Reassembly
Judging from abnormality noted before disassembly and what is found through visual check of component parts after disassembly, prepare replacing parts and proceed to reassembly. Check that all parts are clean.
1)Install differential pinion, side gear and pinion shaft to differential case and measure thrust play of differential side gear as follows.
If measured value is out of specification, select suitable side gear washer from the following available sizes, install it and check again.
Special Tool
(A): 09900–20607
(B): 09900–20701
(C): 09952–06010
Differential side gear thrust play
•Hold differential assembly with soft jawed vise and apply measuring tip of dial gauge to side gear as shown in figure.
•Move side gear up and down by hand and read dial gauge.

5)Hold differential assembly with soft jawed vise (3), install final gear (2) and then tighten new final gear bolts (1).
NOTICE:
The bolts may loosen during operation of the differential if any bolts other than the specified bolts are installed.
Use only the specified bolts.
Tightening torque
Final gear bolt (a): 120 N·m (12.2 kgf-m, 88.5 lbf-ft)
