  • Installer adapter (MB990930)
  • Bearing remover (MD998917)
   
Use the special tool Installer adapter (MB990937) to install the new taper roller bearing.
   
Use the special tools to install the new taper roller bearing.
  • Installer cap (MD998812)
  • Installer adapter (MD998824)
   
  1. Install the spacer on each side gear, then install the side gears into the centre differential case.
  2. NOTE: Use spacers of a medium thickness (0.93 - 1.00mm) when installing a new side gears.
  1. Attach the washer to the back of each pinion, make the four pinions engage with the side gears simultaneously, and bring the pinions into position while turning the gear set. Then install the pinion shaft holder.
  1. Insert the pinion shaft.
       
    1. Install the lock pin with its ends oriented as shown in the illustration.
    1. Install the front output shaft in the side gear, then install the snap ring.
    1. Fit the spacer on each side gear, and install the side gears into the centre differential case.
    2. NOTE: Use spacer of a medium thickness (0.93 - 1.00 mm) when installing new side gears.
    1. Install the centre differential flange while aligning the mating mark on it with that on the differential case and finger-tighten the machine screws (four places).
         
      1. Measure the backlash between the side gears and pinions.
      2. Standard value: 0.025 - 0.150 mm
      1. If the backlash is not within the standard value range, replace the spacers with appropriately selected ones and measure the backlash again.
      2. NOTE: The amount of the backlash must be the same on both side gears.
         
      Apply ATF to the bolts, and tighten the bolts to the specified torque of 135 ± 5 N·m in the shown sequence.
