WARNING

Adhesives, solvents, and sealing

compounds can burn easily, can give

off harmful vapors, and are harmful

to skin and clothing. To avoid injury

or death, keep away from open fire

and use in a well-ventilated area. If

adhesive, solvent, or sealing

compound gets on skin or clothing,

wash immediately with soap and

water.

(c)

Apply thin bead of sealing

TR00268

compound to bearing bores (a) of

differential carrier (3) legs and

bearing caps (14). Do not apply sealing compound to adjusting ring (16) threads.

(d)

Install two bearing cups (19) over

bearing cones (20 and 21) on case

halves (25 and 26).

(e)

Use a sling and hoist to lift

differential and ring gear parts (19

through 26) as an assembly and

install into differential carrier (3).

Bearing cups must be flat against

bores between differential carrier

legs.

Install both bearing adjusting

rings (16) into position between

differential carrier (3) legs. Turn

each adjusting ring hand tight

against bearing cup (19).

(g)

Install bearing caps (14) over the

Use a plastic or leather mallet to fit each bearing cap (14) tightly against the bearing

cups (19), adjusting rings (16), and differential carrier (3) legs. If bearing caps do not fit

necessary, repeat Steps (f) and (g).
