24. Install the carrier differential bearing caps and capscrews. Make curtain there is no gap between the carrier cap
and the carrier surface.
25. Use an impact gun to securely fasten down the (6) carrier cap fasteners.
Note: Do not completely torque them down at this point.
26. Recheck the backlash. It should be within .001” to .002” from the original setting.
Note: If you have too much backlash, move the ring gear closer to the pinion. Count the number of notches you
back off the plain half threaded cup. Each notch equals about 0.003" (0.08 mm) of backlash.
IMPORTANT: In order to maintain the differential bearing preload, you will need to turn the flange half threaded
cup the same amount in the same direction. If you need more backlash, reverse the procedure.
27. Torque the carrier cap fasteners to 340 – 380 N.m (250 – 280 ft. lbs.)
28. Now with a round head punch, stake the outer edge of the retaining ring into the machined slots on each side of
the wheel differential bore.
