(2) Check and note the differential case runout.
NOTE:
-
Specification shown is the maximum differential case runout allowable.
-
If runout is within specification, install a new ring gear and pinion. If runout exceeds specification, the ring gear is true and the concern is
due to either a damaged differential case or differential bearings. Inspect the differential bearings. If the differential bearings are not
damaged, replace both the differential case and the differential bearings.
26. Remove the differential case from the axle housing and remove the differential bearings using 2-Jaw Puller and Step Plate.
27. Use Differential Side Bearing Replacer to install the new differential bearings on the differential case.
28. Install the differential case.
(1) Position the differential case assembly, including shims, in the axle housing.
(2) Install the differential bearing caps.
(3) Install the bolts.
