Install a new bearing spacer.

HINT:

Be careful of the installation direction of the spacer.

Using a brass bar and hammer, tap in a new oil storage ring.

NOTICE:

Be careful not to damage the oil storage ring.

   Standard oil seal depth:

   1.0 +/-0.45 mm (0.039 +/-0.018 in.)
   

2. Apply MP grease to the lip of the oil seal.
   

for DANA Made:

1. Using a brass bar and hammer, tap in a new oil seal until its surface is flush with the differential carrier end.
   

   NOTICE:

   Do not damage the oil seal.

2. Apply MP grease to the lip of the oil seal.
   

Using SST, install the companion flange.

Torque:

370 N*m{3770 kgf*cm, 273 ft.*lbf}or less

Using a torque wrench, measure the preload.

Standard preload (at start of torque):

Item	Specified Condition
New bearing	1.05 to 1.64 N*m (11 to 17 kgf*cm, 9.3 to 15 in.*lbf)
Reused bearing	0.56 to 0.85 N*m (6 to 9 kgf*cm, 4.9 to 7.5 in.*lbf)

1. If the result is not as specified, adjust the preload.
   

Using a chisel and hammer, stake the nut.

Stop the vehicle on a level surface.

Remove the differential filler plug and gasket.

Check that the oil level is between 0 to 5 mm (0 to 0.20 in.) from the bottom lip of the differential filler plug hole.

NOTICE:

1. After changing the oil seal, drive the vehicle and then check the oil level again.
   

1. Too much or too little oil will lead to differential problems.
   

HINT:

If necessary, fill the differential carrier assembly with hypoid gear oil.

Recommended viscosity:

Temperature	Viscosity
Above -18°C (0°F)	SAE 90
Below -18°C (0°F)	SAE 85W - 90

Standard oil grade:

Hypoid gear oil API GL-5

Standard front differential oil capacity:

1.40 to 1.50 liters (1.48 to 1.59 US qts., 1.23 to 1.31 Imp. qts.)

Standard rear differential oil capacity:

3.30 to 3.40 liters (3.49 to 3.59 US qts., 2.90 to 2.99 Imp. qts.)

Check for oil leakage when the oil level is low.

Install the differential filler plug with a new gasket.

Torque:

39 N*m{400 kgf*cm, 29 ft.*lbf}for front differential

49 N*m{500 kgf*cm, 36 ft.*lbf}for rear differential

Stop the vehicle on a level surface.

Remove the differential filler plug and gasket.

Check that the oil level is between 0 to 5 mm (0 to 0.20 in.) from the bottom lip of the differential filler plug hole.

NOTICE:

1. After changing the oil seal, drive the vehicle and then check the oil level again.
