4.

Insert pinion mate shaft into differential case.

CAUTION:

Be sure not to damage pinion mate thrust washers.

5.

Measure the end play of side gears, as per the following procedure. Then select side gear thrust washer.

a.

Put differential case vertically so that its side gear to be measured faces upward.

b.

Place the drift (A) (SST: ST15243000) and a dial indicator (B)
onto side gear.

c.

Move side gears up and down to measure the clearance and
select side gear thrust washer so that it satisfies the standard
value. For selecting side gear thrust washer, refer to the latest
parts information.

CAUTION:

• There should be no resistance and gears should rotate

freely.

• Place differential case upside down. Measure the end play for opposite side gears likewise

securely. 

• Only one thrust washer can be selected.

6.

Install retaining pin into pinion mate shaft using a pin punch (A)
(commercial service tool).

CAUTION:

Never reuse retaining pin.

7.

Install reduction gear into differential case and tighten reduction
gear mounting bolts to the specified torque.

8.

Press-fit differential side bearing (clutch housing side) to differ-
ential case using the drifts (A and B).

CAUTION:

• Never reuse differential side bearing.
• Replace differential side bearing and differential side

bearing outer race as a set.

9.

Press-fit differential side bearing (transaxle case side) to differ-
ential case using the drifts (A and B).

CAUTION:

Replace differential side bearing and differential side bear-
ing outer race as a set.

10. Install final gear to differential case and tighten final gear mount-

ing bolts to the specified torque.

FINAL DRIVE

1.

Install output gear bearing 

 to output gear 

 using a drift (A)

(commercial service tool).

CAUTION:

Be careful with the orientation of output gear bearing.

2.

Install snap ring 

 onto output gear and make sure that the end

play (gap between snap ring and groove) of output gear bearing
satisfies the standard value.

CAUTION:

• Only one snap ring can be selected.
• Never reuse snap ring.
• Never align snap ring notch with output gear groove 

when assembling.

3.

Install snap ring, as per the following procedure.

CAUTION:

If the following steps b and c are not performed when installing snap ring, it may become detached
from output gear.

a.

Press 

 of the snap ring 

 against 

 of the output gear 

.

CAUTION:

Never reuse snap ring.

b.

Press snap ring 

 from the direction shown in the figure. Tem-

porarily install it so that the rim of snap ring contacts with 

 of

output gear 

.

CAUTION:

• When compressing snap ring, outside diameter of snap

ring must not become 46 mm (1.81 in) or less.

• Never press snap ring excessively.
• Never insert snap ring in 

 of output gear.

4WD : Inspection

INFOID:0000000010919429

INSPECTION BEFORE DISASSEMBLY

Check the clearance between side gears and differential case as follows.
1.

Clean final drive assembly sufficiently to prevent side gear thrust washer, differential case, side gear, and
other parts from sticking by gear oil.

2.

Put differential case vertically so that its side gear to be measured faces upward.

3.

Place the drift (A) (SST: ST15243000) and a dial indicator (B)
onto side gear.

4.

Move side gear up and down, and measure the clearance.

CAUTION:

There should be no resistance and gears should rotate
freely.

5.

If not within specification, adjust the clearance by changing side
gear thrust washer thickness. For selecting side gear thrust
washer, refer to the latest parts information.

6.

Turn differential case upside down and measure the clearance between side gear and differential case on
the other side in the same way.
