(1) Disassembly
Reference – Figure 370X
1. Remove the bearing ①, and shims ②.
2. Remove the ring gear tightening bolts ⑭, and ring gear
⑫.
3. Take out the thrust washer ④, and differential gear ⑤.
4. Remove the dowel pins ⑩, pinion shafts ⑦ and ⑨.
5. Take out the pinion gears ⑥, thrust washers ⑧, joint
⑪, differential gear ⑤, and thrust washer ④.
(2) Inspection
1. Inspect gear teeth for excessive wear or damage.
2. Measure the thickness of the differential gear thrust
washers. Replace washers that exceed the minimum
thickness. See “Specifications”.
3. Inspect the differential pinion shaft and gears for
excessive wear. See “Specifications”.
4. Inspect the drive pinion to ring gear tooth wear pattern.
See Figure 377X, for wear indications and shimming
adjustments.
5. Inspect the bearings for excessive wear or binding
when rotated by hand.
