1. Align mating marks of differential case A and B when assembling.

Fig. 40 Differential Pinion Mate Installation:

2. With pinion mate washers in position, install to differential pinion shaft, then to differential case B, Fig. 40.
3. If differential side gear and pinion mate gear have been replaced, select left thrust washer as follows:
a. Wash differential gear and pinion mate gears in unleaded gasoline.
b. Install old thrust washer together with gears, viscous unit, pinion mate washer and pinion shaft into differential cases A and B then temporarily tighten screws.
c. Perform Inspection Before Disassemble procedure.

Fig. 41 Left Thrust Washer Chart:

d. If clearance in thrust direction of side gear is not within 0.0012-0.0035 inch, remove differential case A and make adjustment by changing thickness of left thrust washer. Select one left thrust washer from 11 types in thrust washer kit tool No. MB569243, or equivalent, Fig. 41.
4. Reassemble case halves and install into differential.
