9.42. The final assembly is easiest to perform with the

axle housing in a vertical position.

See Figure 9.42.

NOTE: Any number of means can be improvised

to suspend the axle housing by the pivot journal,

with the drop axle housing on the ground for sta-

bility.

9.43. Install the washers originally removed from

between the right differential bearing and the

right inner axle bearing. See Figure 9.43.

NOTE: If no major components have been

replaced, this is likely to result in the correct ring

and pinion gear back-lash setting. Otherwise,

some adjustment may be necessary.

9.44. Place the differential assembly into the right side

axle housing. See Figure 9.44.

• The 14 tooth miter gear in the differential must

seat over the splined end of the axle shaft.

• The roll pin in the differential cross pin must seat

into the bore in the end of the axle shaft.

9.45. Install the left side differential bearing wrong-

way-around in the differential housing: the nar-

row margin of the outer bearing race should be

seated in the differential, with the wide margin

facing up. See Figure 9.45.
