Title: HF2A TRANSFER: CENTER DIFFERENTIAL: DISASSEMBLY; 2007 MY LX470 [08/2006 -        ]

DISASSEMBLY

1. CHECK HIGH SPEED OUTPUT GEAR RADIAL AND THRUST CLEARANCE

(a) Using a feeler gauge, measure the high speed output gear thrust clearance.

Standard clearance:

0.10 to 0.25 mm (0.0039 to 0.0098 in.)

Maximum clearance:

0.25 mm (0.0098 in.)

If the clearance is greater than the maximum, replace the high speed output gear, needle roller bearing, high speed output gear bush low gear, clutch hub or front differential case.

(b) Using a dial indicator, measure the high speed output gear radial clearance.

Standard clearance:

0.035 to 0.091 mm (0.00138 to 0.00358 in.)

Maximum clearance:

0.091 mm (0.00358 in.)

If the clearance is greater than the maximum, replace the high speed output gear, needle roller bearing, high speed output gear bush low gear, clutch hub or front differential case.

2. REMOVE FRONT DRIVE GEAR PIECE

(a) Using a snap ring expander, remove the snap ring.

(b) Using SST and a press, remove the front drive gear piece.

SST: 09950-00020

SST: 09950-60010

09951-00320

NOTICE:

Be careful not to drop the center differential assembly.

3. REMOVE FRONT TAPER ROLLER BEARING

(a) Using SST and a press, press out the taper roller bearing.

SST: 09950-00020

NOTICE:

Set the claw of SST to the bearing inner race securely.

4. REMOVE HIGH SPEED OUTPUT GEAR

5. REMOVE NEEDLE ROLLER BEARING

6. REMOVE HIGH AND LOW CLUTCH SLEEVE

7. REMOVE HIGH SPEED OUTPUT GEAR BUSH AND CLUTCH HUB

(a) Using SST, remove the high speed output gear bush and clutch hub.

SST: 09950-00020

SST: 09950-00030

SST: 09950-60010

09951-00320

(b) Using a magnetic finger, remove the straight pin from the front differential case.

8. REMOVE REAR TAPER ROLLER BEARING

(a) Using SST and a press, press out the taper roller bearing.

SST: 09950-00020

SST: 09950-60010

09951-00320

NOTICE:

Set the claw of SST to the bearing inner race securely.

9. REMOVE REAR DIFFERENTIAL CASE

(a) Remove the 12 bolts and differential case.

10. REMOVE THRUST WASHER AND REAR SIDE GEAR

11. REMOVE PINION SHAFT, PINION GEAR AND THRUST WASHER

(a) Remove the straight pin from the pinion shaft.

(b) Remove the pinion shaft, 2 pinion gears and 2 thrust washers.

(c) Remove the front side gear and thrust washer.

12. REMOVE LOW GEAR

(a) Using a plastic-faced hammer, tap out the low gear.

NOTICE:

Be careful not to damage the low gear.
