Assembly Procedures
NOTE: The crownwheel and pinion are matched and
should be replaced as a set, if either one is
damaged or excessively worn.
The two differential case halves are also matched,
as are the differential side gears and planet gears.
Do not use unmatched case halves or gears.
NOTE: Make sure all bearings are lightly oiled before
installing and setting. Make sure to rotate bearings
while setting.
1. If required, install the crownwheel to the differential case
half. Tighten the crownwheel retaining bolts to a torque
of 122 lb-ft (166 Nm).
Assemble the differential gears and their spherical
washers into the bottom half housing Figure 8-31. Install
the differential bearing cones.
2. Position the top half housing onto the differential,
aligning the match mark letters. Apply Loctite 242 to the
threads of bolts D Figure 8-32. Install the bolts and
tighten to a torque of 42 lb-ft (56 Nm). Check the gears
for free rotation.
3. Install the pinion bearing cup Figure 8-33, together with
the required thickness of shims to give correct pinion
depth (see Pinion Depth on page 8-14). To ensure that
cup is installed square, use a suitable puller assembly.
Do not use a hammer. Install the outer bearing cup.
4. Install the pinion inner bearing cone Figure 8-34 and a
new collapsible spacer.
