Differential Case Assembly

- Tools Required:
- J 22761 Side Bearing installer
- J 8092 Driver Handle

INSTALL OR CONNECT

NOTICE: Always use the correct fastener in the proper location. When you replace a fastener, use ONLY the exact part number for that application. The manufacturer will call out those fasteners that require a replacement after removal. The manufacturer will also call out the fasteners that require thread lockers or thread sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do not use supplemental coatings (paints, greases, or other corrosion inhibitors on threaded fasteners or fastener joint interfaces. Generally, such coatings adversely affect the fastener torque and joint clamping force, and may damage the fastener. When you Install fasteners, use the correct tightening sequence and specifications. Following these instructions can help you avoid damage to parts and systems.

1. Thrust washers and side gears into the differential case.
- If the same gears and washers are being used, install them on the same side they were removed from.
2. Pinion gears.
- Position one pinion gear between the side gears and rotate the gears until the pinion gear is directly opposite the opening in the case.
- Place the other pinion gear between the side gears, making sure the hole in both pinion gears line up.
3. Thrust washers.
- Rotate the pinion gears toward the opening just enough to permit the sliding in of the thrust washers.
4. Shaft and pin.
5. Ring gear onto the differential case.
6. Bolts. (left hand threads).
- Always install new bolts. Dover reuse the old bolts.
- Tighten ring gear bolts alternating in progressive steps to 120 Nm (88 ft. lbs.).





7. Side bearings, using J 22761 and J 8092.
