DIFFERENTIAL CASE > REASSEMBLY |
| 1. INSTALL FRONT DIFFERENTIAL SIDE GEAR |
Coat the contact surfaces of the front differential side gears with gear oil.
Install the 2 front No. 1 differential side gear thrust washers onto the 2 front differential side gears.
![]() |
Install the 2 front differential side gears, 2 front differential pinions, and 2 front differential pinion thrust washers onto the front differential case.
| 2. INSTALL FRONT NO. 1 DIFFERENTIAL PINION SHAFT |
Coat the front No. 1 differential pinion shaft with MP grease.
![]() |
Install the front No. 1 differential pinion shaft onto the front differential case so that the hole for the front differential pinion shaft straight pin is aligned with the hole in the front differential case.
| 3. INSPECT FRONT DIFFERENTIAL SIDE GEAR BACKLASH |
![]() |
Install the front differential pinion to the front differential case side. Using a dial indicator, measure the front differential side gear backlash.

| 4. INSTALL FRONT DIFFERENTIAL PINION SHAFT STRAIGHT PIN |
![]() |
Using a pin punch 5 mm and a hammer, install the front differential pinion shaft straight pin onto the front differential case.
![]() |
Using a chisel and a hammer, stake the front differential case hole.
| 5. INSTALL FRONT DIFFERENTIAL RING GEAR |
![]() |
Clean the contact surfaces of the front differential case and ring gear.
Using a heater, heat the front differential ring gear to 90 to 110°C (194 to 230°F).
After moisture on the ring gear has completely evaporated, quickly install the ring gear onto the differential case.
![]() |
Align the matchmarks on the front differential ring gear with that on the front differential case, and quickly install it.
| *1 | Matchmark |
Install the 8 bolts.
