Differential Case

Differential Case









Disassembly
1. Remove the differential pinion shaft lock bolt.





2. Remove the differential pinion shaft.





3. Rotate and remove the differential pinion gears and differential pinion gear thrust washers.





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





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





2. Install the differential side gears.





3. Use axle lubricant to lubricate the differential pinion gear thrust washers and the differential pinion gears.





4. Install the differential pinion gears and differential pinion gear thrust washers opposite the differential side gears.





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





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





7. NOTE: If a new pinion shaft lock bolt is unavailable, coat the threads with threadlock and sealer prior to installation.

Install a new differential pinion shaft lock bolt.
^ Tighten to 30 Nm (22 lb-ft).
