Front
REPLACEMENT1. To begin the removal, start by shifting the front differential lock.
2. Remove the actuator by performing the following.
a. Disconnect the connector and tube.
b. Remove the 2 nuts, bolt and actuator.
c. Remove the O-ring from the actuator.
3. Install the actuator by performing the following procedures.
a. Check that the outermost rack tooth of the shift fork is virtually above the center line of the actuator installation hole.
b. Using a dry cell battery, align the matchmark on the actuator pinion with the center line of the actuator.
NOTE: If the pinion of the actuator is not in the specified place. the actuator is difficult to be installed. Do not supply the battery positive voltage between terminals. If the matchmark comes to the extension limit of the rotation, do not electrify moreover.
c. Install a new O-ring to the actuator.
d. Apply a light coat of gear oil on the O-ring.
e. Apply MP grease to the gear part of the actuator.
f. Install the actuator to the differential with the 2 nuts and bolt, so that the outermost rack tooth of the shift fork will fit matchmark of the pinion of the actuator tightening to 26 Nm (20 ft. lbs.). Take care to not damage the O-ring of the actuator.
g. Connect the connector and tube.
NOTE:
^ The depth of the insertion of the bleeder tube into the hose is approx. 15 mm (0.59 inch).
^ Take care that water or the equivalent will not adhere to the connector and hose.
4. Cancel the front differential lock by doing this procedure, with the ignition switch ON, turn the differential lock control switch to OFF to cancel the differential lock.
