  1. Remove the 8 bolts.

  1. Using a plastic hammer, remove the front differential ring gear from the front differential case.



2. INSPECT FRONT DIFFERENTIAL SIDE GEAR BACKLASH


    C193757

  1. Install the front differential pinion to the front differential case side. Using a dial indicator, measure the front differential side gear backlash.

    Standard backlash:
    0.05 to 0.20 mm (0.00197 to 0.00787 in.)

    If the backlash is out of specification, replace the side gear thrust washers.

    Thrust Washer Thickness:
    Parts No.

    HINT:
    1. Measure the thickness with a micrometer to select a proper thrust washer because the thrust washers do not have any distinguishing marks.
    2. Select washers of the same thickness for both the right and left sides.



3. REMOVE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL PINION SHAFT STRAIGHT PIN


    C193758E01

  1. Using SST and a hammer, loosen the staked part of the front differential case.

    C193759

  1. Using a pin punch 5 mm and a hammer, remove the front differential pinion shaft straight pin from the front differential case.



4. REMOVE FRONT NO. 1 DIFFERENTIAL PINION SHAFT


    C193760

  1. Remove the front No. 1 differential pinion shaft from the front differential case.



5. REMOVE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL SIDE GEAR


    C193761

  1. Remove the 2 front differential pinions, 2 front differential pinion thrust washers, 2 No. 1 front differential side gear thrust washers, and 2 front differential side gears from the front differential case.

    HINT:
    While rotating the front differential pinion, remove the 2 pinions and 2 side gears.
