REMOVAL

CAUTION:

• Be careful not to damage spline, companion flange and front oil seal when removing propeller shaft.

• Before removing rear final drive assembly or rear axle assembly, disconnect ABS sensor harness

connector from the assembly and move it away from rear final drive assembly/rear axle assembly

area. Failure to do so may result in sensor wires being damaged and sensor becoming inoperative.

1. Drain rear final drive gear oil. Refer to 

DLN-250, "Changing Differential Gear Oil"

.

2. Remove rear propeller shaft. Refer to 

DLN-148, "Removal and Installation"

.

3. Remove both RH and LH axle shafts. Refer to 

RAX-9, "Removal and Installation"

.

4. Remove the carrier cover. Refer to 

DLN-258, "Removal and Installation"

.

5. Remove differential lock solenoid harness connector (B) bolt

6. For installation, apply a paint matching mark on one side of side

bearing cap.

CAUTION:

• Side bearing caps are line-board for initial assembly. The

matching marks are used to install them in their original

positions.

• For matching mark, use paint. Do not damage side bear-

ing cap.

9. Loosen the side bearing adjusters using Tool.

10. Remove the differential case assembly. Keep side bearing outer

races together with inner races, do not mix them up. Also, keep

side bearing adjusters together with bearing.

11. Remove side bearing adjusters from gear carrier.

12. Remove bracket for the differential lock position switch harness connector and bolts.
13. Remove differential lock position switch.

INSTALLATION

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 with the specified torque.

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 harness

connector.

CAUTION:

Do not reuse sensor harness connector.

6. Connect differential lock solenoid harness (B) and differential

lock position switch harness connector (A). Then install it to gear

carrier, tighten to the specified torque. Refer to 

DLN-261, "Dis-

assembly and Assembly"

.

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-

261, "Disassembly and Assembly"

.

10. Check total preload torque. Refer to 

DLN-261, "Disassembly

and Assembly"

.

11. Check tooth contact. Refer to
