9. While holding the differential pinion gears in place, insert the Driver Handle into the hole of the differential pinion shaft in the differential case.
Pull on the handle, rotating the differential case and allowing the differential pinion gears to rotate and enter into the differential case.
10. Adjust the forcing screw by very slightly loosening or tightening it until the required load is applied to allow the differential side gears and
differential pinion gears to rotate.
11. Rotate the differential case until the holes of both differential pinion gears are aligned with those of the differential case.
12. Apply torque to the forcing screw for clearance to assemble the differential pinion thrust washers.
CAUTION: Do not overtighten the forcing screw. Overtightening the forcing screw can damage the rear axle disc and plate kit.
13. Assemble the differential pinion thrust washers into the differential case.
-
Use a very small screwdriver to push the washers into place.
NOTE: During assembly, make sure the holes of the differential pinion thrust washers and differential pinion gears are lined up exactly with
those of the differential case.
14. Remove the forcing screw, forcing nut, handle and step plate.
