Differential Carrier, Rear

The first step for installing the rear differential carrier assembly with differential lock requires cleaning both the differential carrier assembly and axle housing contact surfaces and removing any present dust and oil. First apply a new gasket before installing the differential carrier assembly and 11 washers with the 11 nuts and torque them to 25 Nm (255 kgf-cm, 18 ft-lbf). After installing the wire harness with its accompanying 2 nuts at 23 Nm torque (235 kgf-cm; 17 ft-lbf), one should connect the breather tube before finishing with the connector of the 2 actuators. The correct procedure should be used to install the rear axle shaft LH before repeating the same process for the rear axle shaft RH. Mount the rear propeller shaft according to necessary methods which cover both 2WD and 4WD configurations. Complete the task by adding differential oil then check for the proper condition of the differential oil when necessary.

The installation of the rear differential carrier assembly starts with cleaning the contact areas between the rear differential carrier assembly and rear axle housing assembly. Installation of the differential carrier assembly with its new gasket requires 10 nuts and 10 washers and torques to 20 Nm (204 kgf-cm, 15 ft-lbf). Beginning with the rear axle shaft installation comes the backing plate followed by the parking brake shoe sequence of components including parking brake shoe strut LH and parking brake shoe strut compression spring and eventually parking brake shoe return tension spring. The rear disc requires installation and two bolts should be used with the rear disc brake caliper assembly LH and RH for a torque of 88 Nm (897 kgf-cm, 65 ft-lbf). Connect the rear speed sensor LH and RH using the same installation methods for the RH side. After installing the propeller shaft assembly, addition of brake fluid to the reservoir is necessary followed by master cylinder bleeding alongside brake line bleeding and reservoir brake fluid level adjustment. The technician must inspect for brake fluid leaks while filling differential oil and checking the condition of the differential oil. You should finish by installing the rear wheel then torque it to 112 Nm (1,142 kgf-cm, 83 ft-lbf). After that check the ABS sensor signal and adjust the parking brake lever travel.

Remove the rear axle shaft with backing plate.
