HINT:
First fit a washer with the same thickness as the washer which
was removed, then after checking the tooth contact pattern, re-
place the washer with a different thickness if necessary.

(3)

Adjust the drive pinion preload by tightening the
companion flange nut.

HINT:
Using SST to hold the flange, torque the nut.

SST

09330–00021

NOTICE:
As there is no spacer, tighten the nut a little at a time and
be careful not to overtighten it.

(4)

Remove the 3 nuts and SST.

(e)

4WD:
Adjust the drive pinion preload by tightening the compan-
ion flange nut.

HINT:
Using SST to hold the flange, torque the nut.

SST

09330–00021

NOTICE:
As there is no spacer, tighten the nut a little at a time and
be careful not to overtighten it.

(f)

Using a torque wrench, measure the preload of the drive
pinion using the backlash between the drive pinion and
ring gear.
Preload (at starting):
New bearing
1.3 – 1.9 N·m (13 – 19 kgf·cm, 11.4 – 16.7 in.·lbf)
Reused bearing
0.8 – 1.1 N·m (8 – 11kgf·cm, 7.0 – 9.7 in.·lbf)

(g)

2WD:
Remove the stud bolts from the companion flange.

8.

INSTALL DIFFERENTIAL CASE IN CARRIER

(a)

Place the 2 bearing outer races on their respective bear-
ings. Make sure the right and left races are not inter-
changed.

(b)

Install the differential case in the carrier.

9.

ADJUST RING GEAR BACKLASH

(a)

Install the plate washer on the ring gear back side.

HINT:
Make sure that the ring gear has backlash.

(b)

Tap on the ring gear with a plastic hammer so that the
washer fits to the bearing.

(c)

Using a dial indicator, while holding the companion
flange, measure the ring gear backlash.
Backlash (reference):
0.13 – 0.18 mm (0.0051 – 0.0071 in.)

(d)

Select a plate washer for the back side of the ring gear us-
ing the backlash as a reference.

(e)

Select a ring gear teeth side plate washer so that there is
no clearance between the outer race and case.

(f)

Remove the 2 plate washers and differential case.

(g)

Install the plate washer into the ring gear back side of the
carrier.

(h)

Place the other plate washer onto the differential case to-
gether with the outer race, and install the differential case
with the outer race into the carrier.

(i)

Tap on the ring gear with a plastic hammer so that the
washers fit to the bearing.

(j)

Using a dial indicator, while holding the companion flange
measure the ring gear backlash.
Backlash: 0.13 – 0.18 mm (0.0051 – 0.0071 in.)

If the backlash is not within the specified value, adjust it by ei-
ther increasing or decreasing the thickness of washers on both
sides by an equal amount.
HINT:
There should be no clearance between the plate washer and
the case.
Make sure that there is a ring gear backlash.
10.

ADJUST SIDE BEARING PRELOAD

(a)

Remove the ring gear teeth side plate washer and using
a micrometer, measure the thickness.

(b)

Using the backlash as a reference, install a new washer
that is 0.05 – 0.20 mm (0.0019 – 0.0078 in.) thicker than
the washer removed.

HINT:
Select a washer which can be pressed in 2/3 of the way with
your finger.
(c)

Using a plastic hammer, install the plate washer.

(d)

Recheck the ring gear backlash.
Backlash: 0.13 – 0.18 mm (0.0051 – 0.0071 in.)

If the backlash is not within the specified value, adjust it by ei-
ther increasing or decreasing the thickness of washers on both
sides by equal amount.
HINT:
The backlash will change by about 0.02 mm (0.0008 in.) corre-
sponding to 0.03 mm (0.0012 in.) change in the plate washer.
