Disassembly [09/2022 - ]: Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2025 Toyota GR Corolla, 2024 Toyota GR Corolla, and 2023 Toyota GR Corolla. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. REMOVE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL RING GEAR 
    1. Mount the front differential ring gear in a vise between aluminum plates.
      NOTE:
      • Be careful not to damage the front differential ring gear.
      • Do not overtighten the vise.
    2. Put matchmarks on the front differential ring gear and front No. 1 differential case sub-assembly.

    4. Using a plastic-faced hammer, remove the front No. 1 differential case sub-assembly from the front differential ring gear.
  2. INSPECT FRONT NO. 1 DIFFERENTIAL CASE SUB-ASSEMBLY (w/o LSD) 

    See step  1

  3. REMOVE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL PINION SHAFT STRAIGHT PIN (w/o LSD) 
    1. Using a 5 mm pin punch and hammer, remove the front differential pinion shaft straight pin from the front No. 1 differential case sub-assembly.

      • SST: 09528-52010 
        1. 09528-05010
        2. 09953-05010
      NOTE:

      Do not overtighten SST, as doing so will damage the front differential side gear, conical spring, front No. 1 differential side gear thrust washer and front No. 1 differential case sub-assembly.

      HINT: 

      • Tighten SST until there is a clearance between the front differential pinions and front differential side gears.
      • When removing the front differential pinions, do not overtighten SST, as it is necessary to rotate the front differential side gears.
    2. Install SST as shown in the illustration, rotate the front differential side gear, and then remove the 2 front differential pinions and 2 front differential pinion thrust washers from the front No. 1 differential case sub-assembly.

      NOTE:

      Do not drop the front differential pinion and front differential pinion thrust washer.

    3. Remove SST from the front No. 1 differential case sub-assembly, and then remove the 2 front differential side gears, 2 front No. 1 differential side gear thrust washers and 2 conical springs from the front No. 1 differential case sub-assembly.
