Reassembly & Adjustments

  1. Lubricate all parts with axle lubricant. Place side gears and thrust washers into case. Place pinion gears and thrust washers opposite each other in case openings, and in mesh with side gears.
  2. Install ring gear with NEW mounting bolts. If bolts are covered with Green coating over 1/2" of threaded area, install and tighten bolts. If new bolts DO NOT  have Green coating, apply small amount of Loctite to bolt threads then tighten bolts.
  3. If bearing races have been replaced, NEW bearing and roller assemblies should be installed. Races must be seated in bores so a .0015" (.038 mm) feeler gauge will not fit between race and bottom of bore.
