A/T Differential Carrier Bearing Replacement

A/T Differential Carrier Bearing Replacement

Special Tools Required

- Installer Attachment 40 mm 07LAD-PW50601

NOTE:

- The bearing and the bearing outer race should be replaced as a set.
- Inspect and adjust the carrier bearing preload whenever bearing is replaced.
- Check the bearing for wear and rough rotation. If the bearing is OK, removal is not necessary.
- The illustration shows the 4WD; the 2WD is similar.

1. Remove the final driven gear from the differential carrier.

NOTE: Final driven gear removal is not needed when replacing the carrier bearing on the opposite side of the final driven gear.

2. Place a spacer (A) on the differential carrier (B), and set a commercially available puller (C) and a bearing separator (D) under the carrier bearing (E), then remove the carrier bearing.






3. Install new carrier bearings using the attachment (40 x 50 mm) and a press. Press the bearing on securely so there is no clearance between the bearing and the differential carrier.





4. Install the final driven gear if the gear was removed.
