Disassembly

NOTE: For removal and installation procedures refer to "Manual Transmission/Transaxle, Service and Repair."





DIFFERENTIAL CASE DISASSEMBLY





1. Remove ring gear.
a. Place matchmarks on the ring gear and case.
b. Remove the 8 bolts.
c. Using a copper hammer, tap on the ring gear to remove it from the case.





2. Vehicle Speed Sensor Drive Gear Side:
Remove side bearing from differential case
a. Using SST, remove the side bearing.
SST 09950-00020, 09950-00030, 09950-60010 (09951-00360)

HINT: Apply the claw of SST to the bearing inner race at the position where the vehicle speed sensor drive gear is indented.

b. Remove the vehicle speed sensor drive gear.





3. Ring Gear Side:
Remove side bearing from differentials case.
- Using SST, remove the side bearing.
SST 09950-00020, 09950-00030, 09950-60010 (09951-00360)

HINT: Apply the claw of SST to the bearing inner race at the position where the differential case is indented.





4. 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 inch).
If the backlash is not within the specification, install the correct thrust washer to the side gears.
5. 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.





6. 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 shim.
SST 09612-65014
c. Place the shim 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.
SST 09350-32014 (09351-32111, 09351-32130)
Drive in depth: 2.4 + 0.3 mm (0.094 + 0.012 inch)
f. Coat the lip of the oil seal with Multi-Purpose (MP) grease.





7. 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 shim.
SST 09612-65014
c. Place the shim into the case.





d. Using SST and a hammer, drive in a new outer race.
SST 09950-60020 (09951-00680), 09950-70010 (09951 -07150)





e. Using SST and a hammer, drive in a new oil seal.
SST 09350-32014 (09351-32130, 09351-32150)
Drive in depth: 2.4 + 0.3 mm (0.094 + 0.012 inch)
f. Coat the lip of the oil seal with MP grease.
