1. Using a screwdriver and hammer, tap out the oil storage ring.
   

1. Install a new bearing spacer.
   

   HINT:

   Be careful of the installation direction of the spacer.

1. Using a brass bar and hammer, tap in the oil storage ring.
   

   NOTICE:

   Be careful not to damage the oil seal storage ring.

1. Using SST and a hammer, install a new roller bearing (outer).

   Torque:

   370 N*m{ 3,770 kgf*cm , 27 ft.*lbf } or less

1. Using a torque wrench, measure the preload.
   

   Preload (at start of torque):

   Item	Specified Condition
   New bearing	0.98 to 1.57 N*m (10 to 16 kgf*cm, 8.7 to 13.9 in.*lbf)
   Reused bearing	0.49 to 0.78 N*m (5 to 8 kgf*cm, 4.3 to 6.9 in.*lbf)

   1. If the result is not as specified, adjust the preload (see page).
      

1. Using a chisel and hammer, stake the nut.
   

1. Install the propeller shaft (Click here).
   

1. Refill differential oil (Click here).
   

1. Stop the vehicle on a level surface.
   

2. Remove the differential filler plug and gasket.
   

3. Check that the oil level is between 0 to 5 mm (0 to 0.20 in.) from the bottom lip of the differential filler plug hole.
   

   NOTICE:

   1. After changing the oil seal, drive the vehicle and then check the oil level again.
      
   1. Too much or too little oil will lead to differential problems.
      

   HINT:

   If necessary, fill the differential carrier assembly with hypoid gear oil.

   Recommended viscosity:

   Temperature	Viscosity
   Above -18°C (0°F)	SAE 90
   Below -18°C (0°F)	SAE 80W or 80W - 90

   Oil grade:

   Hypoid gear oil API GL-5

   w/ A.D.D.:

   1.60 to 1.70 liters (1.69 to 1.80 US qts., 1.40 to 1.50 lmp. qts.)
   

   Rear differential:

   2WD:

   3.15 to 3.25 liters (3.30 to 3.43 US qts., 2.77 to 2.86 lmp. qts.)
