Infiniti G35 (V35) Sedan. Manual - part 457

DLN-262

< DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY >

[REAR FINAL DRIVE: R200V]

DIFFERENTIAL ASSEMBLY

Install side gear and thrust washer into differential case B.

CAUTION:

Make sure that the circular clip is installed to side gear.

Install pinion mate assembly (pinion mate shaft, pinion mate
gears and pinion mate thrust washers) into differential case B.

CAUTION:

The pinion mate shaft groove side shall be installed to side
gear.

Install viscous coupling into differential case B.

Install side gear thrust washer with the same thickness as the
ones installed prior to disassembly or reinstall the old ones on
the viscous coupling.

Align the matching marks and install differential case A into dif-
ferential case B.

Measure side gear end play. If necessary, select the appropriate side gear thrust washer.

Place differential assembly so that right side gear is on the upper side.

Measure the clearance between right side gear back and differ-
ential case using feeler gauge, while rotating right side gear with
a suitable tool attached to splines.

CAUTION:

• Never place feeler gauge at groove side of differential

case.

• To prevent side gear from tilting, insert feeler gauges with the same thickness from both sides.

If the back clearance is outside the specification, use a thicker/thinner side gear thrust washer to adjust.

Side gear back clearance

: Refer to

DLN-287, "Differ-

ential Side Gear Clear-

When the back clearance
is large:

Use a thicker thrust wash-
er.

When the back clearance
is small:

Use a thinner thrust wash-
er.

• Adjust the clearance with the left side gear thrust washer only.
• Only one side gear thrust washer can be selected.

Align the matching mark of differential case with the mark of
drive gear, then place drive gear.

Apply thread locking sealant into the thread hole of drive gear.
• Use Genuine High Strength Thread Locking Sealant or

equivalent. Refer to

GI-15, "Recommended Chemical

Products and Sealants"

CAUTION:

Drive gear back and threaded holes shall be cleaned and
degreased sufficiently.

10. Install drive gear on the mounting bolts.

CAUTION:

• Tighten bolts in a crisscross fashion.
• After tightening the bolts to the specified torque, tighten

the bolts additionally by turning the bolts 31 to 36
degrees.

11. Press side bearing inner races to differential case, using the drift

(A) [SST: KV38100300 (J-25523)] and the base (B) [SST:
ST33061000 (J-8107-2)].

CAUTION:

Never reuse side bearing inner race.

DIFFERENTIAL ASSEMBLY

12. Install differential case assembly with side bearing outer races

into gear carrier.

13. Measure side bearing preload. If necessary, select the appropri-

ate side bearing adjusting washers. Refer to

DLN-265, "A/T :

Adjustment"

14. Insert selected left and right side bearing adjusting washers in

place between side bearings and gear carrier.

15. Align matching marks on bearing cap with that on gear carrier.

16. Install bearing caps and tighten bearing cap mounting bolts.

17. Using the drift [SST: KV38100200 (J-26233)], drive side oil seals

until it becomes flush with the case 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.

18. Check and adjust drive gear runout, tooth contact, drive gear to

drive pinion backlash, and total preload torque. Refer to

DLN-

265, "A/T : Adjustment"

Recheck above items. Readjust the above description, if neces-
sary.

19. Apply sealant to mating surface of rear cover.

• Use Genuine Silicone RTV or equivalent. Refer to

GI-15,

CAUTION:

Remove old sealant adhering to mounting surfaces. Also
remove any moisture, oil, or foreign material adhering to
application and mounting surfaces.

20. Install rear cover on gear carrier and tighten mounting bolts.

21. Install side flange with the following procedure.

Attach the protector [SST: KV38107900 (J-39352)] to side oil
seal.

After the side flange is inserted and the serrated part of side
gear has engaged the serrated part of flange, remove the pro-
tector.

Put a suitable drift on the center of side flange, then drive it until sound changes.
NOTE:
When installation is completed, driving sound of the side flange turns into a sound which seems to affect
the whole final drive.

Confirm that the dimension of the side flange (1) installation
(Measurement A) in the figure comes into the following.

TOTAL PRELOAD TORQUE

• Before inspection and adjustment, drain gear oil.

Secure final drive assembly onto an attachment [SST: KV38100800 (J-25604-01)].

Remove side flanges.

Rotate drive pinion back and forth 2 to 3 times to check for unusual noise and rotation malfunction.

Rotate drive pinion at least 20 times to check for smooth opera-
tion of the bearing.

Measure total preload with the preload gauge (A) [SST:
ST3127S000 (J-25765-A)].

NOTE:
Total preload torque = Pinion bearing preload torque + Side
bearing preload torque
• If measured value is out of the specification, disassemble it to check and adjust each part. Adjust the

pinion bearing preload and side bearing preload.
Adjust the pinion bearing preload first, then adjust the side bearing preload.

On pinion bearings:

Replace the collapsible spacer.

On side bearings:

Use thinner side bearing adjusting washers by the same amount to
each side.
