Nissan Silvia. Manual - part 315

SPD897

SPD896

Set drive pinion assembly (as shown in figure at left) in differ-
ential carrier and install drive pinion, with press and suitable
tool.

Stop when drive pinion touches bearing.
Apply multi-purpose grease to pinion rear bearing inner race,
pinion front bearing inner race.

SPD557

Apply multi-purpose grease to cavity at sealing lips of oil seal.
Install front oil seal with Tool.

Tool number: KV38100500

PD416

Install companion flange, and tighten pinion nut to specified
torque with suitable tool.

Make sure that threaded portion of drive pinion and pinion nut
are free from oil or grease.

SPD056A

Turn drive pinion in both directions several times, and measure
pinion bearing preload.

Pinion bearing preload:

1.1 - 1.4 N·m (11 - 14 kg-cm, 9.5 - 12.2 in-lb)

When pinion bearing preload is outside specifications,
replacement is required for pinion bearing adjusting washer
and spacer. Replace with those of different thickness.

Select side bearing adjusting washer. Refer to ADJUSTMENT
(PD-23).

10. Install differential case assembly with side bearing outer races

into gear carrier.

SPD924

11. Insert left and right side bearing adjusting washers in place

between side bearings and carrier.

SPD559

12. Drive in side bearing spacer with Tool.

Tool number: KV38100600
Spacer location: Right side

13. Align mark on bearing cap with that on gear carrier and install

bearing cap on gear carrier.

14. Check runout of ring gear with a dial indicator.

Runout limit: 0.05 mm (0.0020 in)

15. Measure ring gear to drive pinion backlash with a dial indica-

tor.

Ring gear to drive pinion backlash:

0.10 - 0.15 mm (0.0039 - 0.0059 in)

If backlash is too small, adjustment of shim thickness is
required. Decrease thickness of left shim and increase thick-
ness of right shim by the same amount.
If backlash is too great, reverse the above procedure.

Never change the total amount of shims as it will change the
bearing preload.

SPD056A

16. Check total preload with Tool.
When checking preload, turn drive pinion in both directions
several times to seat bearing rollers correctly.

Total preload:

1.4 - 3.1 N·m (14 - 32 kg-cm, 12 - 28 in-lb)

If preload is too great, remove the same amount of shim from
each side.

If preload is too small, add the same amount of shim to each
side.

Never add or remove a different number of shims for each
side. Difference in number of shims will change ring gear to
drive pinion backlash.
17. Recheck ring gear to drive pinion backlash. Increase or

decrease in thickness of shims will cause change to ring gear
to pinion backlash.

Check whether the backlash varies excessively in different
places. Foreign matter may be caught between the ring gear
and the differential case causing the trouble.

The backlash can vary greatly even when the ring gear runout
is within a specified range. In that case, replace the hypoid
gear set or differential case.

18. Check tooth contact.

Refer to ADJUSTMENT (PD-26).

SPD560

19. Apply multi-purpose grease to cavity at sealing lips of oil seal.

Install side oil seal.

Tool number: KV38100200

20. Install rear cover and gasket.
