Differential Bearing Race Installation

If only the bearing is being replaced the bearing preload does not require selecting a new select shim. If the transmission housing, bellhousing or differential is replaced, the proper thickness select shim will have to be determined. Refer to BEARING TURNING TORQUE MEASUREMENT .

1. Wipe the bearing bores clean with a clean lint free cloth.
2. Inspect the bearing bores for damage or cracks in the casting.
