10.5 Inch Axle

Locking Differential Assemble (10.5 Inch Axle)






Important: The left and right side gear backlash and thrust block thickness measurement must be completed before the components of the differential can be assembled.

1. Install the differential side gear shim into the right side or bell-end differential case half.





2. Install the differential side gear clutch disc assembly into the right side or bell-end differential case half.





3. Install the differential side gear into the right side or bell-end differential case half.





4. Install the locking differential clutch disc thrust washer into the left side or flange-end differential case half.





5. Install the locking differential cam unit and clutch disc assembly into the left side or flange-end differential case half.





6. Install the governor assembly.





7. Install the latching bracket and spring assembly.
The straight end of the latching bracket spring must be over and outside the governor assembly shaft.





8. Install the locking differential spider, the differential pinion gears, and the differential pinion gear thrust washers into the differential case.





9. Install the thrust block.





10. Install the right case half to the left case half.

Hold the right side locking differential side gear and clutch disc assembly in the right side case half.

Align the governor and latching bracket assembly shaft with the holes in the left case half.






Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

11. Install the differential case bolts.

Tighten the differential case screws to 50 Nm (37 ft. lbs.).
12. Install the ring gear.
13. Install the differential side bearings.
14. Install the differential assembly.
