Special Tools Required 

Driver Handle, 40 mm I.D. 07746-0030100

1. Remove the transmission housing side oil seal (see OIL SEAL REPLACEMENT  ).
2. If you removed the 80 mm shim (A) from the transmission housing, reinstall the same sized shim.

4. Install the transmission housing onto the clutch housing, then tighten the 8 x 1.25 mm flange bolts in a crisscross pattern in several steps (see step  15 ).

   Specified Torque: 8 x 1.25 mm 

   27 N.m (2.8 kgf.m, 20 lbf.ft) 

5. Use the 40 mm driver handle to bottom the differential assembly in the clutch housing.

6. Measure the clearance between the 80 mm shim and the bearing outer race in transmission housing.

   Standard: 0.01-0.10 mm (0.0004-0.0039 in)
