Disassembly of Differential Case

1. REMOVE SIDE BEARING FROM DIFFERENTIAL CASE
a. Using SST, remove the bearings from both sides of the case.
SST 09950-00020, 09950-00030
b. Remove the speedometer drive gear from the RH side.

2. REMOVE RING GEAR
a. Place the matchmarks on the ring gear and case.
b. Remove the 6 bolts.
c. Using a plastic hammer, tap on the ring gear to remove it from the case.

3. INSPECT SIDE GEAR BACKLASH
Using a dial indicator. measure the backlash of one side gear while holding one pinion toward the case.

Standard backlash: 0.05 - 0.20 mm (0.0020 - 0.0079 in.)

If the backlash does not meet specification, install the correct thrust washer to the side gears.

4. DISASSEMBLE DIFFERENTIAL CASE
a. Using a pin punch and hammer, drive out the pinion shaft straight pin.
b. Remove the pinion shaft from the case.
c. Remove the 2 pinions and side gears with the 4 thrust washers from each gear.

5. Transmission Case Side:
IF NECESSARY, REPLACE OIL SEAL AND SIDE BEARING OUTER RACE
a. Using a screwdriver and hammer, drive out the oil seal.
b. Using SST, pull out the outer race and plate washer.
SST 09612-65014
c. Place the plate washer into the case.

d. Using SST and a hammer, drive in a new outer race.
SST 09608 - 20012 (09608 - 03020, 09608 - 03090)

e. Using SST and a hammer, drive in a new oil seal.
SST 09350-32014 (09351-32111, 09351-32130)

Drive in depth: 2.4 ± 0.3 mm (0.094 ± 0.012 in.)

f. Coat the lip of the oil seal with MP grease.

6. Transaxle Case Side:
IF NECESSARY, REPLACE OIL SEAL AND SIDE BEARING OUTER RACE
a. Using a screwdriver and hammer, drive out the oil seal.
b. Using SST, pull out the outer race and plate washer.
SST 09612-65014
c. Place the plate washer into the case.

d. Using SST and a hammer, drive in a new outer race.
SST 09608-20012 (09608-03020, 09608-03060)

e. Using SST and a hammer, drive in a new oil seal.
SST 09350-32014 (09351-32130, 09351-32150)

Drive in depth: 1.9 ± 0.3 mm (0.075 ± 0.012 in.)

f. Coat the lip of the oil seal with MP grease.
