DISASSEMBLY

1. Remove electric controlled coupling assembly. Refer to 

DLN-122, "Disassembly and Assembly"

.

2. Remove differential assembly. Refer to 

DLN-126, "Disassembly and Assembly"

.

3. Remove drive pinion oil seal, using oil seal remover (commercial service tool).
4. Fit drive pinion socket (A) onto drive pinion spline. Remove drive

pinion lock nut, using the pinion nut wrench (B).

5. Press drive pinion assembly out of gear carrier.

CAUTION:

Never drop drive pinion assembly.

6. Remove pinion front bearing inner race.
7. Remove collapsible spacer.

8. Remove pinion rear bearing inner race from drive pinion, using

the separator (A) and the puller (B).

9. Using a brass rod or equivalent (A), tap pinion front bearing

outer race evenly from the 2 cutouts on gear carrier and remove

pinion front bearing outer race.

CAUTION:

Be careful not to damage gear carrier.

: Apply Genuine Silicone RTV or equivalent. Refer to 

GI-22, "Recommended Chemical Products and Sealants"

.

 

: Apply Genuine High Strength Thread Locking Sealant or equivalent. Refer to 

GI-22, "Recommended Chemical Products 

and Sealants"

.

DRIVE PINION

10. Using a brass rod or equivalent (A), tap drive pinion adjusting

shim evenly from the 2 cutouts on gear carrier and remove drive

pinion adjusting shim and pinion rear bearing outer race.

CAUTION:

Be careful not to damage gear carrier.

11. Perform inspection after disassembly. Refer to 

DLN-141,

"Inspection"

.

ASSEMBLY

1. Install a drive pinion adjusting shim of the same thickness as

was installed prior to disassembly. Press pinion rear bearing

outer race into gear carrier, using the drift (A) [SST: ST33200000

(J-26082)].

CAUTION:

• At first, using a hammer, tap bearing outer race until it

becomes flush to gear carrier.

• Never reuse pinion rear bearing outer race.

2. Press pinion front bearing outer race into gear carrier, using the

drift (A) [SST: ST33230000 (J-25805-01)].

CAUTION:

• At first, using a hammer, tap bearing outer race until it

becomes flush to gear carrier.

• Never reuse pinion front bearing outer race.

3. Press pinion rear bearing inner race to drive pinion, using the

drift (A) [SST: ST23860000 ( — )].

CAUTION:

Never reuse pinion rear bearing inner race. 

4. Check and adjust the tooth contact and back lash of drive gear and drive pinion following the procedure

below.

a. Assemble drive pinion into gear carrier.

CAUTION:

• Never assemble collapsible spacer.

• Apply gear oil to pinion rear bearing.

b. Assemble pinion front bearing inner race to drive pinion assembly.

CAUTION:

• Never reuse pinion front bearing inner race.

• Apply gear oil to pinion front bearing.

c. Using the drifts (A and C) and press stand (B), press pinion front

bearing inner race to drive pinion as far as drive pinion lock nut

can be tightened.

d. Temporarily tighten removed drive pinion lock nut to drive pinion.

NOTE:

Use removed drive pinion lock nut only for the preload measure-

ment.

e. Rotate drive pinion more than 20 times to adjust bearing.
f.

Fit the drive pinion socket (A) onto the drive pinion. Using the

pinion nut wrench (B), tighten drive pinion lock nut holding drive

pinion, while adjusting pinion bearing preload torque using pre-

load gauge (C).

CAUTION:

Drive pinion lock nut is tightened with no collapsible

spacer. Be careful not to overtighten it. While measuring the

preload, tighten it by 5

° to 10°.

g. Install new side bearing adjusting shims (2 pieces for one side) with the same thickness or re-install the

old ones to the same mounting position they were in prior to disassembly. Install differential assembly to

gear carrier. Refer to 

DLN-126, "Disassembly and Assembly"

.

CAUTION:

Apply differential gear oil to the side bearings.

h. Check and adjust tooth contact, drive gear to drive pinion backlash. Refer to 

DLN-131, "Adjustment"

.

i.

Remove differential assembly.

j.

Remove drive pinion assembly from gear carrier

k. Remove drive pinion nut and press drive pinion assembly out of gear carrier.
l.

Remove pinion front bearing inner race.
