13.Place the differential case in a vise as shown
(Fig. 34). Apply grease to new side gear thrust washers
and hubs of the side gears. Apply grease to new pinion
mate spherical washers and pinion mate gears. Place
the side gears and thrust washers in the case. Install the
pinion gears while holding the side gears in place.
Rotate the side gears until the holes of the washers and
pinion gears line up with the holes of the case. If the
gears cannot be rotated by hand, install one of the axle
shafts into the side gear spline and use a pipe wrench
to turn the shafts.
14.Install the pinion shaft. Grease the shaft to aid as-
sembly. Be sure the hole in the pinion shaft lines up with
the hole in the differential case (Fig. 35).
15.Assemble the lock pin. Drive the pin to the approxi-
mate center location of the pinion mate shaft. Peen the
metal of the case to lock the pin in place (Fig. 36).
