Assembling the Differential Carrier

Figure 9.

Clean all parts of the differential assembly. It is very important to

make sure the bearings, seal housing internal walls and the shims
surfaces are free from any contaminants (e.g. water, dirt, metal
fillings etc.)

Place the bearing cup over the bearing cone, then ARB master

shim over the cup (Figure 9.).

Generously lubricate the O-rings with oil prior to assembly, then

insert them into the grooves of the seal housing.

With a slight twisting motion, carefully slide the seal housing all the

way onto the bearing journal.

NOTE : The shim pack cannot be installed at this time as the

required thickness (shown as ‘E’ in Figure 9.) has yet
to be determined.
