(3) Torque for ten bolts that fasten carrier (4) to the axle
housing
270 + 25 N m (200 ± 18 lb ft.)
(6) Torque for eight bolts that fasten pinion housing
(7) to carrier (4) 270 + 25 N-m (200 -+ 18 Ib.ft.) (11) Torque
for 12 bolts that hold the differential group together
135 + 20 N-m (100 + 15 Ib.ft)
(13) Apply 9S3263 Thread Lock to the internal threads in bevel
gear (12) Torque 24 bolts that fasten bevel gear (12) to the
differential group 135 ± 15 N M (100 ± 11 Ib.ft.)
(16) Torque for four bolts that fasten the caps to carrier (4)
after the preload and backlash adjustments have been made
475 + 50 N-m (350 + 37 Ib.ft.) Adjustment Procedure: Pinion
Preload Adjustment
1. Install bearing cups in housing (7) Bearing cups must be
against (seated) the shoulders in housing (7).
2 Install the bearing cone next to the pinion teeth on pinion (8).
Bearing cone must be against (seated) the shoulder on pinion
(8).
3 Lubricate bearing and install pinion (8) in housing (7)
Lubricate and install bearing cone, washer (9) and nut (10).
4. Position the assembly in a soft jawed vise. Tighten the vise
against the teeth on pinion (8). While turning housing (7)
tighten nut (10)
until the torque needed to turn the pinion is:
New bearings
0 7 to 1.1 N m (6 to 10 lb in.)
Used bearings
0.35 to 0.55 N M (3 to 5 lb in.)
Check to be sure that there is zero end play of pinion shaft (8).
5 When the torque needed to turn the pinion is correct, stake
nut (10) by peening the collar on the nut into the key slot in
pinion shaft (8), see Illustration A for the correct tooling and
dimensions
NOTE. The nut may be reused if the collar is not cracked
during removal or restaking.
