Wheel Differential Assembly
23. The interface of the ring gear to differential case is a
press fit. Put the assembly in a press with the ring
gear facing upward. Make certain that the ring gear
is flush and square to the differential case before
pressing. Press until ring gear bottoms out on the
case.
DO NOT use the capscrews to draw the ring gear into place.
Only use a press.
24. Press new ring gear bearing cone.
When pressing differential case bearing cones, note that
the bearing is beyond flush with the top of the case. The
cone must be fully seated. To prevent bearing damage, use
suitable sleeve that only contacts the inner race of the
cone. A used bearing race would be a suitable tool. This
tool should have a slit cut if the ID is the same as the
bearing boss OD.
25. Tighten and torque ring gear capscrews in an alter-
nating pattern. 435-465 lbs. ft. (589-630 N•m).
26. Install differential case assembly into carrier. Be
careful not to damage the differential bearings lower-
ing the assembly.
27. Lubricate the differential bearings and install bearing
cups and differential bearing adjusters.
