Assembly of the differential is the reverse of disassembly.
[1] – Clean old thread lock compound from ring gear bolt threads and differential housing holes.
[2] – Apply a small amount of lithium grease to thrust washers to hold them in place while assembling.
[3] – Install gears in differential housing. Make sure that differential lock gear is on correct side of housing. Install pinion shaft. Make sure all gears rotate freely.
[4] – Align holes in differential housing and pinion shaft and drive roll pin (A) through pinion shaft and into differential housing.
[5] – Apply thread lock and sealer (high strength) to ring gear bolts and install ring gear with the machined (flat) side against differential.
[6] – Tighten ring gear bolts to specification in a cross pattern.
[7] – Install differential lock collar. Make sure collar seats fully into differential side gear.
[8] – Install bearings.
