Cleaning and Inspection
Clean all parts thoroughly. Inspect all the parts for
wear, nicks and burrs. Replace worn or distorted
clutch plates. If the case is worn, it will be necessary
to replace both halves.
Assembly
(1) Position the clutch plates and discs in their
proper location, in each half of the case, Fig.
74.
(2)
Place the side gears in their retainers. Insert
splines of the retainers through splines of the clutch
disc.
(3) Place the aligning pin through one axle shaft
thrust spacer. Assemble the pinion shafts on the
aligning pin.

(4)
Place the pinion gears on the shafts and install
the assembly on the drive gear half of case. Insert
the thrust spacer in the pinion shaft (Fig.
75).
(5)
Slide the cap half of the case over the edge of
the bench far enough to insert one finger up through
the assembly to hold it together. Place the assembly
on the drive gear half, matching the scribe marks.
(6) Make sure the markings on each differential
case half coincide. Install the differential case bolts
and turn them in a few threads.
IMPORTANT: Insert the axle shafts from the ve-
hicle to align the splines. Make sure the axle shafts
engage the side gear splines as well as the clutch
ring splines.
(7)
With the shafts installed, center the cross
shafts between the two ramp surfaces in the differen-
tial case. Tighten the differential case bolts evenly
by alternately turning the opposite bolts until all are
tightened to
45
foot-pounds torque. After assembly,
slight misalignment of the splines can be corrected
