One-Piece, Conventional Differential Case and Ring Gear
Differential Case and Ring Gear - One Piece, Conventional
Special Tool(s)
Disassembly
1. Remove the differential case.
2. Remove the ring gear bolts.
3. Insert a punch in the bolt holes and drive the ring gear off.
4. NOTE: The anti-lock speed sensor ring cannot be reused once removed.
Remove the anti-lock speed sensor ring.
5. If required, remove the differential bearings.
6. Remove the differential pinion shaft lock bolt and the differential pinion shaft.
7. Rotate and remove the differential pinion gears and differential pinion thrust washers.
8. Remove the differential side gears and the differential side gear thrust washers.
Assembly
1. Position the differential side gear thrust washers on the differential side gears.
^ Use Premium Long-Life Grease XG-1-C or equivalent meeting Ford specification ESA-M1C75-B to lubricate the differential side gear thrust washers and the differential side gear journals.
2. Position the differential side gears.
3. Assemble the differential pinion thrust washers and the differential pinion gears.
^ Lubricate with Premium Long-Life Grease XG-1-C or equivalent meeting Ford specification ESA-M1C75-B.
4. Engage the differential pinion gears opposite the differential side gears.
5. Rotate the differential pinion gears to align the differential pinion shaft bore.
6. CAUTION: If a new pinion shaft lock bolt is not available, use Stud and Bearing Mount E0AZ-19554-BA or equivalent meeting Ford specification WSK-M2G349-A1 and tighten to specification.
Insert the differential pinion shaft, and install a new differential pinion shaft lock bolt.
7. Using the special tool, install the differential bearings.
8. Press the new anti-lock speed sensor ring and the ring gear on the differential case.
9. Install the ring gear bolts and tighten.
^ Apply Stud and Bearing Mount E0AZ-19554-BA or equivalent meeting Ford specification WSK-M2G349-A1 to the ring gear bolts.
10. Install the differential case.
