Drive Pinion
1) Remove pinion flange retaining nut. Scribe alignment marks
on drive pinion and pinion flange for reassembly. Using soft-faced
hammer, drive out pinion. Remove front adjusting shim and spacer from
pinion.
2) Using bearing puller, remove rear bearing from pinion.
Remove rear adjusting shim from pinion. Remove oil seal and bearing
races from differential carrier.
Inspection
1) Inspect all gears for cracked or flaking teeth. Inspect
pinion shaft for wear. Inspect pinion flange and drive pinion for
damaged splines.
2) Inspect bearings and races for roughness or flaking.
Replace worn components. On limited slip axles, inspect clutch
components and contact areas for wear or overheating. Inspect friction
plates, friction discs, spring plates and pressure rings for signs of
seizure, excessive heat, severe friction or nicks.
NOTE: Outer areas of friction surfaces will wear heavier due to
clutch plate and preload spring.
3) Using dial indicator, check friction plate and friction
disc for warpage. Replace components if beyond specification. See
FRICTION PLATE & DISC SPECIFICATIONS table.
4) Measure friction plates and disc thickness at projection
areas not within wear area. Measure plate and disc thickness in
friction surface. Difference between thickness of projections and
friction surface indicates amount of wear. Replace components if not

(1) - Determine cause and correct prior to repair or
replacement of part.
( 2) - Determine source of contamination, such as engine
coolant, fuel, metal particles, or water. Require
repair or replacement.
( 3) - Inoperative includes intermittent operation or out of
OEM specification. Some components may be serviceable;
check for accepted cleaning procedure.
