DISASSEMBLY
1. FIX FRONT DIFFERENTIAL CARRIER ASSEMBLY TO OVERHAUL STAND
(a) Set the differential carrier to an overhaul stand as shown in the illustration.
2. INSPECT DIFFERENTIAL RING GEAR BACKLASH
(a) Set a lever probe to a dial indicator. Insert the probe into the drain plug hole and set it onto the edge of one of the teeth of the ring gear at a
right angle.
(b) Using SST, turn the differential case clockwise and counterclockwise and measure the ring gear backlash while holding the companion flange
with your hand.
SST: 09564-50010
Standard backlash:
0.13 to 0.23 mm (0.00512 to 0.00905 in.)
-
Measure at 3 or more areas around the circumference of the ring gear.
-
For reassembly purposes, record the result before disassembly.
If the backlash is not within the specified range, adjust the ring gear backlash or repair as necessary.
