(0.177 ± 0.012 in.)

SUSPENSION AND AXLE

Using a torque wrench, measure the preload of the drive pinion

using the backlash between the drive pinion and the ring gear.

If the preload is greater than the specified value, replace the

bearing spacer.

If the preload is less than the specified value, retighten the nut

with 13 N·m (130 kgf·cm, 9 ft·lbf) of torque until the specified

preload is reached.

If the maximum torque is exceeded while retightening the nut,

replace the bearing spacer and repeat the preload adjusting

procedure. Do not loosen the nut to reduce the preload.

FRONT DIFFERENTIAL CARRIER

Using SST and the companion flange, install the rear

bearing, then remove the companion flange.

09950−30012 (09951−03010, 09953−03010,

09954−03010, 09955−03030, 09956−03020)

INSTALL OIL SEAL

Using SST and a hammer, install a new oil seal.

Oil seal drive in depth: 4.5 ± 0.3 mm (0.177 ± 0.012 in.)

Coat the oil seal lip with MP grease.

INSTALL COMPANION FLANGE

Place the companion flange on the drive pinion.

Coat the threads of a new nut with hypoid gear oil.

Using SST to hold the flange, torque the nut.

Torque: 108 N·m (1,100 kgf·cm, 80 ft·lbf)

ADJUST DRIVE PINION PRELOAD

Preload (at starting):

1.2 − 1.9 N·m (12 − 19 kgf·cm, 10.4 − 16.5 in.·lbf)

Reused bearing

0.6 − 1.0 N·m (6 − 10 kgf·cm, 5.2 − 8.7 in.·lbf)

Torque: 223 N·m (2,275 kgf·cm, 165 ft·lbf) or less
