NOTICE:

Be sure to install the differential case tapered roller bearing (rear side outer race) so that there is no clearance between the differential case tapered roller bearing (rear side outer race), shim and automatic transaxle case sub-assembly. If there is any clearance, the turning torque of the differential case assembly cannot be measured correctly.

(a) Using SST and a press, install a new differential case tapered roller bearing (front side inner race) to the differential case assembly.

SST: 09316-20011

SST: 09387-00020

(b) Using SST and a hammer, install a new differential case tapered roller bearing (front side outer race) to the transaxle housing.

NOTICE:

Be sure to install the differential case tapered roller bearing (front side outer race) so that there is no clearance between the differential case tapered roller bearing (front side outer race) and transaxle housing. If there is any clearance, the turning torque of the differential case assembly cannot be measured correctly.

(b) Install the differential case assembly to the automatic transaxle case sub-assembly.

(c) Install the transaxle housing to the automatic transaxle case sub-assembly with the 24 bolts.

Torque:

Bolt (A), (B), (D) :

29 N·m {296 kgf·cm, 21 ft·lbf}

Bolt (C) :

35 N·m {357 kgf·cm, 26 ft·lbf}

(d) Using SST, turn the differential case assembly right and left 2 or 3 times to settle the bearings.
