Front Differential Carrier Bearing and Cup Replacement- Tools Required
- J 8092 Universal Driver Handle
- J22912-01 Split Plate Bearing Puller
- J 35512 Inner Pinion Bearing Installer
- J 43076 Carrier Bearing and Cup Installer
- J 44719 Carrier Bearing Cup Installer - F4WD,
- J 45114 Bearing Cup Remover - F4WD

Notice: Bearings and cups must be replaced as a set. Do not replace a bearing without also replacing the corresponding cup, or replace a cup without replacing the corresponding bearing. Failure to replace both components may damage the front differential carrier assembly.
1. Using the J22912-01 and an arbor press, remove the bearing assembly from the front differential carrier assembly - torque converter and differential housing side.
Important: The front differential carrier assembly must be disassembled in order to use the J 45189 and remove the bearing assembly on the transmission case side.
2. Disassemble the front differential carrier assembly.
3. Attach the J 45189 to the bearing assembly on the front differential carrier assembly transmission case side.
4. Using the J 45189, a brass drift and a hammer, remove the bearing assembly from the front differential carrier assembly - transmission case side.
5. Using the J 43076 and an arbor press, install the bearing assembly on the front differential carrier assembly - transmission case side.
Important: Perform Step 6 for 2WD applications. Perform Step 7 for F4WD applications.
6. Using the J 43076 and an arbor press, install the bearing assembly on the front differential carrier assembly - torque converter and differential housing side.
7. Using the J 35512 and an arbor press, install the bearing assembly on the front differential carrier assembly - torque converter and differential housing side.
8. Install the J 45191 into the front differential carrier bearing cup on the transmission case assembly.
9. Using 2 wrenches, tighten the J 45191.
10. Using a wrench, the J 45191 (2) and the J45124 (1), remove the front differential carrier bearing cup from the transmission case assembly.
Important: The bearing shim is reusable.
11. Remove the front differential carrier bearing shim from the transmission case assembly.
12. Remove the 3 bolts and the transmission fluid baffle from the torque converter and differential housing assembly.
Important: Use the J 45191 for 2WID applications. Use the J 45114 for F4WD applications.
13. Install the J 45191 or the J 45114 into the front differential carrier bearing cup on the torque converter and differential housing assembly.
14. Using the 2 wrenches, tighten the J 45191 or the J 45114.
15. Using a wrench, the J 45124, the J 45191 or the J 45114, remove the front differential carrier bearing cup from the torque converter and differential housing assembly.
Important: The bearing shim is reusable.
16. Remove the front differential carrier bearing shim from the torque converter and differential housing assembly.
17. Install the front differential carrier bearing shim into the transmission case assembly.
18. Using the J 8092 (1), the J 43076 (2) and a hammer, install the front differential carrier bearing cup into the transmission case assembly.
19. Install the front differential carrier bearing shim into the torque converter and differential housing assembly.
Important: Use the J 43076 for 2WD applications. Use the J 44719 for F4WD applications.
20. Using the J 8092 (1), the J 43076 (2) or the J 44719 (2) and a hammer, install the front differential carrier bearing cup into the torque converter and differential housing assembly.
Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in Cautions and Notices.
21. Install the transmission fluid baffle and the 3 bolts on the torque converter and differential housing assembly.
- Tighten the fluid baffle bolts to 11 Nm (8 ft. lbs.).
