case several revolutions in each direc-

tion while the bearings are loaded to

seat the bearings in their cups. This

step is important.

5. Again loosen the right nut to re-

lease the preload. Check to see that

the left nut contacts the bearing cup.

Using the dial indicator set-up shown

in Fig. 13, Part 4-1, adjust the preload

to 0.008 to 0.012 case spread for new

bearings or 0.005 to 0.008 for the

original bearings, if re-used.

6. Check the runout of the differen-

tial case flange with a dial indicator.

If the runout does not now exceed

specifications, install a new ring gear,

if the runout still exceeds specifica-

tions,
the ring gear is true and the

trouble is due to either a defective

casting or worn bearings.

7.
Remove the differential case

from the carrier and remove the side

bearings from the case.

8. Install new bearings on the case

hubs,
and again install the differential

assembly in the carrier without the

ring gear.

9. Check the case runout again with

the new bearings. If the runout is now

within limits, the old bearings were

excessively worn. Use the new bear-

ings for assembly. If the runout is still

excessive, the case is defective and

should be replaced.

ASSEMBLY OF AXLE

Refer to Part 4-1 of this Shop

Manual for Cleaning and Inspection

procedures before starting assembly

operations.

ASSEMBLY OF

DIFFERENTIAL CASE

1.
Place the ring gear on the differ-

ential case. Install the retaining bolts

and torque them to specification.

2.
If the differential bearings were

removed, press them on as shown in

Fig. 17.

3.
Insert the pinion gear shaft lock

bolt into the case (loosely).

INSTALLATION OF DRIVE

PINION AND

DIFFERENTIAL CASE

1.
Place the shim(s) and pinion rear

bearing cone on the pinion shaft.

Press the bearing and shim(s) firmly

against the pinion shaft shoulder (Fig.

18).

2.
Place a new pinion bearing pre-

load (collapsible) spacer on the pinion

shaft.

Installation

3.
Lubricate the pinion rear bearing

with axle lubricant.

4.
Lubricate the pinion front bear-

ing with axle lubricant. Lubricate the

pinion front bearing cone and place it

in the carrier housing.

5.
Install a new oil seal in the car-

rier casting (Fig. 19).

6. Insert the drive pinion shaft (U-

joint) flange into the pinion seal and

hold it firmly against the pinion front

bearing cone. From the rear of the

carrier casting, insert the pinion shaft

into the flange.

7.
Apply a small amount of lubri-

cant to the washer side of the flange

nut and start the nut. Use a new nut.

Hold the flange with the tool shown in

Fig. 12 and tighten the pinion shaft

nut. As the pinion shaft nut is tight-

ened, the pinion shaft is pulled into

the front bearing cone and into the

flange.

As the pinion shaft is pulled into

the front bearing cone, pinion shaft

end play is reduced. While there is

still end play in the pinion shaft, the

flange and cone will be felt to bottom.

This indicates that the bearing cone

and flange have bottomed on the col-

lapsible spacer.

From this point, a much greater

torque must be applied to turn the

pinion shaft nut, since the spacer must

be collapsed. From this point, also,

the nut should be tightened very slow-

ly and the pinion bearing preload play

checked often, so that the pinion bear-

ing preload does not exceed the speci-

fied limits.

If the pinion shaft nut is tightened

to the point that pinion bearing pre-

load exceeds the limits, the pinion

shaft must be removed and a new col-

lapsible spacer installed. Do not de-

crease the preload by loosening the

pinion shaft nut. This will remove the

compression between the pinion front

and rear bearing cones and the col-

lapsible spacer and may permit the

front bearing cone to turn on the pin-

ion shaft.

8. As soon as there is preload on

the bearings, turn the pinion shaft in

both directions several times to seat

the bearing rollers.

9. Adjust the bearing preload to

specification. Measure the preload

with the tool shown in Fig. 20.

10.
Apply a thin coating of lubri-

cant on the bearing bores so that the

differential bearing cups will move

easily.

11.
Place the cups on the bearings

and set the differential case assembly

in the carrier casting.

If the gear set is of the non-hunting

or partial non-hunting type, assemble

the differential case and ring gear as-

sembly in the carrier so that the

marked tooth on the pinion indexes

between the marked teeth on the ring

gear as shown in Fig. 49, Part 4-2.

In almost every case of improper

assembly (gears assembled out of

time),
the noise level and probability

of failure will be higher than they

would be with properly assembled

gears.

gear set (no timing marks), assembleprocarmanuals.com

FLYWHEEL HOUSING ALIGNMENT

Alignment of the flywheel housing

bore and rear face with the engine

should be checked as a possible cause

of any of the following troubles- ex-

cessive transmission gear wear, ..ans-

mission jumping out of gear, especial-

ly third gear, drive line vibration, ex-

cessive pilot bushing wear, noisy re-

lease bearing, or excessive clutch spin

time.

INSPECTION

1. With the clutch release bearing

removed, install the indicator pilot

tool shown in Fig. 1.

2.
Clean the faces of the flywheel

housing bolt bosses, and remove all

burrs, nicks, and paint from the

mounting face of the housing.

3.
Install the dial indicator on the

pilot and adjust the holder so the but-

ton will contact a circumference just

inside of the transmission mounting

holes.

4.
Push the flywheel forward to re-

move crankshaft end play. Set the dial

indicator face to read zero.

5.
Remove the spark plugs to alle-

viate compression.

6. Pull the engine crankshaft

through one revolution. The crank-

shaft must be held in the forward po-

sition while rotating it.

7. Note the indicator reading and

mark the maximum point of runout

on the face of the housing (Fig. 1).
8. Position the dial indicator to

check bore alignment (Fig. 1). The

bore must be clean and free of burrs,

nicks and paint.

9. Pull the crankshaft through one

revolution. Note the indicator reading

and mark the maximum point of run-

out on the face of the housing as

shown in Fig. 1.

10.
Remove the dial indicator from

the crankshaft and the housing.

11.
Select the Dia-L-lgner pilot

(Fig. 2) which will fit snugly in the

bore of the flywheel housing.

12.
Press the pilot into place on the

locator on the back of the dial.
13.
Position the Dia-L-lgner on the

face of the housing (Fig. 3) with the

pilot in the bore.

14.
Rotate the face runout arrow to

the positive face runout mark on the

housing.

15.
Without moving the face runout

arrow, rotate arrow A until it is at the

negative bore reading.

16.
Slide arrow A to register the

amount of bore runout on the .010-

line of the white scale. Use the

scale No. to coincide with the pilot

being used.
