Thrust Block Clearance Adjustment

Install the left side gear thrust washer into the differential case.
Install the left side cam unit assembly into the differential case. Refer to LOCKING DIFFERENTIAL CAM UNIT ASSEMBLY .
Install the right side thrust washer into the differential case.
Assemble the right side clutch plates.
Alternate the clutch plates.
Assemble the guide clips to the plates.
Use grease in order to hold the clips in place on the plates.
Install the right side clutch plates into the differential case.
Install the right side gear into the differential case.
Install the pinion shaft.
Install the pinion shaft bolt.
Tighten the pinion shaft bolt finger tight.
Insert a large tapered tool, such as a screwdriver, firmly between the side gears and the pinion shaft.
Important: Do not measure the distance between the side gear teeth.
Measure the distance between the side gear faces using a 1-2 telescoping gage.
Remove the telescoping gage.
Measure the telescoping gage with a micrometer.
Record the measurement.
Measure the original thrust block with a micrometer.
Record the measurement.
Subtract the thrust block measurement from the telescoping gage measurement.
Specification
1. The difference between the thrust block measurement and the telescoping gage measurement should be 0.000-0.1524 mm (0.000-0.006 in).
If the difference between the thrust measurement and the telescoping gage measurement is greater than 0.1524 mm (0.006 in), reduce the distance by doing the following:
1. 16.1. Select a new thrust block of the correct size in order to obtain the 0.000-0.1524 mm (0.000-0.006 in) clearance.
2. 16.2. If a thrust block of the correct size is not available, increase or reduce the left and/or right thrust washers thickness in order to reduce the distance.
  Important: The backlash must be rechecked and adjusted to specification anytime the left and/or the right thrust washers are replaced.
3. 16.3. If the thrust washers were replaced, recheck the backlash.
