Differential Overhaul (10.5 Inch Axle)
Disassemble Procedure
1. Remove the differential side bearings. Refer to Differential Side Bearings Replacement (Service and Repair) .
2. Remove the differential ring gear. Refer to Drive Pinion and Ring Gear Replacement (8.6, 9.5/9.5 LD, and 11.5 Inch Axles) (Drive Pinion and Ring Gear Replacement (8.6, 9.5/9.5 LD, and 11.5 Inch Axles))Drive Pinion and Ring Gear Replacement (10.5 Inch Axle) (Drive Pinion and Ring Gear Replacement (10.5 Inch Axle)) .
3. Separate the differential case (1) .
Note
If the differential pinion gears, the differential side and the thrust washers are going to be reused, mark the components so they can be re-installed in their original location in the differential case.
4. Remove the pinion gears (2), thrust washers (1) and the differential spider (3) from the differential case (6).
5. Remove the differential side gears (4) and the thrust washers (5) from the differential case (5).
Assemble Procedure
1. Apply a small amount of the proper gear lubricant to the differential side gears and the differential pinion gears. Refer to Fluid and Lubricant Recommendations .
Note
If reusing the differential side and pinion gears, install them in the original position.
2. Install the thrust washers (5) differential side gears (4) into the differential case (6).
3. Install the differential pinion gears (2), thrust washer (1) on the differential spider (3).
Note
When installing the differential spider and gears assembly, rotate the differential side gears until the
