PRECAUTIONS

Service Notice or Precautions for Rear Final Drive

INFOID:0000000003412867

• Check for the correct installation status prior to removal or disassembly. If matching marks are required, be

certain they never interfere with the function of the parts when applied.

• Overhaul should be done in a clean work area, it is preferable to work in dustproof area.
• Before disassembly, using steam or white gasoline, completely remove sand and mud from the exterior of

the unit, preventing them from entering into the unit during disassembly or assembly.

• Check appearance of the disassembled parts for damage, deformation, and unusual wear. Replace them

with a new one if necessary.

• Gaskets, seals and O-rings should be replaced any time when the unit is disassembled.
• In principle, tighten bolts or nuts gradually in several steps working diagonally from inside to outside. If tight-

ening sequence is specified, observe it.

• Clean and flush the parts sufficiently and blow-dry them.
• Be careful not to damage sliding surfaces and mating surfaces.
• When applying sealant, remove the old sealant from the mounting surface; then remove any moisture, oil,

and foreign materials from the application and mounting surfaces.

• Always use shop paper for cleaning the inside of components.
• Avoid using cotton gloves or shop rags to prevent entering of lint.
• During assembly, observe the specified tightening torque, and apply new gear oil, petroleum jelly, or multi-

purpose grease as specified for each vehicle, if necessary.
