    CAUTION:

    Pay attention to the direction of pinion height adjusting washer. (Assemble as shown in the figure, below.)

    When Hypoid Gear Set Has Been Replaced

    • Select pinion height adjusting washer. Refer to ADJUSTMENT .

    When Hypoid Gear Set Has Been Reused

    • Temporarily install the removed pinion height adjusting washer or same thickness washer to drive pinion.
  3. Install pinion rear bearing inner race WHITE-1 to drive pinion with the drift (A) [SST: ST30032000 (J-26010-01)].

  5. Apply gear oil to pinion rear bearing, and assemble drive pinion into gear carrier.
  6. Apply gear oil to pinion front bearing, and assemble pinion front bearing inner race to drive pinion assembly.
    CAUTION:

    Never reuse pinion front bearing inner race.

  7. Using drift (A) (commercial service tool), press the pinion front bearing inner race to drive pinion as far as drive pinion lock nut can be tightened.

    A Drift [SST: ST33400001 (J-26082)]
    B Drift [SST: KV38102510 (-)]
    CAUTION:
    • Never reuse oil seal.
    • When installing, never incline oil seal.
    • Apply multi-purpose grease onto oil seal lips, and gear oil onto the circumference of oil seal.
  10. Install companion flange.
    NOTE:

    When reusing drive pinion, align the matching mark MARU-B-W of drive pinion with the matching mark MARU-A-W of companion flange, and then install companion flange WHITE-1 .

  11. Apply anti-corrosion oil to the thread and seat of new drive pinion lock nut, and temporarily tighten drive pinion lock nut to drive pinion.
    CAUTION:

    Never reuse drive pinion lock nut.

  12. While holding companion flange with the flange wrench (commercial service tool), tighten drive pinion lock nut within the limits of specified torque so as to keep the pinion bearing preload within a standard values, using preload gauge (A) [SST: ST3127S000 (J-25765-A)].

    Drive pinion lock nut tightening torque : Refer to EXPLODED VIEW WITH TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .
    Pinion bearing preload : Refer to PRELOAD TORQUE .
    CAUTION:
    • Adjust to the lower limit of the drive pinion lock nut tightening torque first.
    • After adjustment, rotate drive pinion back and forth 2 to 3 times to check for unusual noise, rotation malfunction, and other malfunctions.
  13. Install differential case assembly. Refer to DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY .
    CAUTION:

    Never install carrier cover yet.

  14. Check and adjust drive gear runout, tooth contact, and drive gear to drive pinion backlash. Refer to ADJUSTMENT .
  15. Check companion flange runout. Refer to ADJUSTMENT .
  16. Check total preload torque. Refer to ADJUSTMENT .
  17. Install carrier cover. Refer to DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY .
