DIFFERENTIAL LOCK POSITION SWITCH

3. Install side bearing adjusters into gear carrier.

4. Apply gear oil to side bearings. Install differential case assembly

with side bearing outer races into gear carrier.

5. Apply multi-purpose grease to differential lock position switch

harness connector.

CAUTION:

Do not reuse sensor connector.

6. Connect differential lock solenoid harness connector (B) and dif-

ferential lock position switch harness connector (A). Then install

it to gear carrier, tighten to the specified torque. Refer to 

DLN-

321, "Disassembly and Assembly"

.

: Front

7. Align paint matching mark on side bearing caps with that on

gear carrier and install side bearing caps on gear carrier without

tightening to specification.

CAUTION:

Do not tighten at this point. This allows further tightening of

side bearing adjusters.

8. Tighten each side bearing adjusters using adjuster tool.

9. Adjusting backlash of drive gear and drive pinion. Refer to 

DLN-

321, "Disassembly and Assembly"

.

10. Check total preload torque. Refer to 

DLN-321, "Disassembly

and Assembly"

.

11. Check tooth contact. Refer to 

DLN-321, "Disassembly and

Assembly"

.

12. Apply a bead of sealant to the mating surface of the carrier

cover as shown.

• Use Genuine Silicone RTV or equivalent. Refer to 

GI-21,

"Recommended Chemical Products and Sealants"

.

CAUTION:

Remove any old sealant adhering to the mating surfaces.

Also remove any moisture, oil, or foreign material adhering

to the application and mating surfaces.

13. Install the carrier cover to the gear carrier. Tighten the bolts to

the specified torque. Refer to 

DLN-318, "Removal and Installa-

tion"

.

14. Installation of the remaining components is in the reverse order

of removal.

CAUTION:

Fill the front final drive assembly with recommended differential gear oil. Refer to 

DLN-310,

"Changing Differential Gear Oil"

.

REMOVAL

1. Remove rear propeller shaft. Refer to 

DLN-143, "Removal and Installation"

.

2. Remove brake calipers and rotors. Refer to 

BR-40, "Removal and Installation of Brake Caliper and Disc

Rotor"

.

3. Measure the total preload torque. Refer to 

DLN-331, "Inspection and Adjustment"

.

NOTE:

Record the total preload torque measurement.

4. Remove the drive pinion 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 oil seal/dust shield and discard.

CAUTION:

Do not reuse oil seal/dust shield.

8. Remove the front oil seal using Tool.

1. Apply multi-purpose grease to the lips of the new front oil seal.

Then drive the new front oil seal in evenly until it becomes flush

with the gear carrier using Tool.

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 a new oil seal/dust shield.

CAUTION:

Do not reuse oil seal/dust shield.

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

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

pinion lock nut washer. Then adjust the drive pinion lock nut

tightening torque using suitable tool (A), and check the total pre-

load 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 or drive pinion lock nut

washer.

• 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-321, "Dis-

assembly and Assembly"

.

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

exceeds the specifications, replace the collapsible spacer and tighten it again to adjust. Refer to

DLN-321, "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.

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-310, "Checking Differen-

tial Gear Oil"

.
