Tools Required

1. Lubricate all parts with an axle lubricant.
2. Install new thrust washers to the side gears.

Important: Install the side gears to the same side that the side gears were on when removed.

3. Install the side gears to the differential case.
4. Install the pinion gears to the differential without the thrust washers.

4.1.	Install the pinion gears to the side gears so that the holes in the pinion gears are 180 degrees apart.

4.2.	Rotate the pinion gears into place. Verify that the pinion gears line up with the pinion shaft holes.

5. Rotate the pinion gears toward the differential opening in order to allow enough space for the pinion thrust washers to slide in.
6. Install the pinion shaft.
7. Align the roll pin holes in the differential case and the pinion shaft.



8. Install the roll pin.

8.1.	Peen metal from the case over the lock pin in two places that are 180 degrees apart.

8.2.	Make sure the mating surfaces of the differential case and the ring gear are clean and free of burrs.

9. Align the holes in the differential case and the holes in the ring gear. Press the ring gear onto the case.

Important: Tighten the ring gear bolt in stages in order to gradually pull the ring gear onto the differential case.

10. Install new ring gear bolts.

Tighten
Tighten the ring gear bolts in sequence to 298 N·m (220 lb ft).

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.




11. Install the J 39705 to the differential.
