Differential Case and Ring Gear Conventional

Special Tools:

Disassembly
1. Remove the differential case.





2. Remove the differential ring gear bolts.





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





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

Remove the anti-lock speed sensor ring.





5. If required, remove the differential bearings with the special tools.





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





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.
^ Use SAE 75W-140 High Performance Rear Axle Lubricant F1TZ-19580-B or equivalent meeting Ford specification WSL-M2C192-A to lubricate the differential side gear thrust washers and the differential side gear journals.





2. Position the differential side gears.





3. Assemble the differential pinion thrust washers and the differential pinion gears.
^ Lubricate with SAE 75W-140 High Performance Rear Axle Lubricant F1TZ-19580-B or equivalent meeting Ford specification WSL-M2C192-A.





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





5. Install the differential bearings, using the special tool.





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: If equipped, 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 differential ring gear on the differential case.





9. Install the differential ring gear bolts and tighten.
^ Apply Stud and Bearing Mount EOAZ-19554-BA or equivalent meeting Ford specification WSK-M2C349-A1 to the differential ring gear bolts.
10. Install new differential bearings, if removed.
11. Install the differential case.
