2. Position the special tool.
11. Note: If runout is less than the specification, install a new ring gear and pinion. If runout exceeds the 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, install a new differential case and differential bearings.
Measure the differential case runout without the ring gear.
