Special Tool(s)





Material

Disassembly
1. Remove the differential case.





2. Remove the bolts.





3. Insert a punch in the bolt holes and drive the ring gear off.





4. NOTE: The anti-lock speed sensor ring cannot be reused once removed.

Remove the anti-lock speed sensor ring.





5. Using the special tools, remove the differential bearings (4221).





6. Remove the differential pinion shaft lock bolt and the differential pinion shaft.
^ Discard the differential pinion shaft lock bolt.





7. Rotate and remove the differential pinion gears and differential pinion thrust washers.





8. Remove the differential side gears and the differential side gear thrust washers.

Assembly





1. Position the differential side gear thrust washers on the differential side gears.
^ Lubricate the differential side gear thrust washers and the differential side gear journals with rear axle lubricant.





2. Position the differential side gears.





3. Assemble the differential pinion thrust washers and the differential pinion gears.
^ Lubricate the pinion gears and the pinion thrust washers with rear axle lubricant.





4. Engage the differential pinion gears opposite the differential side gears.





5. Using the special tool, install the differential bearings.





6. Rotate the differential pinion gears to align the differential pinion shaft bore.





7. Insert the differential pinion shaft, and install a new differential pinion shaft lock bolt finger-tight.





8. CAUTION: Make sure that the notches on the case flange and the anti-lock speed sensor ring are aligned.

Press the new anti-lock speed sensor ring and the ring gear on the differential case.





9. Install the bolts and tighten.
^ Apply sealer to the ring gear bolts.
10. Install the differential case.
