(12) Remove differential from the housing. Ensure
that the differential bearing cups remain in position
on the differential bearings (Fig. 47).
(13) Remove bearing cups from the differential and
tag them to indicate their location.
(14) Remove differential case preload shims from
the housing and tag them to indicate their location.
(15) Remove spreader from housing.
INSTALLATION
NOTE: If differential bearings or differential case are
replaced, differential bearing preload shim require-
ments may change. Refer Adjustments (Differential
Bearing Preload and Gear Backlash) to determine
the proper shim selection.
(1) With Spreader W-129-B and adapters from
Adapter set 6987, position the adapters in the differ-
ential holes (Fig. 48). Install the hold-down clamps
and tighten the tool turnbuckle finger-tight.
(2) Install a Pilot Stud C-3288-B at the left side of
the differential housing. Attach Dial Indicator C-3339
to pilot stud. Load the indicator plunger against the
opposite side of the housing and zero the indicator.
(3) Spread the housing while measuring the dis-
tance with the dial indicator. Spread the housing
enough to install the differential case.
CAUTION: Do not spread over 0.38 mm (0.015 in). If
the housing is over±spread, it could be distorted or
damaged.
(4) Remove the dial indicator.(5) Install differential case in the housing (Fig. 49)
with bearing cups and preload shims in their original
locations. Tap the differential case to ensure the
bearings cups and shims are fully seated in the hous-
ing.

(16) Remove rear bearing from the pinion with
Puller/Press C-293-PA and Adapters C-293-39 (Fig.
74).
(17) Remove depth shims from pinion gear shaft
and record shim thickness.
INSTALLATION
NOTE: A pinion depth shim/oil slinger is placed
between the rear pinion bearing cone and the pin-
ion head to achieve proper ring gear and pinion
mesh. If ring gear and pinion are reused, the pinion
depth shim/oil slinger should not require replace-
ment. Refer to Adjustment (Pinion Gear Depth) to
select the proper thickness shim/oil slinger if ring
and pinion gears are replaced.
(1) Apply MopartDoor Ease or equivalent lubri-
cant to outside surface of bearing cup.
(2) Install pinion rear bearing cup with Installer
C-146 and Driver Handle C-4171 (Fig. 75) and verify
cup is seated.
(3) Apply MopartDoor Ease or equivalent lubri-
cant to outside surface of bearing cup.
(4) Install pinion front bearing cup with Installer
D-130 and Handle C-4171 (Fig. 76) and verify cup is
seated.
(5) Install pinion front bearing and oil slinger, if
equipped.

(6) Position Scooter Block/Dial Indicator flush on
the pinion height block. Hold scooter block and zero
the dial indicator.
(7) Slowly slide the scooter block across the pinion
height block over to the arbor (Fig. 13). Move the
scooter block till the dial indicator probe crests the
arbor, then record the highest reading.
(8) Select a shim equal to the dial indicator read-
ing plus the drive pinion gear depth variance number
etched/marked on the pinion (Fig. 8). For example, if
the depth variance is ±2, add +0.002 in. to the dial
indicator reading.
BEARING PRELOAD AND GEAR BACKLASH
The following must be considered when adjusting
bearing preload and gear backlash:
²The maximum ring gear backlash variation is
0.076 mm (0.003 inch).
²Mark the gears so the same teeth are meshed
during all backlash measurements.
²Maintain the torque while adjusting the bearing
preload and ring gear backlash.
²Excessive adjuster torque will introduce a high
bearing load and cause premature bearing failure.
Insufficient adjuster torque can result in excessive
differential case free-play and ring gear noise.
²Insufficient adjuster torque will not support the
ring gear correctly and can cause excessive differen-
tial case free-play and ring gear noise.
NOTE: The differential bearing cups will not always
immediately follow the threaded adjusters as they
are moved during adjustment. To ensure accurate
bearing cup responses to the adjustments:
²Maintain the gear teeth engaged (meshed) as
marked.
²The bearings must be seated by rapidly rotat-
ing the pinion gear a half turn back and forth.
²Do this five to ten times each time the threaded
adjusters are adjusted.
(1) Adjust each threaded adjuster inward with
Wrench C-4164 until the differential bearing free-
play is eliminated (Fig. 14). Allow some ring gear
backlash, approximately 0.25 mm (0.01 in.) between
the ring and pinion gear. Seat the bearing cups with
the procedure described above.

