Locking Differential Assemble (10.5 Inch Axle)

Important: The left and right side gear backlash and thrust block thickness measurement must be completed before the components of the differential can be assembled.





1. Install the right side differential side gear shim into the right differential case half.





2. Install the locking differential side gear cam unit and clutch disc assembly.





3. Install the latching bracket and spring assembly.





4. Install the governor assembly.





5. Position the straight end of the latching bracket spring over the governor assembly shaft.





6. Install the locking differential spider, the differential pinion gears, and the differential pinion gear thrust washers into the differential case.





7. Install the thrust block.





8. Install the left side differential side gear shim into the left differential case half.





9. Install the left side clutch disc assembly.





10. Install the locking differential side gear.





11. Install the left case half to the right case half. Hold the left side locking differential side gear and clutch disc assembly in the left side case half. Align the governor and latching bracket assembly shaft with the holes in the left case half.
12. Turn the differential case over onto the left case half.





Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

13. Install the differential case screws.
^ Tighten the differential case screws to 17 Nm (13 lb ft).
14. Install the ring gear.
15. Install the differential side bearings.
