Differential Side Retainer

NOTE: After adjusting the backlash and tooth contact, replace the differential side retainer oil seal and O-ring with new parts.
  1. Press-fit the side bearing outer race to the differential side retainer.
  2. Install the new differential side retainer oil seal using the ST.
    NOTE:
    • Apply differential gear oil to the differential side retainer oil seal lip.
    • Since the differential side retainer oil seal has an identification mark (R or L), be careful not to mix up the RH and LH when installing.
