INSTALLATION

Installation is in the reverse order of removal.

CAUTION:

•  Do not reuse hose clamp and breather connector.
•  Make sure there are no pinched or restricted areas on the breather hose caused by bending or winding when installing it.
•  Install the hose clamp at the final drive side, with the tab facing to the vehicle front.
•  Install the hose clamp at the suspension member side, with the tab facing downward.
•  Use Genuine Silicone RTV or an equivalent. Refer to GI-22, "Recommended Chemical Products and Sealants".
•  Remove the old sealant from mating surfaces using a suitable tool before installing.
•  Apply liquid gasket (1) to mating surface of coupling cover.

  Use Genuine Silicone RTV or equivalent. Refer to GI-22, "Recommended Chemical Products and Sealants".

CAUTION:

•  The width of sealant bend is approximately 3 mm (0.012 in).
•  Installation should be done within 5 minutes after applying liquid gasket.
•  Do not fill the engine within engine oil for at least 30 minutes after the components are installed to allow the sealant to cure.

• Install electric controlled coupling to spline of drive pinion inside final drive assembly.

CAUTION:

•  Align the pin (A) on electric controlled coupling with the groove (B) of final drive assembly.
•  Be careful not to damage center oil seal.

• Press the electric controlled coupling pin to check that it is positioned in the groove of the final drive assembly as shown.

  NOTE: If the pin is properly positioned in the groove, then the electric controlled coupling can be pressed into position by the same amount of flection of the wave washer.

• Temporarily tighten reamer bolts (1) to the positions shown.

CAUTION:

• • Do not use tools. Always tighten by hand.
• • If reamer bolts cannot be tightened all the way by hand, the electric controlled coupling pin may not be positioned in the groove of the final drive assembly. In this case, remove electric controlled coupling and reinstall it.

• When oil leaks while removing, check oil level after the installation. Refer to DLN-111, "Inspection".
