Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Transfer Output Retainer Assembly Disassembly and Reassembly: Reassembly
- Bevel gear and pinion must be replaced as a set when replacement of either one becomes necessary.
- When replacing taper roller bearing, replace it as inner race and outer race assembly.
- Press-fit outer races (front and rear) by using special tools and hydraulic press.

- Select transfer output retainer shim using the following procedures:
- Apply gear oil "A" to taper roller bearing (front (1) and rear (2)).
- Install taper roller bearing (front and rear) and special tools (pinion dummy) to transfer output retainer (3).NOTE: Special tools (A) - (D) are included in differential adjuster set (09922-76110).

- Tighten bevel pinion nut (special tool) so that specified bearing preload is obtained.NOTE: Before preload measurement with torque wrench, rotate special tool more than 15 revolutions by hand.
Rotational torque of bevel pinion (Bearing preload)
0.5 - 1.3 N.m (0.05 - 0.13 kgf-m, 0 - 1.0 lbf-ft) (rotational speed about 50 rpm)
- Calculate thickness of shim "f" with calculating formula.
"f" = "c" + "d" - "e"
- "c" = "a" - "b"
- "a": height from transfer output retainer installation surface (1) to pinion dummy top (mm (in.))
- "b": pinion dummy height (40 mm (1.5748 in.))
- "d": mounting distance of bevel pinion (2) (70.00 mm (2.7559 in.))
- "e": distance between transfer output retainer installation surface (3) and bevel gear center line (4) (100.95 mm (3.9744 in.))
Special Tool
- 09922-76140
- "c" = "a" - "b"
- Select a shim closest to the calculated value (necessary shim thickness) from among the available shims or combine shims to become closest to calculated value.
Available transfer output retainer shim thickness
TRANSFER OUTPUT RETAINER SHIM THICKNESS SPECIFICATIONSelect shim 0.30 mm (0.012 in.) 1.85 mm (0.072 in.) 1.88 mm (0.074 in.) 1.91 mm (0.075 in.) 1.94 mm (0.076 in.) 1.97 mm (0.077 in.) 2.00 mm (0.078 in.) 2.03 mm (0.079 in.) 2.06 mm (0.081 in.) 2.09 mm (0.082 in.) 2.12 mm (0.083 in.) 2.15 mm (0.084 in.)
- Press-fit front taper roller bearing (2) to bevel pinion (3) by using special tool and hydraulic press (1).
Special Tool
- 09913-84510
- Apply gear oil "A" to front taper roller bearing (1).
- Install bevel pinion (3) with new spacer (2) to transfer output retainer (4).CAUTION: Be sure to use new spacer.
- Apply gear oil "A" to rear taper roller bearing (5).
- Install rear taper roller bearing to bevel pinion by using special tool tapping lightly with plastic hammer.
Special Tool

- Apply grease to new oil seal (1) lip.
"A": Grease 99000-25011 (SUZUKI Super Grease A)
- Install oil seal in transfer output retainer (2) by using special tool and hammer.
Special Tool
- 09913-85210
Transfer output flange oil seal installing depth
"g": 23.0 - 24.0 mm (0.90 - 0.94 in.)
- Install transfer output flange (1) by tapping with plastic hammer and tighten new transfer output flange nut gradually so as rotational torque of bevel pinion to be in specified value.CAUTION: The transfer output flange nut is precoated with adhesive. If an overtightened nut is loosened to the specified torque and is used as it is, the nut may loosen. To tighten the transfer output flange nut, tighten the nut slowly and carefully while measuring the pinion preload, until the specified pinion preload is obtained. Never loosen the nut. If the nut is overtightened, replace the spacer and nut and then tighten the nut.

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
