ASSEMBLY

Note
• Assemble in the reverse order of disassembling.

• Check and adjust each part during assembly.

• Keep the shims and washers in order, so that they are not improperly installed.

• Thoroughly clean the surfaces on which the shims, washers and bearings are to be installed.

• Apply gear oil when installing the bearings and thrust washers.

• Be careful not to mix up the right and left hand races of the bearings.

• Use a new O-ring and gasket.

• Replace the oil seal with a new one at every disassembly. Apply chassis grease between the lips when installing the oil seal.

• Be careful not to confuse the installing direction of oil seal.



Adjusting preload for front and rear bearings

Adjust the bearing preload with spacer and washer between front and rear bearings. Pinion height adjusting washer are not affected by this adjustment. The adjustment must be carried out without oil seal inserted.

Press the rear bearing race into differential carrier using ST1 and ST2.

Insert the ST1 into carrier with pinion height adjusting washer and rear bearing cone fitted onto it.

Note
• If tooth contact (Drive pinion, Hypoid driven gear) is normal in the inspection before disassembling, verify that the washer is not deformed, and then re-use the used washer.

• Use a new rear bearing cone.


Then install the preload adjusting spacer and washer, front bearing cone, ST2, companion flange, and washer and drive pinion nut.

Turn the ST1 with hand to make it seated, and tighten the self-locking nut while measuring the preload with spring balance. Select the preload adjusting washer and spacer so that the specified preload is obtained when nut is tightened to the specified torque.


Note
• Use a new self-locking nut.

• Be careful not to give excessive preload.

• When tightening the self-locking nut, lock ST1 with ST2 as shown in the figure.

• Measure the preload in direction of tangent to flange.

ST2 32005066 DIFFERENTIAL CARRIER GAUGE


Obtain the thickness of pinion height adjusting washer to be inserted from the following formula, and replace the temporarily installed shim with this one.

T = To + N − (H × 0.01) − 0.20 mm (0.0079 in)

Note

Use copies of this page.

T

Thickness of pinion height adjusting shim mm (in)

To

Thickness of washer temporarily inserted mm (in)

N

Reading of thickness gauge mm (in)

H

Figure marked on drive pinion head

Memo:










(Example of calculation)

To = 2.20 + 1.20 = 3.40 mm

N = 0.23 mm

H = + 1

T = 3.40 + 0.23 − 0.01 − 0.20 = 3.42

Result: Thickness = 3.42 mm

Measure the hypoid driven gear-to-drive pinion backlash. Set the magnet base on differential carrier. Align the contact point of dial gauge with tooth face of hypoid driven gear, and move the hypoid driven gear while holding drive pinion still. Read the value indicated on dial gauge.

Backlash:

0.10 — 0.20 mm (0.0039 — 0.0079 in)


At the same time, measure the total preload of drive pinion. Compared with the resistance when differential case is not installed, if the total preload is not within specification, adjust the thickness of side bearing retainer shims, increasing/reducing by an even amount at a time.

Total preload:

20.7 — 54.4 N (2.1 — 5.5 kgf, 4.7 — 12.2 lb)

Re-check the hypoid driven gear-to-pinion backlash.

Backlash:

0.10 — 0.20 mm (0.0039 — 0.0079 in)


Check the hypoid driven gear runout on its back surface, and make sure that pinion and hypoid driven gear rotate smoothly.

Limit of runout:

Less than 0.05 mm (0.0020 in)


Checking and adjusting tooth contact of hypoid driven gear

Apply an even coat of red lead on both sides of three or four teeth on the hypoid driven gear. Check the contact pattern after rotating the hypoid driven gear several revolutions back and forth until a definite contact pattern appears on the hypoid driven gear.

When the contact pattern is incorrect, readjust according to the instructions given in “TOOTH CONTACT PATTERN”.

Note

Be sure to wipe off red lead completely after adjustment is completed.



• Correct tooth contact

Checking item: Tooth contact pattern is slightly shifted toward to toe side under no-load rotation. (When loaded, contact pattern moves toward heel)

Corrective action: Increase thickness of drive pinion height adjusting washer in order to bring drive pinion close to hypoid driven gear.


• Flank contact

Checking item: Backlash is too small.

Corrective action: Reduce thickness of drive pinion height adjusting washer in order to move drive pinion away from hypoid driven gear.


• Toe contact (Inside end contact)

Checking item: Contact area is small.
