F 550 2WD Super Duty V10-6.8L VIN S (2000)
8. Using a small drift, drive out the differential pinion shaft lock pin.
9. Using a drift, remove the differential pinion shaft.
10. To remove the differential side gears and the differential pinion gears, rotate the differential side gears. The differential pinion gears will turn to
the opening in the differential case.
11. Remove the differential pinion gears and the differential pinion thrust washers behind the differential pinion gears.
12. Lift out the differential side gears and the differential side gear thrust washers.
Assembly
Conventional differential
1. Note:
^
For Truetrac(R) and Trac-Lok(R) differential assemblies proceed to All differentials in this procedure.
^
Use a vise with brass jaws or wood blocks.
Place the differential case in a vise.
2. Lubricate the new differential side gear thrust washers, the thrust face of the new differential side gears, the new differential pinion thrust washers,
and the new differential pinion gears.
^
Use Premium Long-Life Grease XG-1-C or equivalent meeting Ford specification ESA-M1C75-B.
3. Note: The best way to assemble the differential side gears and the differential pinion gears is to lubricate all parts with the specified rear axle
lubricant.
