  2. 2
    Check clearance between side gear and pinion mate gear following the procedure below.
    (1) Set Tool and dial gauge on side gear.
    (2) Move side gear up and down to measure dial gauge deflection. Always measure gauge deflection on both side gears.
    Side gear to pinion mate clearance: 0 - 0.3 mm (0 - 0.012 in).
    (3) If clearance exceeds the specified value, check for wear and replace necessary parts.
    Differential case held in a fixture with special tool KV38106100 and a dial gauge installed on the side gear to measure clearance between side gear and pinion mate gear.
