Lexus ES: Disassembly
DISASSEMBLY
PROCEDURE
1. REMOVE FRONT DRIVE SHAFT OIL SEAL RH
| (a) Hold the differential case assembly in a vise between aluminum plates. NOTICE: Do not overtighten the vise. |
|
(b) Using SST, remove the front drive shaft oil seal RH from the differential case assembly.
SST: 09308-00010
NOTICE:
Be careful not to damage the oil seal installation surface of the differential case assembly.
2. REMOVE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL CASE REAR TAPERED ROLLER BEARING (OUTER RACE)
(a) Using SST, remove the front differential case rear tapered roller bearing (outer race) from the automatic transaxle case sub-assembly.
SST: 09308-36010
NOTICE:
Be careful not to damage the automatic transaxle case sub-assembly.
HINT:
Align the claw of SST with the indentation of the automatic transaxle case sub-assembly when removing the parts.
3. REMOVE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL CASE REAR TAPERED ROLLER BEARING (INNER RACE)
| (a) Using SST, remove the front differential case rear tapered roller bearing (inner race) from the differential case assembly. SST: 09950-40011 09951-04010 09952-04010 09953-04030 09954-04020 09955-04011 09957-04010 09958-04011 SST: 09950-60011 09951-00340 09951-00440 09952-06010 NOTICE: Because SST is attached to the roller portion, there is a possibility that the roller portion could break and SST could come off before the front differential case rear tapered roller bearing (inner race) comes off. |
|
| (b) If the roller portion breaks and SST comes off, reattach SST to the inner race in the position shown in the illustration, and continue removing the parts. SST: 09950-40011 09951-04010 09952-04010 09953-04030 09954-04020 09955-04011 09957-04010 09958-04011 SST: 09950-60011 09951-00340 09951-00440 09952-06010 |
