INSPECTION AFTER DISASSEMBLY

Clean the disassembled parts. Then inspect the parts for wear or damage. If wear or damage are found, follow

the measures below.

Drive Pinion and Drive Gear

• If the gear teeth do not mesh or line-up correctly, replace with new rear final drive assembly. Refer to 

DLN-

319, "Removal and Installation"

.

• If the gears are worn, cracked, damaged, pitted or chipped (by friction) noticeably, replace with new rear final

drive assembly. Refer to 

DLN-319, "Removal and Installation"

.

Bearings

• If bearings are chipped (by friction), pitted, worn, rusted, scratched mark, or unusual noise from the bearing,

replace with new rear final drive assembly. Refer to 

DLN-319, "Removal and Installation"

.

Differential Case Assembly

• If the gears are worn, cracked, damaged, pitted or chipped (by friction) noticeably, replace with new rear final

drive assembly. Refer to 

DLN-319, "Removal and Installation"

.

• If the movement is not smooth when pushing cam ring of differential case assembly by hand. Replace with

new rear final drive assembly. Refer to 

DLN-319, "Removal and Installation"

.

Differential Lock Solenoid

• If the operating part of differential lock solenoid is not smooth, perform component inspection. Refer to 

DLN-

273, "DIFFERENTIAL LOCK CONTROL UNIT : CONSULT Function (DIFF LOCK)"

.

Companion Flange

• If any chips [about 0.1mm (0.004 in)] or other damage on the companion flange surface which contacts the

front oil seal lips are found, replace with new one. Refer to 

DLN-321, "Disassembly and Assembly"

.

then install drive pinion assembly into gear carrier.

CAUTION:

• Do not reuse collapsible spacer.

• Do not damage front oil seal.

4. Install a new oil seal/dust shield.

CAUTION:

Do not reuse oil seal/dust shield.

6. 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 drive pin-

ion bearing preload torque using Tool (B). Refer to 

DLN-331,

"Inspection and Adjustment"

.

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.

• If the drive pinion bearing preload torque exceeds the

specified value, replace collapsible spacer and tighten it

again to adjust. Do not loosen drive pinion lock nut to

adjust the drive pinion bearing preload torque.

• After adjustment, rotate drive pinion back and forth 2 to 3

times to check for unusual noise, rotation malfunction,

and other malfunctions.

Differential Assembly

1. Apply sealant to threads of differential lock position switch. 

• Use Genuine Silicone RTV or equivalent. Refer to 

GI-21, "Recommended Chemical Products and Seal-

ants"

.

CAUTION:

Remove old sealant adhering to gear carrier and differential lock position switch. Also remove any

moisture, oil, or foreign material adhering to application and gear carrier and differential lock posi-

tion switch.

2. Install differential lock position switch on gear carrier and tighten

differential lock position switch bolts to the specified torque.

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

with side bearing outer races into gear carrier.