(2) Install dial indicator and position the plunger
against the drive side of a ring gear tooth (Fig. 15).
Measure the backlash at 4 positions (90 degrees
apart) around the ring gear. Locate and mark the
area of minimum backlash.
(3) Rotate the ring gear to the position of the least
backlash. Mark the gear so that all future backlash
measurements will be taken with the same gear
teeth meshed.
(4) Loosen the right-side, tighten the left-side
threaded adjuster. Obtain backlash of 0.076 to 0.102
mm (0.003 to 0.004 in.) with each adjuster tightened
to 14 N´m (10 ft. lbs.). Seat the bearing cups with the
procedure described above.
(5) Tighten the differential bearing cap bolts in a
criss-cross pattern to 95 N´m (70 ft. lbs.).
(6) Tighten the right-side threaded adjuster to 102
N´m (75 ft. lbs.). Seat the bearing cups with the pro-
cedure described above. Continue to tighten the
right-side adjuster and seat bearing cups until the
torque remains constant at 102 N´m (75 ft. lbs.)(7) Measure the ring gear backlash. The range of
backlash is 0.15 to 0.203 mm (0.006 to 0.008 in.).
(8) Continue increasing the torque at the right-
side threaded adjuster until the specified backlash is
obtained.
NOTE: The left-side threaded adjuster torque
should have approximately 102 N´m (75 ft. lbs.). If
the torque is considerably less, the complete
adjustment procedure must be repeated.
(9) Tighten the left-side threaded adjuster until
102 N´m (75 ft. lbs.) torque is indicated. Seat the
bearing rollers with the procedure described above.
Do this until the torque remains constant.
(10) Install the threaded adjuster locks and
tighten the lock screws to 10 N´m (90 in. lbs.).
After the proper backlash is achieved, perform the
Gear Contact Pattern procedure.
GEAR CONTACT PATTERN
The ring gear and pinion teeth contact patterns
will show if the pinion depth is correct in the hous-
ing. It will also show if the ring gear backlash has
been adjusted correctly. The backlash can be adjusted
within specifications to achieve desired tooth contact
patterns.
(1) Apply a thin coat of hydrated ferric oxide or
equivalent, to the drive and coast side of the ring
gear teeth.
(2) Wrap, twist and hold a shop towel around the
pinion yoke to increase the turning resistance of the
pinion. This will provide a more distinct contact pat-
tern.
(3) With a boxed end wrench on a ring gear bolt,
rotate the differential case one complete revolution in
both directions while a load is being applied from
shop towel.
The areas on the ring gear teeth with the greatest
degree of contact against the pinion teeth will squee-
gee the compound to the areas with the least amount
of contact. Note and compare patterns on the ring
gear teeth to Gear Tooth Contact Patterns chart (Fig.
16) and adjust pinion depth and gear backlash as
necessary.

a linear force against the secondary brake shoe. This
action presses the secondary shoe into contact with
the drum. Once the secondary shoe contacts the
drum, force is exerted through the strut. This force is
transferred through the strut to the primary brake
shoe causing it to pivot into the drum as well.
A gear type ratcheting mechanism is used to hold
the lever in an applied position. Parking brake
release is accomplished by the hand lever release
button.
A parking brake switch is mounted on the parking
brake lever and is actuated by movement of the
lever. The switch, which is in circuit with the red
warning light in the dash, will illuminate the warn-
ing light whenever the parking brakes are applied.
Parking brake is self-adjusting when the lever is
pulled. The cable tensioner, once adjusted at the fac-
tory, should not need further adjustment under nor-
mal circumstances.
