Check
- 1.
Remove the differential. Refer to: Differential Carrier .
- 3.
Using the brass punch and a soft face hammer, remove the ring gear. Use the General Equipment: Punch Use the General Equipment: Copper Hammer
- 4.
Install the Differential carrier, differential carrier bearing cups and differential bearing preload shims.
- 5.
Install the differential bearing caps and bolts. Align the differential bearing caps in there original location.Torque: 94 lb.ft (128 Nm)
- 7.
Using the dial indicator, rotate the differential carrier and measure the differential carrier runout.- If the runout does not exceed the specification, install a new ring gear and pinion. Use the General Equipment: Dial Indicator
- If runout exceeds the specification, the ring gear is true and the condition is due to differential carrier/differential bearing damage.
- Inspect the differential bearings and the differential carrier. Always install new differential bearings when installing a new differential carrier, or if a bearing condition is questionable.
- 9.
Remove the differential carrier, differential bearing cups, and differential bearing preload shims.
- 10.NOTE: If necessary.
Using the special tool and a 3 Jaw Puller, remove and discard the differential bearings. Use Special Service Tool: 205-D061 (D83T-4205-C2) Step Plate. Use the General Equipment: Three Leg Puller
- 11.
Using the special tools, install the new differential bearings. Use Special Service Tool: 205-153 (T80T-4000-W) Handle., 205-1016 Installer, Differential Bearing.
- 12.
Install the Differential carrier, differential carrier bearing cups and differential bearing preload shims.
- 13.
Install the differential bearing caps and bolts. Align the differential bearing caps in there original location.
- 15.NOTE: If the runout is still excessive, install a new differential case.
Using the dial indicator, rotate the differential carrier and measure the differential carrier runout. Use the General Equipment: Dial Indicator
- 17.
Remove the differential carrier, differential bearing cups, and differential bearing preload shims.
- 18.NOTE: Tighten the ring gear bolts in a cross pattern.
Install the ring gear and the new ring gear bolts.
