Important: The ring gear bolts have left-hand threads.
Notice: Refer to Ring Gear Removal Notice in the Preface section.
4.1. | Remove the pinion shaft lock bolt. |
4.2. | Remove the pinion shaft. |
4.3. | Roll the differential pinion gears out of the case with the pinion gear thrust washers. |
4.4. | Remove the differential side gears and the side gear thrust washers. |
Mark the pinion gears top and bottom and the differential side gears left and right.
If the same differential side gears and the thrust washers are being used, install the gears and the thrust washers to their original locations.
4.1. | Position one pinion gear between the differential side gears. |
4.2. | Position the second pinion gear between the differential side gears directly opposite the of the first gear. |
4.3. | Rotate the differential side gears until the pinion gears is directly opposite the opening in the differential case. |
4.4. | Install the thrust washers. |
Rotate the pinion gears toward the differential opening in order to permit the sliding in of the thrust washers.
Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in the Preface section.
Tighten
Tighten the new pinion shaft lock bolt to 36 N·m (27 lb ft).
Important: The mating surface of the ring gear and the differential case must be clean and free of burrs before installing the ring gear.
Important: The ring gear bolts have left - hand threads.
Hand start each bolt to ensure that the ring gear is properly installed to the differential case.
Tighten
Tighten the ring gear bolts in sequence to 120 N·m (89 lb ft).

1.1. | Place a block of wood on each side of the differential case before installing the differential case into the vise. |
Install the differential assembly into a vise.
1.2. | Install the J 8107-3 and the J 22888-20A onto the differential side bearing. |
1.3. | Remove the differential side bearings using the J 22888-20A . |
Notice: Refer to Ring Gear Removal Notice in the Preface section.
Drive the ring gear off with a brass drift if necessary.
Important: If the differential pinion gears, the differential side and the thrust washers are to be reused, mark the components so they can be re-installed in their original location in the differential case.
• | The thrust washers |
• | The differential pinion gears |
• | The differential pinion spider |
If the original differential side gears are being used, install the gears in the original location.
If the original differential pinion gears, the thrust washers and the differential spider are being used, install the components in the original locations.
Align the arrow in the differential case as shown.
Important: The mating surface of the ring gear and the differential case must be clean and free of burrs before installing the ring gear.
Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in the Preface section.
Hand start each bolt to ensure that the ring gear is properly installed to the differential case.
Tighten
Tighten the ring gear bolts in sequence to 165 N·m (122 lb ft).
8.1. | In order to protect the differential case, install the J 8107-3 in the case on the side opposite the bearing installation. |
