Disassembly

INFOID:0000000012199522

1. Remove electric controlled couplings. Refer to 

DLN-155, "Disassembly"

.

2. Remove center stem assembly. Refer to 

DLN-159, "Disassembly"

.

3. Remove drive pinion lock nut with the flange wrench (A) (Com-

mercial service tool).

4. Put matching mark (A) on the end of drive pinion. The matching

mark should be in line with the matching mark (B) on companion

flange (1).

CAUTION:

For matching mark, use paint. Never damage companion

flange and drive pinion.

NOTE:

The matching mark on the final drive companion flange indicates

the maximum vertical runout position.

When replacing companion flange, matching mark is not neces-

sary.

5. Remove companion flange using the puller (A) (Commercial ser-

vice tool).

6. Press drive pinion assembly out of gear carrier.

CAUTION:

Never drop drive pinion assembly.

7. Remove front oil seal.
8. Remove inner race of pinion bearing (front).
9. Remove collapsible spacer.

: Apply anti-corrosive oil.

: Apply Genuine Silicone RTV or equivalent. Refer to 

GI-22, "Recommended Chemical Products and Sealants"

.

DRIVE PINION

10. Remove inner race of pinion bearing (rear) and drive pinion

adjusting shim with the replacer (A) (Commercial service tool).

11. Remove drive pinion adjusting shim.

12. Tap the outer races of pinion bearing (front and rear) uniformly

using the brass rod or equivalent to remove them.

CAUTION:

Never damage gear carrier.

13. Perform inspection after disassembly. Refer to 

DLN-173,

"Inspection"

.

Assembly

INFOID:0000000012199523

1. Install outer race of pinion bearing (front) to the gear carrier with

the drift (A) [SST: ST33190000 (

—

)].

CAUTION:

• At first, using the hammer, tap outer race of bearing until

it becomes flat to gear carrier.

• Never reuse pinion bearing.

2. Install outer race of pinion bearing (rear) to the gear carrier with

the drift (A) [SST: ST37830000 (

—

)].

CAUTION:

• At first, using the hammer, tap outer race of bearing until

it becomes flat to gear carrier.

• Never reuse pinion bearing.

3. Temporarily install drive pinion adjusting shim (1).

When hypoid gear set has been replaced

• Select drive pinion adjusting shim. Refer to 

DLN-172, "Adjust-

ment"

.

When hypoid gear set has been reused

• Temporarily install the removed drive pinion adjusting shim or

same thickness shim to drive pinion.

CAUTION:

Pay attention to the direction of drive pinion adjusting

shim. (Assemble as shown in the figure.)

4. Install inner race of pinion bearing (rear) (1) to drive pinion with

the drift (A) [SST: ST33032000 (

—

)].

CAUTION:

Never reuse pinion bearing.

5. Assemble collapsible spacer (1) to drive pinion (2).

CAUTION:

• Be careful of the mounting direction of collapsible spacer.

• Never reuse collapsible spacer.

6. Assemble drive pinion into gear carrier.

CAUTION:

Apply gear oil to pinion bearing.

7. Assemble inner race of pinion bearing (front) to drive pinion

assembly.

CAUTION:

• Never reuse pinion bearing.

• Apply gear oil to pinion bearing.

8. Using the drift (A) [SST: KV37710000 (

—

)], press the

inner race of pinion bearing (front) to drive pinion as far as drive

pinion nut can be tightened.

9. Using the drift (A) (Commercial service tool), drive front oil seal

until it becomes flush with the gear carrier end.

CAUTION:

• Never reuse oil seal.

• When installing, never incline oil seal.

• Apply multi-purpose grease onto oil seal lips, and gear oil

onto the circumference of oil seal.

DRIVE PINION

10. Install companion flange.

NOTE:

When reusing drive pinion, align the matching mark (A) of drive

pinion with the matching mark (B) of companion flange (1), and

then install companion flange.

11. Apply anti-corrosion oil to the thread and seat of drive pinion

lock nut, and temporarily tighten drive pinion lock nut to drive

pinion, using the flange wrench (Commercial service tool).

CAUTION:

Never reuse drive pinion lock nut.

12. Adjust to the drive pinion lock nut tightening torque and pinion

bearing preload torque, using the preload gauge (A) [SST:

ST3127S000 (J-25765-A)].

CAUTION:

• Adjust to the lower limit of the drive pinion lock nut tight-

ening torque first.

• If the preload torque exceeds the specified value, replace

collapsible spacer and tighten it again to adjust. Never

loosen drive pinion lock nut to adjust the preload torque.

• After adjustment, rotate drive pinion back and forth 2 to 3

times to check for unusual noise, rotation malfunction,

and other malfunctions.

13. Install center stem assembly. Refer to 

DLN-160, "Assembly"

.

CAUTION:

Never install rear cover at this timing.

14. Check and adjust drive gear runout, tooth contact, drive gear to drive pinion backlash, and companion

flange runout. Refer to 

DLN-162, "Adjustment"

 and 

DLN-172, "Adjustment"

.

15. Check total preload torque. Refer to 

DLN-162, "Adjustment"

.

16. Install rear cover. Refer to 

DLN-160, "Assembly"

.

17. Install electric controlled couplings. Refer to 

DLN-156, "Assembly"

.
