4.

Insert pinion mate shaft into differential case.

CAUTION:

Be sure not to damage pinion mate thrust washers.

5.

Measure end play of side gears following the procedure below.
Then select side gear thrust washer.

a.

Put differential case vertically so that its side gear to be mea-
sured faces upward.

b.

Place the drift and a dial indicator onto side gears.

c.

Move side gears up and down to measure the clearance and
select thrust washer so that it satisfies the standard value.

CAUTION:

• There should be no resistance and gears should rotate

freely.

• Place differential case upside down. Measure the end play

for opposite side-gears likewise securely.

• Only one thrust washer can be selected.

6.

Install retaining pin into pinion mate shaft using a pin punch.

CAUTION:

Never reuse retaining pin.

7.

Install reduction gear into differential case and tighten reduction
gear mounting bolts to the specified torque.

8.

Press in differential side bearing (clutch housing side) to differ-
ential case using the drifts.

CAUTION:

Replace differential side bearing and differential side bear-
ing outer race as a set.

9.

Press in differential side bearing (transaxle case side) to differ-
ential case using the drifts.

CAUTION:

Replace differential side bearing and differential side bear-
ing outer race as a set.

10. Install final gear into differential case and tighten final gear

mounting bolts to the specified torque.

1.

Install output gear bearing (1) to output gear (2) using the drift
(A) [Commercial service tool].

CAUTION:

Be careful with the orientation of output gear bearing.

2.

Install snap ring (1) onto output gear and make sure that end
play (gap between snap ring and groove) of output gear bearing
satisfies the standard value.

CAUTION:

• Only one snap ring can be selected.
• Never reuse snap ring.
• Never align snap ring notch with output gear groove (A)

when assembling.

3.

Install snap ring following the procedures below.

CAUTION:

If the following steps b and c are not performed when installing snap ring, it may become detached
from output gear.

a.

Press (A) of the snap ring (1) against (B) of the output gear (2).

CAUTION:

Never reuse snap ring.

b.

Press snap ring from the direction shown in the figure. Tempo-
rarily install it so that the rim of snap ring contacts with (C) of out-
put gear.

CAUTION:

• When compressing snap ring, outside diameter of snap

ring must not become 46 mm (1.81 in) or less.

• Never press snap ring excessively.
• Never insert snap ring in (D) of output gear.

c.

Evenly press snap ring in the axial direction to install it on (D) of
output gear.

CAUTION:

• Securely install snap ring on (D) of output gear.

Inspection

INFOID:0000000001034970

INSPECTION BEFORE DISASSEMBLY

Check the clearance between side gear and differential case as fol-
lows.
1.

Clean final drive assembly sufficiently to prevent side gear thrust
washer, differential case, side gear, and other parts from sticking
by gear oil.

2.

Put differential case vertically so that side gear to be measured faces upward.

3.

Place the drift and a dial indicator onto side gear. Move side
gear up and down, and measure the clearance.

CAUTION:

There should be no resistance and gears should rotate
freely.

4.

If not within specification, adjust the clearance by changing side
gear thrust washer thickness.

5.

Turn differential case upside down and measure the clearance between side gear and differential case on
the other side in the same way.

INSPECTION AFTER DISASSEMBLY

Gear, Washer, Shaft, and Case

• Check side gears, side gear thrust washers, pinion mate shaft, pin-

ion mate gears, pinion mate thrust washers and differential case. If
necessary, replace with a new one.
