DIFFERENTIAL - ASSEMBLY

NOTE: The differential is serviced as an assembly. Differential service is limited to bearing cups and cones. Any other differential component failure must be remedied by differential assembly and transfer shaft replacement.






1. Install side gear thrust washer to differential case (Fig. 193).






2. Install side gear to differential case (Fig. 194).






3. Install both pinion gears and washers to case, while orientating washer tabs to notch in case (Fig. 195).






4. Install pinion shaft (Fig. 196).






5. Install side gear to case (Fig. 197).






6. Install side gear thrust washer to case (Fig. 198).






7. Install differential support into position, while aligning through-holes (Fig. 199).






8. Install differential ring gear to case (Fig. 200).





9. Install ring gear-to-case bolts, with pinion shaft retainers (Fig. 201), and torque bolts to 95 Nm (70 ft. lbs.).





10. Using Miller Special Tool L-4410, and C-4171, install differential bearing to differential (extension housing side) (Fig. 202).
11. Using Miller Special Tool 5052 and C-4171, install differential bearing to differential (bearing retainer side).





12. Using Miller Special Tool 6061 and C-4171, install differential bearing race to bearing retainer (Fig. 203).
13. Using Miller Special Tool L-4520 and C-4171, install differential bearing to extension housing.

NOTE: Use leopard Silicone Rubber Adhesive Sealant, or equivalent, on retainer and extension housing/adapter plate to seal to case.








14. Install differential assembly into transaxle case. Install differential bearing retainer (Fig. 204) and torque retainer-to-case bolts (Fig. 205) to 28 Nm (21 ft. lbs.).
15. Apply a bead of Mopar Silicone Rubber Adhesive Sealant to extension housing/adapter plate and install into position. Install and torque bolts to 28 Nm (21 ft. lbs.).
16. Measure and adjust differential bearing preload.





17. Apply a bead of Mopar Silicone Rubber Adhesive Sealant to differential cover and install to case (Fig. 206).





18. Install and torque cover-to-case bolts to 19 Nm (165 inch lbs.) (Fig. 207).
