5. Install the roll pin, and stake the hole it to prevent the roll pin from coming out of the gear case.
6. Install the thrust washers and side gears into the gear case at the same time, then rotate them around the pinion gears and align them with the
driveshaft holes.
NOTICE: Be certain that both side gears are centered in their respective driveshaft holes. If not, remove both side gears and re-install them again.
7. Measure the backlash of the side gears and pinion gears as follows:
A. Install the left and right driveshafts in the differential assembly.
B. Support the driveshafts on V-blocks.
C. Measure the backlash of both pinion gears.
Standard Backlash: 0.001-0.004 inch (0.025-0.1 mm)
Maximum: 0.020 inch (0.5 mm)
8. If the backlash is not within specification, replace the differential assembly.
NOTE: Measure the backlash after assembly.
