Power Train Disassembly & Assembly
1. Attach a dial indicator on the mounting flange of
the carrier.
2. Adjust the dial indicator so that the plunger or
pointer is against the tooth surface.
3. Adjust the indicator dial to zero (0).
4. Hold the drive pinion in position.
5. After reading the dial indicator, rotate the
differential and ring gear a small amount in both
directions, against the drive pinion teeth. If the
backlash reading is within specification, continue
inspecting tooth contact patterns. If the backlash
reading is not within specifications, adjust backlash
as needed. Continue following steps 6 and 7.
NOTE : Backlash is increased by moving the ring
gear away from the drive pinion.
NOTE : Backlash is decreased by moving the ring
gear toward the drive pinion.
6. Loosen one bearing adjusting ring one notch then
tighten the opposite ring the same amount.
NOTE : When adjusting backlash, move the ring
gear ONLY. DO NOT move the drive pinion to adjust
backlash.
7. Repeat steps 2-6 until the backlash is within
specifications.
