Reassembly

NOTE:
If replacement is required, always replace the drive
pinion and ring gear as a set.
If the drive pinion and ring gear are replaced, check the
height adjustment (see page 15-24).
If replacement of one of the tapered roller bearings in
the drive pinion and in the differential carrier is
required, use the same make bearings and replace both
bearings at the same time.
