Econoline E150 1/2 Ton V8-5.4L SOHC VIN L (1999)
Insert the special tool into the pinion shaft bore, and turn the differential case. This will cause the differential pinion gears to engage the
differential side gears and "walk" into the differential case. Rotate the differential case until the pinion mating shaft holes are lined up exactly with
the holes in the differential pinion gears.
13. Loosen the forcing screw, and remove the step plate and nut from the side gear bores. Install a new differential pinion shaft in the differential case.
^
Install the differential pinion shaft lock bolt finger-tight.
14. Install new differential bearings, if removed.
15. Check the torque required to rotate one differential side gear.
^
Mount the differential case and the Traction-Lok(R) Torque Tool Set in a vise.
^
The initial break-away torque, if original clutch plates are used, must be within specification. The rotating torque required to keep the
differential side gear turning with new clutch plates can vary.
16. CAUTION: Make sure that the notches on the case flange and the anti-lock speed sensor ring are aligned.
