Work before removal

Preparatory work: Installation of differential working base
assembly
• Install the reduction and differential on .

Inspection: Backlash between reduction gear and reduction

pinion
• If backlash is found faulty, the tightening amount of the side
bearing nut is probably inappropriate.

Inspection: Wobble at back face of reduction gear

• Measure wobble at the illustrated position of the reduction gear.

Inspection: Starting torque of side bearing

• Measure the tangential force at the outer periphery point of the
differential case using a spring balancer.
• If the tangential force is within the range of the measured value,
the starting torque conforms to the standard value.
NOTE
• Measure the starting torque within the range of backlash
between the reduction gear and reduction pinion.

• Starting torque may be measured of the pinion assembly by us-

ing a torque wrench.
(Total starting torque – Pinion bearing starting torque) ×
Final ratio = Side bearing starting torque
NOTE
• Always measure the starting torque within the range of
backlash between the reduction gear and reduction pinion.

Inspection: Tooth contact of reduction gear
• Apply red lead to three to four teeth at three equally spaced
points of the reduction gear.
• Turn the reduction gear several times to check for tooth contact.

Alignment marks: Bearing cap and differential carrier

• Put alignment marks on the bearing cap and differential carrier
for correct identification of right and left parts.

Removal procedure
Removal: Side bearing inner race

Inspection: Starting torque of pinion bearing

• After removing the differential, measure the starting torque of

Adjustment procedure
Adjustment: Pinion
• Perform the following steps to adjust A, B and C within the spec-
ified dimensions.
• Calculate shim thickness D by using the following formula based
on the machining error data stamped on pinion assembly and
differential carrier.
• Formula:
D = 0.5 {0.020} – a + b + c

ential carrier.

• Aligning the embossed alignment mark on the bearing retainer

of the pinion assembly with that on the differential carrier, mount

tion pinion
• Adjust backlash with the side bearing nut, using care not to allow

• When one side bearing nut is loosened, be sure to tighten
the other one the same amount to prevent the side bearing
starting torque from changing.

Inspection: Wobble at back face of reduction gear

• If the measured value deviates from the standard value, replace
the reduction gear and reduction pinion of the differential as a

Inspection: Limited slip differential

(1) Inspection of contacting and sliding surfaces
• If heat discoloration and remarkable wear are found on friction
surfaces and sliding surfaces of the spring plates, spring discs,
friction discs and friction plates, replace defective parts.
NOTE
• Strong contact on the inner periphery of friction surfaces is
caused by the spring force of each plate and disc. Do not
mistake that it is caused by abnormal wear.

• If cracks and damage are found on protrusions on the inside and

outside periphery of the spring plates, friction discs and friction
plates, replace defective parts.
• If dents and damage are found on the friction surfaces and slid-
ing surfaces of the pressure rings to friction discs, polish them
with an oilstone, and lap and correct them with a compound on a
surface plate.
NOTE
• Strong contact on the inner periphery of friction surfaces is
caused by the spring force of each plate and disc. Do not
mistake that it is caused by abnormal wear.
• Inspect contacting and sliding areas of the differential case
LH, side gear washers, pressure rings, side gears, differential
pinion, pinion spider and differential case RH, and correct burrs
and dents with an oilstone.

(2) Inspection of distortion

• Apply a dial gauge to the friction disc and friction plate on a sur-
face plate and measure their distortion (flatness) while turning
them. If the measured value exceeds the limit, replace.

(3) Inspection of thickness
• Measure thickness of the friction surfaces and protrusions of
the spring plate, friction disc and friction plate, and find the differ-
ence. If it exceeds the limit, replace defective parts.
NOTE
• Take measurement at several points for each part.

Work before assembly

• Before assembling the limited slip differential, adjust the dimen-
sional difference (friction force of clutch plate) in the axial direc-
tion and the clearance in the side gear axial direction, when
assembling integral parts of the differential cases LH and RH, in
the following procedure.

• Pile friction discs and friction plates as illustrated and measure

thickness with a micrometer. Select the combination so that the
difference in thickness between the right and left combination
falls within the range of the standard value.
Thickness of friction discs available
1.9, 2.0, 2.1 mm {0.075, 0.079, 0.083 in.} (three sizes)
Thickness of friction plates available
2.0 mm {0.079 in.} (one size)

• Pile a spring plate and a spring disc as illustrated and measure

thickness with a micrometer. Select the combination so that the
difference in thickness between the right and left combination is
as small as possible.
Thickness of spring plates available
2.0 mm {0.079 in.} (one size)

• Assemble the pressure rings, pinion spiders, friction discs, fric-

tion plates, spring plates and spring discs and measure overall
width A with a micrometer.
NOTE
• Measure the overall width with the V-shaped groove of the
pressure ring pressed against the pinion spider from both
sides to obtain secure contact.

27-60
 27
https://truckmanualshub.com/

• Find dimension B between spring plate contact faces when the

differential cases LH and RH are combined.
B=C+D–E

• If overall width A measured in the previous item and the clear-

ance (B-A) between the differential cases LH and RH deviate
from the standard value, adjust by changing a friction plate.
Thickness of friction plates available
1.9, 2.0, 2.1 mm {0.075, 0.079, 0.083 in.} (three sizes)

• After installing the side gear washers as illustrated, make sure

that the difference between F and G dimensions from the back
face of the pressure rings to the end face of the side gear wash-
ers falls within the range of the standard value.
NOTE
• Measure the dimensions with the V-shaped groove of the
pressure ring pressed against the pinion spider from both
sides to obtain secure contact.

• If the difference in dimension deviates from the standard value,

adjust by changing the side gear washer.
Thickness of side gear washers available
1.5, 1.6, 1.7 mm {0.059, 0.063, 0.067 in.} (three sizes)

• Measure overall width H.

• Find dimension J between side gear washer contact faces when

the differential cases LH and RH are combined.
J=B+K+L
NOTE
• For dimension B, refer to the difference between spring
plate contact surfaces found in the previous item when the
differential cases LH and RH are combined.

• Check that clearance in the side gear axial direction is within the
range of the standard value.
• If the clearance deviates from the standard value, adjust by
changing the side gear washer.
Thickness of side gear washer available
1.5, 1.6, 1.7 mm {0.059, 0.063, 0.067 in.} (three sizes)
NOTE
• Select side gear washers so that the right and left dimen-
sional difference from the back face of the pressure rings to
the end face of the side gear washers conforms to the stan-
dard value.

• When assembling, apply gear oil to each part. Especially,
apply gear oil carefully to contact surfaces and sliding sur-
faces.

• Aligning the alignment mark (the same Arabic numeral) of the

differential case LH with that of the differential case RH, tighten
screws in the diagonal sequence gradually and evenly.
NOTE
• If the differential cases LH and RH do not contact positively
each other even after screws have been tightened fully, im-
properly assembled side gear washers and spring plates
are suspected. In that case, reassemble these parts.

Inspection: Rotation torque of limited slip differential clutch

plate
• After assembling LSD, carry out the following inspection.
• Measure the rotation torque to check for the friction force of the
clutch plate.
NOTE
• For measurement of rotation torque, rotate the side gears to
sufficiently smooth their operation and measure the value
during their rotation.

• If the measured value deviates from the standard value, replace

defective parts of the internal components.
