Differential Assembly

With thrust washer on each side gear, install gears in case, then insert each pinion and thrust washer exactly 180° opposite each other so pinion shaft holes in gears and thrust washer are aligned. Now rotate side gears 90° so pinion shaft holes in case are exactly aligned with pinion and thrust washer holes. Working from lock pin hole side of case, install slotted part of pinion shaft through case, conical thrust washer and just through one pinion gear. Install thrust block between pinions with ground sides facing side gears. Push pinion shaft in until lock pin hole in shaft is aligned with hole in case, then install lock pin. Install ring gear on case flange, start bolts, tap gear on flange, and tighten bolts alternately to specifications. Install side bearings on case hubs (taper away from ring gear).
