Differential Assembly: Reassembly

  1. To reassemble differential assembly, reverse disassembly procedure. Lubricate all thrust washers and thrust surfaces on gears and in case with automatic transmission fluid.
  2. If removed, press ring gear onto differential case and attach to case with service replacement nuts and bolts. Install bolts with heads on parking pawl gear side of ring gear. Tighten bolts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS  .
  3. Install speedometer drive gear and shim. Ensure bevel on inside diameter of speedometer drive gear is facing differential case.
NOTE: Differential side gears must be aligned in case. Use Shipping Plugs (T81P-1177-B) to maintain alignment. Failure to maintain alignment will make it impossible to install axle drive shafts through side gears.
