(19) The following steps will determine how many
foot pounds are required on the outer differential
adjuster to obtain the correct turning torque.
CAUTION: Failure to set differential bearing preload
correctly may cause bearing failure, gear noise
and/or axle shaft seal failure.

(Fig. 200).
(21) Remove old stub shaft seals. Press inner
adjuster seal out with special tool 6502B. Press outer
adjuster seal out with special tool 6558.
