²Bearing cups must not be distorted or cracked
²Machined surfaces should be smooth and without
any raised edges
²Raised metal on shoulders of cup bores should be

²Wear and damage to pinion gear mate shaft, pin-
ion gears, side gears and thrust washers. Replace as
a matched set only.
²Ring and pinion gear for worn and chipped teeth
²Ring gear for damaged bolt threads. Replaced as a
matched set only.
²Pinion yoke for cracks, worn splines, pitted areas,
and a rough/corroded seal contact surface. Repair or
replace as necessary.
²Preload shims for damage and distortion. Install
new shims if necessary.
DIFFERENTIAL ASSEMBLY
(1) Install the following components in the differ-
ential case.
²Differential side gears and thrust washers
²Pinion gears and thrust washers
²Pinion gear mate shaft (align holes in shaft and
case)
(2) Lubricate all differential components with hy-
poid gear lubricant.
PINION GEAR DEPTH INFORMATION
Ring and pinion gears are supplied as matched sets
only. The identifying numbers for the ring and pinion
gear are etched into the face of each gear (Fig. 22). Aplus (+) number, minus (-) number or zero (0) is etched
into the face of the pinion gear. This number is the
amount (in thousandths of an inch) the depth varies
from the standard depth setting of a pinion etched with
a (0). The standard setting from the centerline of the
ring gear to the back face of the pinion is 96.8 mm
(3.813 inches) for Model 35 axles (Fig. 23). The standard
depth provides the best teeth contact pattern.
THE BUTTON END ON THE PINION GEAR HEAD
IS NO LONGER A MACHINED-TO-SPECIFICATIONS
SURFACE. DO NOT USE THIS SURFACE FOR PIN-
ION DEPTH SET-UP OR CHECKING (Fig. 23).
Compensation for pinion depth variance is achieved
with select shims. In production the shims are placed
between the pinion gear and the inner pinion bearing
cone. For service the shims are placed under the in-
ner pinion bearing cup (Fig. 24).
If a new gear set is being installed, note the
depth variance etched into both the original
and replacement pinion gear. Add or subtract
the thickness of the original depth shims to
compensate for the difference in the depth vari-
ances. Refer to the Depth Variance charts.

(6) Attach a dial indicator to the housing. Position
the indicator plunger so that it contacts the ring gear
mating surface (Fig. 38).
(7) Pry the differential case to one side and zero
the dial indicator pointer.
(8) Pry the differential case to the opposite side
and record indicator reading. Reading is additional
shim thickness needed for zero end play. For exam-
ple, if reading was 0.008 inch (0.20 mm), an addi-
tional 0.004-inch (0.10-mm) thick shim will be
needed at each side zero end play.
(9) Install zero end-play shims on each side of
case.
The differential bearings must be preloaded
to compensate for heat and load during opera-
tion.
(10) Add an additional 0.004-inch (0.1-mm) to each
outboard shim/spacer for bearing preload.
RING GEAR INSTALLATION
(1) Invert the differential case and start two ring
gear bolts. This will provide case-to-ring gear bolt
hole alignment.
(2) Install new ring gear bolts and alternately
tighten to 95-122 Nzm (70-90 ft. lbs.) torque (Fig. 39).
DIFFERENTIAL INSTALLATION
(1) Position Spreader W-129-B with the tool dowel
pins seated in the locating holes (Fig. 40). Install the
holddown clamps and tighten the tool turnbuckle fin-
ger-tight.
(2) Install a pilot stud at the left side of the differ-
ential housing. Attach Dial Indicator to housing pilot
stud. Load the indicator plunger against the opposite
side of the housing (Fig. 40) and zero the indicator.CAUTION: Do not spread over 0.38 mm (0.015 in). If
the housing is over-separated, it could be distorted
or damaged.
(3) Separate the housing enough to install the case
in the housing. Measure the distance with the dial
indicator (Fig. 40).
(4) Remove the dial indicator.
(5) Install differential and outboard shim/spacer
(selected thickness) in housing.
(6) Install case in the housing. Tap the differential
case to ensure the bearings are fully seated (Fig. 41).
Remove the spreader.
(7) Install the bearing caps at their original loca-
tions (Fig. 42). Tighten the bearing cap bolts to 77
Nzm (57 ft. lbs.) torque.
