16. Check the rotating resistance of the differential gears.
Use the following procedure.
Rotating Resistance Check of Differential Gears
Specification:
50 lb.-ft. (67.8 Nm) torque maximum applied to one side
gear.
NOTE: Make a tool fO" checking the rotat-
ing resistance of the differential gears. the
tool can be made from an axle shaft that
matches the spline size of the differential
side gear. See Figure 2-71.
a. Install soft metal covers over vise jaws to protect the
,g gear (Figure 2- 72).
b. Put the differential and ring gear assembly in the vise.

d. Attach a torque wrench to the nut of the tool and
rotate the differential gears.
As
the differential gears rotate, read
the value indicated on the torque wrench (Figure 2-73).
