REAR AXLE

7. If preload torque is exceeded, a new

collapsible spacer must be installed and

torqueing sequence as above to be repeated.

Check for rotating torque of pinion. It should

read between 0.18 to 0.26 kg-m with new

bearings.

NOTE

If only oil seal needs to be changed, measure

rotating torque of pinion with the help companion

flange holder (Part No.289458903517). In this

case use new collapsible spacer and keep same

rotational torque of pinion as before.

8. Place differential case in vice as shown. Apply

grease to new side gear thrust washers and

hubs of side gears. Assemble both side gears.

Apply grease to new pinion mate spherical

washers, and the pinion mate gears. Assemble

pinion mate gears.

NOTE



Always replace gears as a complete set.



Do not mix new gears with old gears, as this

may cause uneven wear and shorter gear life.



An easy way to assemble the side gears and

pinion mate gears is to have all parts

lubricated before assembly.



Assemble both side gears and thrust washers,

hold them in place with one hand and then

assemble the pinion mate gear to hold the side

gears in place. Rotate the side gears until the

holes of the spherical washers and pinion mate

gears line up with the holes in the case. If the

gears cannot be rotated by hand, install one of

the axle shafts into the side gear splines and

use a pipe wrench to turn the shaft.

9. Use a drift to line holes of the gears up with

case. Insert Assemble shaft and drive on shaft

to remove drift. Be sure vertical lock pin hole is

lined up with that of the case, and that pinion

mate washers are in place and lined up with

gear and case.

10.Assemble roll pin with a small drift. When roll

pin bottoms out, stake

(peen)

metal of case

over pin in two places, 180 degrees apart.
