(2) Inspect the differential bearing cones and cups
for pitting or other visible damage. If replacement
is necessary, remove the bearings from the differen-
tial case with puller Tool C-293-F2 and adaptor plates
No. 18, (Fig. 22).
(3) Inspect the differential case (Fig. 23 and 24),
for elongated or enlarged pinion shaft holes and the
side gear counterbores and the four thrust washer
contacting surfaces for galling, metal deposits or
raised portions of metal. If any of the above condi-
tions exist, satisfactory correction must be made or
the case replaced. Inspect the case for cracks or other
visible damage which might render it unfit for further
service.
(4)
Inspect the differential pinion shaft for exces-
sive wear. Replace as necessary.
(5) Inspect the differential pinion gears for exces-
sive wear, cracks, chipped teeth or other visible dam-
age. Replace the pinion gears or thrust washers as
necessary.
(6)
Inspect the differential side gears for cracks,
chipped teeth or other visible damage. Replace the
differential side gears or thrust washers as necessary.
(7) Inspect the axle shaft thrust block for exces-
sive wear or other visible damage. The wear surface,
on opposite sides of the block, must be smooth. If
inspection reveals that replacement of the thrust
block is necessary, the axle shaft end play must be
reset.
(8)
Inspect the differential pinion shaft lock pin
for damage or looseness in the case. Replace the pin
or case as necessary.
