NOTICE:

1. Make sure the LH and RH oil seals are installed to the proper locations.
   
2. As a different side of SST is used for each oil seal, be sure to confirm that the correct side of SST is being used before tapping in an oil seal.
   
3. Make sure that the lip of the oil seal is inserted into SST before tapping in the oil seal.
   
4. As each side of SST is designed to tap in the corresponding oil seal to the proper depth, be sure to fully tap in the oil seal.
   
5. Do not damage the oil seals.
   

Standard Oil Seal Depth:

Item	Specified Condition
for LH Side	2.9 +/-0.45 mm (0.114 +/-0.0177 in.)
for RH Side	8.1 +/-0.45 mm (0.319 +/-0.0177 in.)

Apply MP grease to the lip of each oil seal.

Add differential oil so that the oil level is within 5 mm (0 to 0.196 in.) from the bottom lip of the differential filler plug hole.

NOTICE:

1. After changing the oil, drive the vehicle, and then check the oil level again.
   
2. Too much or too little oil will lead to differential problems.
