Illustration 1 g00517781 - Heat bearing cone (46) to a maximum of
135 °C (275 °F) . Install bearing cone (46) on pinion shaft (38).Note: Reset bearing cone (46) with a suitable driver after the mating parts have reached a uniform temperature.
Note: Bearing cone (46) may be pressed on pinion shaft (38). The bearing cone does not need to be heated.
Note: Bevel gear and pinions are sold in matched sets. You should use only matched sets when you are replacing the bevel gear and pinions.
Show/hide tableIllustration 2 g00520173 - Shims are located under bearing cup (45). The thickness of the shim pack will not need to be changed if you are not changing the bevel gear and pinion. The shims are needed in order to properly set up the bevel gear and pinion . The initial thickness of the shim pack must be calculated. First, if you are installing a new bevel gear set into the existing carrier assembly, obtain the "HD" number from the end of the old pinion shaft. Obtain the "HD" number from the end of the new pinion shaft. Subtract the new "HD" from the old "HD". If the answer is negative, you must remove an equivalent thickness of shims from the existing shim pack. If the answer is positive, you must add an equivalent thickness of shims to the existing shim pack. If the answer is zero, you should reuse the existing shim pack.
- If you are installing an old bevel gear set into a new carrier assembly, obtain the "DC" number from the new carrier assembly. The number (DC) is stamped under the bearing cap. Obtain the "DC" from the old carrier assembly. Subtract the new "DC" number from the old "DC" number. If the answer is negative, remove an equivalent thickness of shims. If the answer is positive, add an equivalent thickness of shims.
- If you are replacing both the carrier assembly and the bevel gear set, use an initial shim pack of
1.5 mm (.06 inch) . - Install the shim pack. Press the bearing cup (45) into the carrier. Check the seating of the cup against the shim pack. Lubricate the bearing cup with specified lubricant.
Note: You may cool bearing cup (45). Seat the bearing cup with a suitable driver once the mating parts have reached a uniform temperature.

Rotate the differential assembly by 90 degrees so that the pinion is in a HORIZONTAL position. Install Tooling (B). Measure the torque that is required to rotate the pinion shaft. Record the measured torque.
- Advance the adjusting nut that is adjacent to the bevel gear. Oscillate the bevel gear. Find a zero backlash position. Then back off the adjusting nut to the nearest lock position. Only back off one lug on the adjusting nut. Notice that there are two lock positions that are available on each adjusting nut (49).
- Advance the adjusting nut opposite the bevel gear. Monitor the torque that is required in order to rotate the pinion shaft. Look for a torque increase that is over the torque that is measured in Step 18. Tighten the adjusting nut which is opposite the bevel gear. Tighten the adjusting nut until the lock can be installed. Do not install lock (48) until you have finished all adjustments.
Note: Rotation of the bevel gear is critical in order to get the proper seating of all components.
Show/hide tableIllustration 27 g00521349 - Install Tooling (H). Measure the backlash of bevel gear (15). The backlash should be
0.30 ± 0.10 mm (.012 ± .004 inch) . Assume that the measurement does not meet the specification. Retract one nut. Advance the other nut. Maintain bearing preload. - Remeasure the rolling torque at the pinion shaft in order to verify the correct preload after setting the backlash. The rolling torque should be
1.2 N·m (10.6 lb in) to2.5 N·m (22.0 lb in) . This reading is above the reading that is found in Step 18.Show/hide tableIllustration 28 g00521367 Illustration A Show/hide tableIllustration 29 g00521369 Illustration B Show/hide tableIllustration 30 g00521370 Illustration C - The tooth contact between the bevel pinion and gear must be checked. Coat some of the bevel gear teeth with a rouge compound. Turn the bevel pinion shaft in both directions. The correct area of tooth contact starts near the inside of the teeth of the bevel gear. See Illustration (A). If the tooth contact looks like Illustration (B), some shims will need to be added. Recheck the tooth contact. If the tooth contact looks like Illustration (C), some shims will need to be removed. Recheck the tooth contact. If the shim pack has been changed, the backlash will need to be rechecked. See Step 38.
