19. When you install new differential bearings, use the original shims or use
new shims of the same thickness. Press new differential bearings onto the
differential case. If a new differential case is being installed, start with a 0.50
mm (0.020 inch) pack of shims under each differential bearing
Note: Shims are available in 0.08 mm (0.003 inch), 0.13 mm (0.005 inch),
0.25 mm (0.010 inch), and 0.76 mm (0.030 inch) thickness.
20. Assemble new differential bearing cups onto the differential bearing cones.
Seat differential assembly with drive gear on proper side of carrier into the
carrier bearing cradles.
Note: This application requires that the ring gear teeth face toward the spur
gear cover.

21. The bearing cradles are designed to apply a slight preload to the bearings. It
is important to push both of the bearing assemblies simultaneously into their
saddles. Install the bearing caps into their original position as marked during
disassembly. Torque the bolts to 41 to 61 N·m (30 to 45 ft-lb)
