).

Place matchmarks on the ring gear and differential case.

Remove the 12 ring gear set bolts.

Using a plastic-faced hammer, tap on the ring gear to separate it from the differential case.

Install the differential case to the differential carrier.

Using a dial indicator, measure the differential case runout.

• Maximum runout:
• 0.04 mm (0.00157 in.)

If the runout is more than the maximum, replace the differential case and side bearings as a set.

Remove the differential case from the differential carrier.

Using SST, remove the 2 side bearings (inner race) from the differential case.

• SST
• 09950-00020
  09950-00030
  09950-40011(09957-04010)
  09950-60010(09951-00480)

Place matchmarks on the differential case LH and RH.

Remove the 8 bolts uniformly, a little at a time.

Using a plastic-faced hammer, separate the differential case LH and RH.

Remove the 2 side gears, 6 side gear thrust washers, 4 clutch plates, 2 spring retainers, compression spring, 4 pinion gears, 4 pinion gear thrust washers and spider from the differential case.

• HINT:

If replacing a side gear, also replace the thrust washer that contacts it.

Using a micrometer, check that the thickness of the thrust washer is even.

• Thickness (Reference):
• 1.97 to 2.06 mm (0.0776 to 0.0811 in.)

If necessary, replace the thrust washer.

Visually check the thrust washer.

If bare metal is showing, replace the thrust washer.

Using a micrometer, check that the thickness of the clutch plate is even.

• Thickness (Reference):
• 1.97 to 2.03 mm (0.0776 to 0.0799 in.)

If necessary, replace the clutch plate.

Using vernier caliper, measure the free length of the spring.

• Length (Reference):
• 32.8 mm (1.29134 in.)

If necessary, replace the compression spring.
