OVERHAUL

25. Remove retaining ring, then remove the planet 

gears and cross shafts.

26. Fit a 1.05 mm (0.04 in) thrust washer to sun 

gear from rear half of carrier. Position gear in 
rear half of carrier.

27. Fit planet gears, cross shafts and dished thrust 

washers to rear half of carrier. Ensure that 
cross shafts are fitted correctly. Do not fit 
the sun gear into the rear half carrier at this 
stage.

28. Fit retaining ring.
29. Ensuring that assembly marks are aligned, fit 

both halves of carrier together. 

30. Fit the differential carrier bolts and, working in a 

diagonal sequence, tighten the bolts to 60 Nm, 
(44 lbf.ft).

31. Invert the assembly in the vice, insert the rear 

output shaft into the rear half of the carrier and 
check that the gears rotate freely.

32. Fit output flange on to the splines of the output 

shaft, but do not fit flange nut at this stage.

33. Fit transmission brake drum to output flange 

and secure the drum using 2 nuts.

34. Carry out the load to turn check, using the same 

method as for the front half carrier. Record the 
shim thickness when the load to turn is correct.

35. Fit the sun gear and selected thickness shim to 

the front half carrier.

36. Ensuring that assembly marks are aligned, fit 

both halves of carrier together. 

37. Fit the differential carrier bolts and, working in a 

diagonal sequence, tighten the bolts to 60 Nm, 
(44 lbf.ft).

38. With differential assembled, fit rear output shaft 

and brake drum, then check overall load to turn. 
This should be approximately the same as the 
combined load to turn figure of both front and 
rear half carriers.
