Kia Carens. Instruction — part 127

2. Set transaxle case on a stand and install SST (0K130 191 A07).

3. Tighten SST (0K130 191 A06) to specified torque.

Tightening torque : 27~38 lb-ft (36~51 N·m, 3.7~5.3 kg-m)

4. Set differential assembly into converter housing.

Eliminate gap (arrow) by turning either A or B of selector. Do not overtighten.

5. Install side bearing outer race removed from transaxle case into SST (0K201 175 A01). Set SST and outer

race onto differential assembly.

6. Set SST (0K130 175 A02) on converter housing in positions shown.

7. To seat bearing, turn SST (0K201 175 A01) to increase clearance indicated by arrow with SST (0K130 175

A03) until it no longer turns.

8. Turn selector in opposite direction until gap is reduced.

9. Insert SST through transaxle case and attach it to pinion shaft.

10. Install torque meter.

Read preload when differential is rotating.

11. Adjust clearance between A and B to obtain specified preload reading.

Preload : 4.3 lb-in (0.5 N·m, 0.05 kg)

12. Measure clearance between A and B.

13. Add 0.0118 in (0.3 mm) to measured clearance and select shim(s) closest in value to measurement.

1) Measure clearance around entire circumference and select shims based on maximum clearance.
2) The maximum allowable number of shims is 3.

14. Remove transaxle case.

15. Install required shim(s) and tap bearing race into transaxle case.

16. Install transaxle case.

Tightening torque : 28~38 lb-ft (38~51 N·m, 3.8~5.1 kg-m)

17. Using SST (0K130 191 A05) and a torque meter, verify that preload is within specification. If not within

specification, return to Step 1.

Preload : 27.6~33.6 lb-in (3.0~3.9 N·m, 30~40 kg-cm)

18. Remove transaxle case.

Disassembly

1. Before disassembly, inspect backlash of side gears and pinion gears, refer to Preinspection.

2. Disassemble in order shown in figure, refer to Disassembly note.

3. Inspect all parts and repair or replace as necessary.

4. Assemble in reverse order of disassembly, refer to Assembly note.

5. Measure backlash after assembly, refer to Backlash of side gear and pinion gear.

Preinspection

Backlash of side gear and pinion gear

Measure backlash by following procedure :

1. Install left driveshaft and right joint shaft in differential assembly.

2. Support shafts on V-blocks as shown in figure.

3. Measure backlash of both pinion gears.

Backlash : 0.002 ~ 0.006 in (0.05~0.15 mm)

4. If not as specified, replace worn and damaged parts.

Disassembly note

Bearing (ring gear opposite side)

Do not remove the bearing unless you are replaceing it.

1. Remove bearing by using SST(0K130 171 013).

Side bearing inner race

Be careful not to drop differential case.

1. Using SST (0K670 990 AA0), remove side bearing inner race (opposite side of ring gear).

Bearing (ring gear side)

1. Remove earing by using SST(0K670 990 AA0).

Inspection

1. Inspect all parts and repair or repalce as necessary.

Ring gear and gear case assembly

1. Inspect ring gear for wear and cracks. If gear case is replaced, adjust bearing preload.
