NOTE :
It is very important to make sure the punch marks 
made on the differential housing while removing the 
differential are matched to the punch marks on the 
bearing cap. The bearing cap must be replaced 
exactly as it was removed. (Refer to section 2.4) 
 
c Measure to the bearing cap from exactly the same position on the 
differential housing that you took the previous measurements from. 
(Fig.14.) 
c Mark the tube position where the clearance is to be made for the
seal housing tube with a center punch.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Figure 14.
c Remove the bearing cap from the differential housing. 
c Measure the distance from the center punch mark made on the 
bearing cap to the closest edge of the bearing cap.
c If the center punch mark is greater than 5mm [3/16’’] from the
closest edge of the bearing cap, it is recommended that a small 
hole be drilled through the bearing cap (Section 4.7.2). If less than 
5mm [3/16’’] from the edge it is recommended that a notch is filed 
into the side of the bearing cap to avoid break-through while drilling 
(Section 4.7.3).
