assembly.

2. Fill the front final drive assembly with new differential gear oil

until the level reaches the specified level near the filler plug hole.

3. Install the filler plug with a new gasket on it to the front final drive assembly. Tighten to the specified

torque. Refer to 

DLN-193, "Disassembly and Assembly"

.

CAUTION:

Do not reuse gasket.

Checking Differential Gear Oil

INFOID:0000000009479775

DIFFERENTIAL GEAR OIL LEAKAGE AND LEVEL

1. Make sure that differential gear oil is not leaking from the front final drive assembly or around it.
2. Check the differential gear oil level from the filler plug hole as

shown.

CAUTION:

Do not start engine while checking differential gear oil level.

3. Install the filler plug with a new gasket on it to the front final drive

assembly. Tighten to the specified torque. Refer to 

DLN-193,

"Disassembly and Assembly"

.

INFOID:0000000009479776

NOTE:

When removing components such as hoses, tubes/lines, etc., cap or plug openings to prevent fluid from spill-

ing.

REMOVAL

1. Remove the drive shafts from the front final drive assembly. Refer to 

FAX-6, "Removal and Installation"

.

2. Remove the front propeller shaft from the front final drive assembly. Refer to 

DLN-134, "Removal and

Installation"

.

3. Measure the total preload torque. Refer to 

DLN-193, "Disassembly and Assembly"

.

NOTE:

Record the total preload torque measurement.

4. Remove the drive pinion lock nut using suitable tool.
5. Put matching marks on the companion flange and drive pinion

using paint.

CAUTION:

Use paint to make the matching marks. Do not damage the

companion flange or drive pinion.

6. Remove the companion flange using suitable tool.

7. Remove the front oil seal using Tool.

FRONT OIL SEAL

1. Apply multi-purpose grease to the lips and differential gear oil to

the circumference of the new front oil seal. Then drive the new

front oil seal in evenly until it becomes flush with the gear carrier

using Tools.

CAUTION:

• Do not reuse front oil seal.

• Do not incline the new front oil seal when installing.

• Apply multi-purpose grease to the lips and differential

gear oil to the circumference of the new front oil seal.

2. Install the companion flange to the drive pinion while aligning the matching marks.
3. Apply anti-corrosive oil to the threads of the drive pinion and the

seating surface of the new drive pinion lock nut. Then adjust the

drive pinion lock nut tightening torque using suitable tool (A),

and check the total preload torque using Tool (B).

• The total preload torque should be within the total preload

torque specification. When not replacing the collapsible

spacer, it should also be equal to the measurement taken dur-

ing removal plus an additional 0.56 N·m (0.06 Kg-m, 5 in-lb).

• If the total preload torque is low, tighten the drive pinion lock

nut in 6.8 N·m (0.69 Kg-m, 5ft-lb) increments until the total pre-

load torque is met.

CAUTION:

• Do not reuse drive pinion lock nut.

• Apply anti-corrosive oil to the threads of the drive pinion

and the seating surface of the new drive pinion lock nut.

• Adjust the drive pinion lock nut tightening torque to the

lower limit first. Do not exceed the drive pinion lock nut

specified torque. Refer to 

DLN-193, "Disassembly and

Assembly"

.

• Do not loosen drive pinion lock nut to adjust the total preload torque. If the drive pinion lock nut

torque or the total preload torque exceeds the specifications, replace the collapsible spacer and

tighten it again to adjust. Refer to 

DLN-193, "Disassembly and Assembly"

.

• After adjustment, rotate drive pinion back and forth 2 to 3 times to check for unusual noise, rota-

tion malfunction, and other malfunctions.

4. Install new side oil seals into the front final drive assembly. Refer to 

DLN-189, "Removal and Installation"

.

5. Installation of the remaining components is in the reverse order of removal.

CAUTION:

Check the differential gear oil level and refill as necessary. Refer to 

DLN-186, "Checking Differen-

tial Gear Oil"

.
