Differential Case Assembly

^ Tools Required:
- J 8107-4 Differential Side Bearing Remover Plug
- J 8092 Driver Handle
- J 22761 Differential Side Bearing Installer

^ Lubricate all parts with axle lubricant.

INSTALL OR CONNECT
1. Side gear thrust washers (19) to the side gears (22).
2. Side gears (22) to the differential case (24).
- Reinstall the side gears on the same side as removed.
3. Pinion gears (21) to the differential without the thrust washers (20).
- Place one pinion gear onto the side gears so the holes in the pinion gears are 180° apart.
- Rotate the pinion gears into place, and verify that the pinion gears line up with the pinion shaft holes.
4. Pinion thrust washers (20).
- Rotate the pinion gears toward the differential opening enough to slide in the pinion thrust washers.
- Make sure the mating surfaces of the differential case and ring gear are clean and burr free.
5. Ring gear (7) to the differential case (24).





A. Thread two left-hand threaded studs into the ring gear on opposite sides.
B. Place the ring gear onto the case and align the holes in the case with the studs.





C. Press the ring gear onto the case far enough to start the bolts using J 8107-4 to protect the differential from the press ram.
6. Ring gear bolts (23).
- Tighten the ring gear bolts alternately in stages gradually pulling the ring gear onto the differential case.
- Tighten the ring gear bolts in sequence to 120 Nm (90 ft. lbs.).





7. Differential side bearings (8) using J 22761, J 8107-4, and J 8092.
A. Place J 8107-4 into the differential on the side opposite of bearing installation to protect the differential case.
B. Drive the bearing onto the case using J 22761 and J 8092.
8. Differential case (24) to the axle housing. Refer to SIDE BEARING PRELOAD ADJUSTMENT.
