Differential — disassembly and assembly (Hyundai Accent X3)

Disassembly

1. Clamp the differential housing in a vice.

2. Loosen the differential drive gear mounting bolts and remove it from the differential housing.

3. Using a special tool (09432-21000), remove the ball bearings.

Note: Do not reuse removed bearings.

4. Using a punch, knock the locking pin out of hole A.

5. Remove the satellite axle.

6. Remove the satellites, washers, axle gears and spacer washers.

Assembly

1. Install spacer washers behind the axle gears, then install them into the differential housing.

Notes:
1. When installing new axle gears, use spacer washers of medium thickness (0.83-053mm).
2. Do not reuse the locking pin.
3. The head of the locking pin must be located below the surface of the differential housing flange.

2. Place a washer on the back of each pinion and position both pinions so that they engage the axle gears by turning them.

3. Enter the satellite axis.

4. Measure the clearance in the engagement of the axle gears with the satellites.

• Nominal value - 0.025-0.150 mm

5. If the clearance is outside the specified limits, disassemble the differential, install spacer washers of the required thickness, reassemble the differential and check the engagement clearance.

Note: Adjust the clearance on both axle gears to the same value.

6. Align the locking pin holes in the pinion shaft and the differential housing and install the locking pin.

Notes:
1. Do not reuse the locking pin.
2. The head of the locking pin should not protrude more than 3 mm.

7. Using a special tool (09455-21000), install tapered roller bearings on both sides of the differential housing.

Note: When installing bearings with a press fit, apply pressure only to the inner ring.

8. Tighten the bolts to the specified tightening torque. Follow the tightening sequence shown in the figure.
