Select 2 thrust blocks with the combined thickness of zero to .006 inch less than side gear spread measurement, measuring thrust blocks as shown,
Fig. 8. Original thrust blocks can be used if they are undamaged and will provide the specified zero to .006 inch clearance. In addition,
left side gear can be reshimmed to provide proper thrust block clearance as long as specified .002-.006 inch backlash is maintained
between side gear and differential pinions.
Differential Case Assembly
Coat components with specified axle lubricant during assembly. If components are reused, they should be installed in original position.
