- Determine the total shim pack size for the differential case assembly.
Refer to
Determining Total Shim Pack Size
.
- Add 0.25 mm (0.010 in) of shim thickness to the
right side shim pack-Measurement C, determined in step 1.
This additional amount will set the differential side bearing preload and
set the initial backlash.
Important: Do not remove the inboard shims from either side of the differential
case assembly. The same shims must be used as were used when determining
the total shim pack size.
- Install the differential side bearings using the J 23690
and the J 8092
.
- Install the J 24385-C
(2), the J 26900-13
, and the J 8001
(1) to the differential housing as shown.
- Preset the dial of the J 8001
to at least 0.05 mm (0.020 in).
- Rotate the dial of the J 8001
to zero.
Notice: Do not spread the axle housing more than 0.38 mm (0.015 inch).
Overspreading the housing may result in component damage.
- Spread the differential housing while watching the J 8001
.
- Remove the J 8001
and the J 26900-13
.
- Install the differential case assembly with the differential side
bearings and the bearing cups.
- Install the outboard shims.
Important: Install the bearing caps into the exact position from which each was
removed.
- Install the bearing caps.
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners
must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring
replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant
are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or
corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified.
These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage
the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when
installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
- Install the bearing cap bolts.
Tighten
Tighten the bearing cap bolts to 115 N·m (85 lb ft).
- Adjust the backlash. Refer to
Backlash Adjustment
.
