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 No. 1 differential pinion shaft with ATF, and install it to the differential case.

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

Using a chisel and hammer, stake the differential case.

NOTICE:

Stake it after adjusting the backlash.

Using SST and a press, install the front differential case front tapered roller bearing to the differential case.

NOTICE:

Clearance is not allowed between the bearing and transaxle housing.

Install the differential assembly to the transaxle case.

Clean the matching surfaces of the transaxle case and transaxle housing.

Install the transaxle housing to the transaxle case and tighten them with the 16 bolts.

Torque:

Bolt A:

22 N*m{225 kgf*cm, 16 ft.*lbf}

Bolt B, C:

29 N*m{299 kgf*cm, 22 ft.*lbf}

Bolt length:

Bolt A:

50 mm (1.969 in.)

Bolt B:

50 mm (1.969 in.)

Bolt C:

42 mm (1.654 in.)

Using SST, turn the differential assembly right and left 2 or 3 times to settle the bearing.

Using SST and a torque wrench, measure the turning torque of the differential.

SST

09564-32011

Turning torque at 60 rpm:

New bearing:

0.20 to 0.69 N*m (2.0 to 7.0 kgf*cm, 1.8 to 6.1 in.*lbf)

Used bearing:

0.10 to 0.35 N*m (1.0 to 3.6 kgf*cm, 0.9 to 3.1 in.*lbf)

HINT:

If the turning torque is not within the specified range, refer to the table below to select a thrust washer so that the turning torque is within the specified range.

Remove the 16 bolts and the transaxle housing.

Remove the differential assembly.

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

NOTICE:

Do not overheat the ring gear over 110°C (230.0°F).

Clean the contact surface of the front differential case.

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

NOTICE:

Do not install the bolts while the ring gear is hot.

Tighten the 10 bolts.

Torque:

95 N*m{970 kgf*cm, 70 ft.*lbf}

NOTICE:

Tighten the bolts a little at a time in diagonal order.

Using SST and a hammer, drive in a new oil seal.
