Left Case Disassembly and Reassembly: Reassembly

If oil gutter has been removed, install it with bolt to which thread lock cement has been applied.
"A": Thread lock cement 99000-32110Thread Lock Cement Super 1322

Tightening torque

Oil gutter bolt a: 10 N.m (1.0 kg-m, 7.5 lb-ft)

Select differential side shim as follows.
1. Keep pushing outer race (4) with the power of 35 N (3.5 kgf) and turn differential case 10 times or more.
2. Measure distance "a" of differential assembly (1).
3. Measure depth "b" of left case (2) and "c" of right case (3).
4. Calculate the clearance of "d" by the following expressions.
  Clearance of "d" = Depth "b"+ Depth "c"- Distance "a"
