12. Install the rear drive differential and drive chain, following
these precautions:
• The case half rear output seal should be removed prior
to installation of the differential, as seal damage can
occur with seal installed due to the angle of entry.
• Install the differential sliding geardog onto the shift
fork arms at the same time the silent chain is installed.
• The differential gear bearing may be lightly tapped into
place. The output seal can be installed once the
assembly is in place.
13. Tensioner Installation:
NOTE:
Case-halve mating may be difficult due to tensioner
pressure on the drive chain during installation. Release tension at
the ratcheting cam to aid case half installation. Release the
tensioner spring after the case halves are mated but not yet
touching.
• Place the tensioner cam on the front spacer and
tensioner shoe on the rear spacer.
• Insert the pins through the cam and through the shoe.
• Place the spring over the front pin and hook the spring
leg under the cam.
