Note: Ensure that the differential side bearings bores, and the pinion bearing cups are clean before proceeding.

1. Start with the original pinion shim, install the pinion shim between the pinion gear and the inner pinion bearing.

2. Set the pinion bearing pre-load. Refer to Differential Drive Pinion Gear Bearing Replacement Service and Repair.

3. Install the Differential Case Assembly. Refer to Differential Case Replacement (250mm Axle) Differential Case Replacement (250 mm Axle)Differential Case Replacement (195/218mm Axles) Differential Case Replacement (195/218 mm Axles).

4. Set the carrier bearing pre-load. Refer to Differential Carrier Bearing Preload Adjustment (195/218mm) Differential Carrier Bearing Preload Adjustment (195/218 mm)Differential Carrier Bearing Preload Adjustment (250mm) Differential Carrier Bearing Preload Adjustment (250 mm).

5. Set the back lash. Refer to Backlash Adjustment (195/218mm) Backlash Adjustment (195/218 mm)Backlash Adjustment (250mm) Backlash Adjustment (250 mm).
