Assembly

1. Inspect case parts for signs of wear. If wear exists on all parts, replace the entire differential case assembly. If one gear shows signs of wear, replace both pinion mate and side gears as a set.

2. Apply grease Long-Life Lubricant, C1AZ-19590-BA (ESA-M1C75-B) or equivalent to side gear thrust washers, hub and thrust lace of side gears. Lubricate pinion mate gears and spherical washer with Long-Life Lubricant, C1AZ-19590-BA (ESA-M1C75B) or equivalent.

3. Hold side gears in place in case with one hand and install pinion mate gears and spherical washers with other hand. Rotate the side gears and pinion mate gears until the holes in the washers and pinion mate gears line up exactly with the holes in the case.

4. Insert the pinion mate shaft in the case. Make sure the lock pin hole in the shaft lines up with the lock pin holes in the case.

5. Insert lock pin. Peen some metal of the case over the pin to lock it in two places 180° apart. Note the location of the slot in the lock pin. Peen 90° from slot.
