      *1 Vertical Runout:
      *2 Lateral Runout:
      *3 35 mm (1.38 in.)

      Using a dial indicator, measure the runout of the companion flange vertically and laterally.

      Maximum Runout
      Runout Specified Condition
      Vertical runout 0.10 mm (0.00394 in.)
      Lateral runout 0.10 mm (0.00394 in.)

      If the runout is more than the maximum, replace the companion flange.

  2. INSPECT RUNOUT OF DIFFERENTIAL RING GEAR


    1. A01X88S

      Using a dial indicator, measure the ring gear runout.

  3. INSPECT DIFFERENTIAL RING GEAR BACKLASH


    1. B001WDK

      Using a dial indicator, measure the ring gear backlash.

      Standard backlash
      0.10 to 0.20 mm (0.00394 to 0.00787 in.)

      Tech Tips

      Measure at 3 or more positions around the circumference of the ring gear.

      If the backlash is not as specified, adjust the side bearing preload or repair as necessary.

      SST
      09556-22010

      If the front bearing is damaged or worn, replace the bearing.

  9. REMOVE REAR DIFFERENTIAL BEARING ADJUSTING NUT LOCK


    1. A01X9B2

      Remove the 2 bolts and 2 adjusting nut locks.

  10. REMOVE DIFFERENTIAL CASE ASSEMBLY


    1. B001WRQE06
      *1 Matchmark

    2. Remove the 4 bolts, 2 bearing caps, 2 adjusting nuts and 2 bearings (outer race).

    3. B001VKLE01

      Remove the differential case from the differential carrier.

      Tech Tips

      Tag the 2 case bearing outer races to show the location for reassembly.

  11. REMOVE DIFFERENTIAL DRIVE PINION


    1. Remove the differential drive pinion from the differential carrier.

  12. REMOVE REAR DIFFERENTIAL DRIVE PINION BEARING SPACER

  13. REMOVE REAR DRIVE PINION REAR TAPERED ROLLER BEARING


    1. B001Z0UE01

  14. REMOVE REAR DIFFERENTIAL DRIVE PINION PLATE WASHER

  15. REMOVE REAR DRIVE PINION FRONT TAPERED ROLLER BEARING


    1. A01X7BD

  18. INSPECT RUNOUT OF DIFFERENTIAL CASE

    Tech Tips

    If the ring gear runout is at the maximum or less (refer to the "Inspect Runout of Differential Ring Gear" procedure), this inspection is not necessary.
