A professional service of the ring gear differential's axle shaft should start with positioning the vehicle in neutral while using a hoist as the next step. Follow this procedure to detach the wheel along with tire assembly following the differential housing cover removal. Thereafter detach the two disc
Brake Caliper bolts before placing the caliper securely with mechanic's wire for support. The first step involves pulling out the
Brake Pads followed by extracting the two anchor bolts of the brake caliper and the caliper anchor. The
Brake Disc should be the next component to be removed from the system. Cautious handling of the rear brake anti-lock sensor is needed so start by removing its bolt before taking the sensor from the hub. Break the differential pinion shaft by removing its lock bolt then extracting the shaft assembly. When you remove the U-washer from the axle shaft grooves you should avoid harming the rubber O-ring by pushing the shaft inward. Remove the axle shaft with delicate movements in order to protect the oil seal from damage. Apply grease to the open edge of the axle shaft oil seal before fitting the shaft and verify that the seal stays intact. Follow these steps to install the U-washer when you put it on the button end of the axle shaft while extending the shaft outward. The existing differential pinion lock bolt threads should receive a threadlock and sealer coating if no replacement is possible while installing the differential pinion shaft until its hole aligns with the differential case lock bolt hole. Install a new lock bolt that requires 30 Nm (22 foot pound torque) for fastening. The installation of anti-lock sensor and its bolt requires applying high temperature nickel anti-seize lubricant followed by tightening to 7 Nm (62 inch lbs.). Mount and secure the brake disc but also install the disc brake caliper anchor then tighten its two bolts to 103 Nm (76 ft. lbs.). Second you need to install the disc brake pads combined with the disc brake caliper and secure its two bolts through torquing them to 33 Nm (25 ft. lbs.). Replace the differential housing cover before putting back the tire and wheel assembly.
