   NOTICE:

   Clearance is not allowed between the bearing and transaxle housing.

1. Install the differential assembly to the transaxle case.
   

2. Clean the matching surfaces of the transaxle case and transaxle housing.
   

3. Install the transaxle housing to the transaxle case and tighten them with the 16 bolts.
   

   Torque:

   Turning torque at 60 rpm:

   New bearing:

   0.20 to 0.69 N*m (2.0 to 7.0 kgf*cm, 1.8 to 6.1 in.*lbf)
   

   Used bearing:

   0.10 to 0.35 N*m (1.0 to 3.6 kgf*cm, 0.9 to 3.1 in.*lbf)
   

   HINT:

   If the turning torque is not within the specified range, refer to the table below to select a thrust washer so that the turning torque is within the specified range.

6. Remove the 16 bolts and the transaxle housing.
   

7. Remove the differential assembly.
   

1. Using ATF and a heater, heat the front differential ring gear to 90 to 110°C (194.0 to 230.0°F).
   

   NOTICE:

   Do not overheat the ring gear over 110°C (230.0°F).

2. Clean the contact surface of the front differential case.
   

3. Align the matchmarks, and install the front differential ring gear case quickly.
