(c) Install the 2 side gears with the side gears thrust washers,
4 pinion gears, pinion gear thrust washers and pinion
shaft.

If the backlash is not within the specification, install a thrust
washer of different thickness.
(e) Using a pin punch and hammer, install the straight pin through the holes in the dif ferential case and pinion shaft.
(f) Using a chisel and hammer, stake the out side of the dif- ferential case pin hole.
2. w/ DIFFERENTIAL LOCK: INSPECT SLEEVE

(h) Using a drift punch and hammer, stake the lock plates.
HINT:
Stake one claw flush with the flat surface of the bolt. For the

7. CHECK RING GEAR RUNOUT
(a) Install the differential case onto the carrier and tighten the
adjusting nut just to where there is no play in the bearings.
(b) Using a dial indicator, check the ring gear runout. Maximum runout: 0.10 mm (0.0039 in.)
(c) Remove the differential case.
8. INSTALL OIL STORAGE RING
Using SST and a hammer, install a new oil storage ring. SST 09316−60011 (09316 −00011, 09316−00021)

NOTICE:
As there is no spacer, tighten a little at a time, being careful
not to overtighten.
(d) Using a torque wrench, measure the preload. Preload (at starting):
New bearing

HINT:
Measure the total preload after first turning the bearing clock-
wise and counterclockwise several times to mark the bearing
smooth.

(a) Place the bearing outer races on their respective bear- ings. Make sure the left and right outer races are not inter-
changed.

bearing cap bolts 2 or 3 turns and press down the bearing cap
by hand.
HINT:
If the bearing cap does not fit tightly on the carrier , the adjusting
nuts are not threaded properly.
