Disassembly
Make sure that you have all the
parts and tools you will need. The extent of disassembly
depends on the job being done and the inspection
findings. Lift the vehicle using an appropriate lift or a
jack and safe jack stands. Always make certain that the
vehicle is safely supported before working underneath.
Unbolt the driveshaft from the yoke. Remove the
differential cover or unbolt the third member. Let the
oil drain into a suitable container. Please recycle your
waste oil. Remove c-clip axles by removing the
differential cross pin bolt and cross pin shaft, pushing
the axles in and pulling the c-clips. Full float axles
are unbolted at the hubs. Punch both carrier caps with
identification marks so that you will be able to
re-install them on the same side and in the same
direction. Most carriers can be pried out of the housing
with a pry bar. Further disassembly depends on the job
being done. If you're changing the ring and pinion
or the pinion bearings, remove the pinion nut with an air
gun while holding the yoke, or use a long breaker bar and
brace the yoke (bolt it to a long board) so that it
can't move. Knock the pinion gear out to the rear
with a brass punch, taking care not to damage the
threads. Keep
track of the location and thickness of all of the
original shims.
Pinion bearings must be pressed off. Carrier bearings can
be pulled using a bearing puller. Internal parts (inside
the carrier) can be removed as necessary.
Inspect all bearings and races for
pitting or uneven wear. The inner carrier bearing races
should not spin on the carrier journals. The carrier
races should have a snug fit in the housing. Inspect the
carrier race bores for grooves from spinning races. The
side gear bores inside the carrier should not have any
abnormal wear. All gear teeth (including the spider
gears) should be smooth but not excessively shiny.
Inspect all gear teeth for pitting, chips, breaks, and
for signs of uneven wear and overheating. Inspect
positraction clutches for scoring and wear. Inspect the
axles for pitted, grooved, or dull and rough bearing
surfaces. Check for worn axle splines. All questionable
parts should be replace
Assembly
Differential Adjustments
The four essential differential
adjustments are pinion depth, pinion bearing preload,
backlash and carrier bearing preload. The tables at the
back can be used to write down shim combinations and
results.
