26. Remove the differential case with the special tool from the differential housing.
^
Remove the special tool from the differential case.
27. Place the required thickness of differential bearing shims on the ring gear side of the differential case. Refer to the measurement recorded, as the
shim thickness required for the ring gear side of the differential case. Differential bearing shims are available in the thickness shown in the
following chart.
^
For example, a reading of 1.14 mm (0.045 inch), requires that 1.14 mm (0.045 inch) shims be placed on the ring gear side of the differential
case.
Available Differential Bearing Shims (Model 50 and Model 60 Axles)
28. Using the special tool(s), install the differential bearing.
^
For model 50 axles, use special tools 205-DO55 and 205-142 to install the differential bearing.
^
For model 60 axles, use special tool 205-DO44 to install the differential bearing.
29. Determine the total thickness of differential bearing shims to install under the differential bearing on the drive pinion side of the differential case.
^
Subtract the measurement recorded, as the shim thickness required for the ring gear side of the differential case, from the total case end play
measurement taken at the beginning of the assembly procedure. Then, add 0.38 mm (0.015 inch) to the total. This is the total amount of
differential bearing shims to install under the differential bearing on the drive pinion side of the differential case.
