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.
