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, 09950-00030,09950-60010 (09951-00360)
b. Remove the speedometer drive gear from the RH side.




2. REMOVE RING GEAR
a. Place 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 the 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 09950-60020(09951-00710), 09950-70010(09951-07150)




e. Using SST and a hammer, drive in a new oil seal.
