Section 4
Assembly and Installation
11. Use appropriate tools to screw the pinion cage
into the carrier while rotating the pinion to
seat the bearings.
12. Tighten the pinion cage to adjust the drive
pinion bearing preload. Check the preload by
rotating the pinion by the yoke locknut with
a torque wrench. Figure 4.9. The correct
torque is 5-20 lb-in (5.8-23 N•m).
13. Position the pinion cage lock plate.
Figure 4.10.
If the lock plate does not match one of
the four possible positions: Tighten or
loosen the pinion cage while checking the
preload to keep it within specification.
14. Install the capscrews and tighten them to
10-13 lb-ft (14-18 N•m). Remove the yoke
locknut.

a yoke bar.
17. Tighten the locknut to 740-920 lb-ft
(1000-1245 N•m). Remove the yoke bar.

3. Install the bearing cup and adjusting ring into
the carrier on the bolted-on bearing cap side.
4. Position the differential cap onto the carrier.
Install the capscrews and tighten them to
115-140 lb-ft (155-190 N•m).
5. Adjust the differential bearings preload and
