Differential Case
- Place differential case into vise. Use multipurpose grease to lubricate side gears, pinion gears and all thrust washers. Install components into differential case. Rotate side gears until holes in pinion gears and washers line up with holes in case.
- Install differential pinion shaft. Install lock pin. Using a punch and hammer, peen metal of differential case over lock pin at 2 locations, 90 degrees to the left and right of lock pin slot.
- Install ring gear and tighten new bolts evenly to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS
table. Install master differential bearings on differential case. See MASTER DIFFERENTIAL BEARINGS

Application Bearing Number Dana 35 T86T-4222-AH Dana 44 D81T-4222-B Dana 50 D81T-4222-C - Install case (without shims) into carrier housing. Install side bearing caps. Mount dial indicator with indicator tip at 90 degrees to flat surface on head of ring gear bolt or flat machined surface of ring gear. Measure and record amount of end play of differential case by moving case back and forth with screwdriver. See Fig 1 .
- This measurement is total differential case end play and will be used later to determine proper shim pack dimension. Remove case from housing. Leave master bearings on case at this time.
