Special Tool(s)





Material

Disassembly
1. Remove the differential case.





2. Remove the 10 ring gear bolts.





3. CAUTION: Care should be taken not to damage the bolt hole threads.

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





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

Remove the speed sensor ring if required.





5. Using the special tools, remove the differential bearing.





6. Remove and discard the differential pinion shaft lock bolt.





7. Remove the differential pinion shaft.





8. Rotate and remove the differential pinion gear and differential pinion thrust washer.





9. Remove the differential side gear and the differential side gear thrust washer.

Assembly





1. Use rear axle lubricant to lubricate the differential side gear thrust washer and the differential side gear journals.
^ Position the differential side gear thrust washer on the differential side gear.





2. Position the differential side gear.





3. Use rear axle lubricant to lubricate the differential pinion gear thrust washer and the differential pinion gear.





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





5. Rotate the differential side gears to align the pinion gears with the differential pinion shaft bore.





6. Insert the differential pinion shaft.
^ Align the hole in the differential pinion shaft with the hole in the differential case.





7. Install a new differential pinion shaft lock bolt and tighten finger-tight.





8. Using the special tool, install the new differential bearings on the differential case.
9. Press the new anti-lock speed sensor ring and the ring gear on the differential case.





10. Install the ring gear bolts.
^ Apply sealer to the ring gear bolts.
11. Install the differential case.
