Install the other differential pinion shaft and differential pinion gears on the flange half of the differential case. Align the markings.
5. Assemble the differential case.
1. Place the button half of the differential case over the assembly. Align differential case marks.
2. Install the differential case bolts and turn each one on a few threads.
NOTE: The bolts must be clean and dry.
3. With the axle shafts in position, tighten the differential case bolts evenly and alternately to specification. If bolt heads have "180" or seven
radial lines (Grade 9) stamped on them, tighten the differential case bolts to the appropriate specification.
6. If the assembly has been properly assembled, each differential pinion shaft should be tight on its ramp. If there is clearance between the differential
pinion shaft and the ramp, it must be not more than 0.254 mm (0.010 inch) and equal at all four ends of the differential pinion shafts.
