(8) Thread Pilot Stud C-3288-B into rear cover bolt
hole below ring gear (Fig. 17).
(9) Attach a Dial Indicator C-3339 to pilot stud.
Position the dial indicator plunger on a flat surface
between the ring gear bolt heads (Fig. 17).
(10) Push and hold differential case to pinion gear
side of the housing and zero dial indicator (Fig. 18).
(11) Push and hold differential case to ring gear
side of the housing and record dial indicator reading
(Fig. 19).
(12) Add 0.152 mm (0.006 in.) to the zero end play
total. This new total represents the thickness of
shims to compress, or preload the new bearings when
the differential is installed.
(13) Rotate dial indicator out of the way on the
pilot stud.
(14) Remove differential case and dummy bearings
from the housing.
(15) Install the pinion gear in axle housing. Install
the pinion yoke and establish the correct pinion
rotating torque.
(16) Install differential case and Dummy Bearings
D-348 in the housing.
(17) Install a single dummy shim in the ring gear
side. Install bearing caps and tighten bolts snug.
(18) Seat ring gear side dummy bearing (Fig. 16).
(19) Position the dial indicator plunger on a flat
surface between the ring gear bolt heads. (Fig. 17).(20) Push and hold differential case toward pinion
gear and zero dial indicator (Fig. 20).
(21) Push and hold differential case to ring gear
side of the housing and record dial indicator reading
(Fig. 21). Add dummy shim thickness to this reading.
This will be the total shim thickness to achieve zero
backlash.
(22) Subtract 0.076 mm (0.003 in.) from the dial
indicator reading to compensate for backlash between
ring and pinion gears. This total is the thickness
shim required to achieve proper backlash.
(23) Subtract the backlash shim thickness from
the total preload shim thickness. The remainder is

housing.

stud.
(25) Remove differential case and dummy bearings
from the housing.
(26) Install

the shim thickness required on the pinion side of the
housing.
(24) Rotate dial indicator out of the way on pilot
stud.
(25) Remove differential case and dummy bearings
from the housing.
(26) Install side bearings and cups on differential
case.(27) Install spreader W-129-B utilizing some items
from Adapter Set 6987, on the housing and spread
axle opening enough to receive differential case.
CAUTION: Never spread over 0.38 mm (0.015 in.). If
housing is over-spread, it could be distorted or
damaged.
(28) Place the bearing preload shims in the hous-
ing, against the axle tubes.
(29) Install differential case into the housing.
(30) Remove spreader from the housing.
(31) Install differential bearing caps in their origi-
nal locations.
(32) Install bearing cap bolts and tighten to 77
N´m (57 ft. lbs.).
(33) Rotate the differential case several times to
seat the side bearings.
(34) Position the indicator plunger against a ring
gear tooth (Fig. 22).
(35) Push and hold ring gear upward while not
allowing the pinion gear to rotate.
(36) Zero dial indicator face to pointer.
(37) Push and hold ring gear downward while not
allowing the pinion gear to rotate. Dial indicator
reading should be between 0.12-0.20 mm (0.005-0.008
in.). If backlash is not within specifications transfer
the necessary amount of shim thickness from one
side of the axle housing to the other (Fig. 23).
(38) Verify differential case and ring gear runout
by measuring ring to pinion gear backlash at eight
locations around the ring gear. Readings should not
vary more than 0.05 mm (0.002 in.). If readings vary
more than specified, the ring gear or the differential
case is defective.
After the proper backlash is achieved, perform
Gear Contact Pattern Analysis procedure.

The ring gear and pinion teeth contact patterns
will show if the pinion depth is correct in the hous-
ing. It will also show if the ring gear backlash has
been adjusted correctly.
