22.Measure the preload A of the differential 

assembly in the following way.

AK502264 AC

M3

(1) Measure the distance M3 from the edge of 

transmission case to the mounting surface of 
adjusting shim.

AK502265

M4

AC

(2) Install the differential assembly on the 

converter housing, and measure the distance 
M4 from the differential case to the edge of 
converter housing.

AK502266

M5

AC

(3) Install the outer race on differential side 

bearing, and measure the distance M5 from 
the differential case to the outer race of 
differential side bearing.

(4) Using the following expression, calculate the 

distance M6 from the edge of converter 
housing to the outer race of differential side 
bearing.

M6 = M4 

− M5

(5) Using the following expression, calculate 

thickness of the adjusting shim.

Thickness of adjusting shim = M3 

− M6 + 

preload
Standard value: 0.17 

− 0.23 mm

(For differential preload)

CAUTION

Do not re-use the adjusting shim.

AK502239

23.Install the selected shim on the transmission 

case. For selection of the adjusting shim, refer to 
"SERVICE SPECIFICATIONS."

CAUTION

• Do not re-use the outer race.
•

AK502846AC

MB990780

Replace the outer race together with the inner 
race.

24.Using the special tool, Real axle shaft bushing 

installer (MB990780), install the outer race of 
differential side bearing on the transmission case.

(3) Install the outer race of reduction gear side 

bearing on the bearing, and measure the 
distance M9 from the edge of reduction gear 
assembly to the outer race of reduction gear
