11. Assemble the new differential bearing using
the proper tooling, and use a .0015" feeler
gauge to check between the bearing and case
to be sure that the bearing is properly seated
(Figure 84).
13. Fit the bearing spacers in the carrier bores
using a light coating of grease (Figure 87).
NOTE: If the feeler gauge can be inserted, the
bearing is not properly seated.
NOTE: After completing these steps, the differ-
ential case assembly is ready to place in the
carrier. Note that the tabs on the plenum are
offset and must be installed in the carrier with
the oil pick-up pointing to the bottom or sump
of the carrier (Figure 85).
12. Attach the spreader to the carrier and spread
the carrier a maximum of .015", or .038 mm.
(Figure 86).
14. Install the differential case assembly with the
oil pick-up in the proper position (Figure 88).
Be extremely careful not to
bend the ears on the plenum, or the oil will not
flow properly to the pump and the bearing caps
cannot be installed correctly.
