Figure 3
Install couplers (and left C-Clip if so equipped)
1. Install a coupler and washer assembly in the ring
gear end of the differential case (over the axle splines if in the
vehicle). See Figure 3. Note that the couplers in some models
may have flats for clearance. If an axle shaft thrust block is used,
place it in the center of the second coupler now if the installa-
tion is being done in the vehicle. If not, it may be installed later.
2. Place the second coupler and washer assembly into
the other end of the differential case (Figure 3).
3. For C-Clip differentials only: Place a C-Clip with the
ends pointing down into the ring gear side axle shaft end groove
and pull the tire out sharply to seat the clip (Figure 3). Then,
carefully push the other axle into the second coupler splines until
the end of the axle shaft is even with the coupler surface. Keep
the coupler seated in the case. Note: The ring gear is removed
for clarity. Ordinarily, the differential case is in the vehicle and
the ring gear is in place.
