Differential Case and Ring Gear ConventionalSpecial Tools:
Special Tool(s)
Disassembly
1. Remove the differential assembly from the differential housing.
2. Remove the bolts.
3. CAUTION: Do not damage the threads in the bolt holes.
CAUTION: If removing the anti-lock speed sensor ring, discard it, and install a new anti-lock speed sensor ring during assembly.
Insert a punch in the bolt holes, and drive off the differential ring gear and, if necessary, the anti-lock speed sensor ring.
4. Using the special tools, remove the differential bearings, if necessary.
5. Remove the bolt.
6. Remove the differential pinion shaft.
7. Rotate and remove the differential pinion gears and differential pinion thrust washers.
8. Remove the differential side gears and differential side gear thrust washers.
Assembly
1. Lubricate the differential side gear thrust washers and the differential side gear journals.
^ Use SAE 75W-140 High Performance Rear Axle Lubricant F1TZ-19580-B or equivalent meeting Ford specification WSL-M2C192-A.
2. Position the differential side gear thrust washers on the differential side gears.
3. Position the differential side gear and thrust washer assemblies in the differential case.
4. Lubricate and assemble the differential pinion thrust washers and differential pinion gears.
^ Use SAE 75W-140 High Performance Rear Axle Lubricant F1TZ-19580-B or equivalent meeting Ford specification WSL-M2C192-A.
5. Engage the differential pinion gears opposite the differential side gears.
6. Rotate the differential pinion gears to align with the differential pinion shaft bore.
7. Insert the differential pinion shaft.
^ Align the bolt hole in the differential pinion shaft with the bolt hole in the differential case.
8. NOTE: If a new bolt is unavailable, coat the threads with Threadlock and Sealer EOAZ-19554-AA or equivalent meeting Ford specification WSK-M2G351-A5 prior to installation.
Install a new bolt finger-tight.
9. Using the special tool, install the new differential bearings, if removed.
10. CAUTION: Installing a new anti-lock speed sensor ring, align the notch on the case flange and the tab on the anti-lock speed sensor ring.
Position the differential ring gear, the anti-lock speed sensor ring, and the differential case. Align the bolt holes by starting two bolts through the holes in the differential case and the differential ring gear. Press the new anti-lock speed sensor ring, if removed, and the differential ring gear on the differential case.
11. Install the bolts.
^ Apply Stud and Beading Mount EOAZ-195S4-BA or equivalent meeting Ford specification WSK-M2G349-A1 to the bolt threads.
12. Install the differential assembly.
