Differential Case Assembly Assemble

^ Tools Required
- J 33790 Differential Side Bearing Installer
- J 8092 Universal Driver Handle- 3/4 in - 10





1. Install the thrust washers and the differential side gears into the differential case. If the same differential side gears and the thrust washers are being used, install the gears and the washers to the original locations.
2. Install the differential pinion gears.
2.1. Position 1 pinion gear between the differential side gears.
2.2. Rotate the differential side gears until the pinion gear is directly opposite the opening in the differential case.
2.3. Place the other pinion gear between the differential side gears. Line up the hole in both pinion gears.
3. Install the thrust washers. Rotate the pinion gears toward the opening in order to permit the sliding in of the thrust washers.
4. Install the pinion gear shaft.

Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions.

5. Install the pinion gear shaft lock bolt.
^ Tighten the pinion shaft lock bolt to 35 Nm (26 ft. lbs.).

Important: The mating surface of the ring gear and the differential case must be clean and free of burrs before installing the ring gear.

6. Install the ring gear onto the differential case.





7. Place the ring gear on the case.
8. Install the new ring gear bolts. Tighten the ring gear bolts alternately and in stages, gradually pulling the ring gear onto the differential case. Tighten Tighten the ring gear bolts in sequence to 83 Nm (61 ft. lbs.).





9. Install the differential case bearings using the J 8092 (1) and the J 33790 (2).
