Step 15. Locate the smallest of the Allen wrenches (59) and place it
through the slot in the outdrive/diff half (66) containing the diff screw
(67). Slide the wrench all the way against the screw (67). By handling
the outdrive/diff half (66) with the wrench
inserted, the diff screw (67) will be held in place while finishing as-
sembly of the differential.
Step 16. Insert a 5mm x 8mm bearing (63) into the female outdrive/diff
half (66). Make sure that the bearing (63) is pushed all the way into
the outdrive (66).
Step 17. Apply a small amount of diff grease (clear) (62) all the way
around the face of the outside ridge of the outdrive/diff half (66).
Attach a diff washer (61) to the outdrive (66) by centering the hole in
the washer (61) over the raised center of the outdrive (66).
*NOTE: Only a small amount of grease is needed, but be sure to
cover the entire face of the ridge on the outdrive.
Step 18. Apply a fairly heavy coat of clear diff grease (62) to the
exposed side of the diff washer (61).
Step 19. While holding the outdrive/diff half (66) with the Allen wrench
inserted, carefully place the two outdrive/diff halves (60)(66) together.
Step 20. Make sure that the slot in the diff screw (67) is lined up with
the slot in the outdrive/diff half (66) and that the Allen wrench is
inserted in the slot in the diff screw (67).
Step 21. Hold the diff so that the outdrive/diff half (60) with the diff
nut carrier (57) is pointing up. Slowly turn the top diff half clockwise
to thread the diff screw (67) into the 4-40 mini locknut (7) in the diff
nut carrier (57). Thread the two halves together until the screw just
starts to snug up.
*NOTE: If the screw will not thread into the nut, make sure that
the diff nut carrier is pushed all the way into the outdrive/diff half.
Tip: When tightening the diff, tighten the screw a little and then
“work” the diff a little. Then tighten the diff a little more and
“work” the diff again. Continue this until the diff is tight. This
will ensure proper seating of all the parts in the diff
assembly.
Step 22. Tighten the diff until the gear (64) cannot be turned while
both of the outdrives (60)(66) are being held. Final diff
adjustment should be made after completion of the car.
