Removal 

1. First remove the right-hand differential side gear (17, viewed in the installed position) with friction washers.

2. Remove the left-hand differential side gear (17, on crown wheel side) with friction washers.

   Installation 

3. Mount friction washers in the correct sequence on both differential side gears and smear friction washers with lining (22 and 24) thoroughly with Universal hypoid transmission fluid.

   

   If new friction washers are installed, it is expedient to measure the friction washers with lining on one side (22) and install a new friction washer again which is approx. 0.1 mm thicker.

4. First install the left-hand differential side gear (17, on crown wheel side) with friction washers, then right-hand differential side gear (17) with friction washers and install assembly mandrel (046), paying attention to the lugs of the friction washers without lining (arrows).

   On the differential with 185 mm dia. crown wheel a friction washer without lining (23a) with 4 lugs and 2 grooves (arrows) is always installed towards the housing side as the end friction washer.
