Caution: Refer to Fastener Caution in the Preface section.

Procedure

  1. Install the remaining spacers evenly at every other bolt hole.
  2. Remove the DT-47800-10 thrust washer selection bolts, spacer and shims , guide pins and install spacer bolts in all bolt holes at spacer locations.
  3. Tighten the bolts in sequence shown.

Front Differential Carrier Assembly

Caution: If the bearings are not properly seated into the bearing cups, the washer selection will be inaccurate and the bearing pre-load will be set too low. Low bearing pre-load will cause premature failure of the front differential drive pinion gear.

Tip
DT-47793 rotating tool can be used to rotate the differential from the case side.

Component Name

1

Front Differential Bearing Washer

Procedure

  1. Place DT-47800-7 in the gap in DT-47800-2 which are both part of DT-47800 kit , to determine the proper thrust washer. Choose the correct thrust washer. Refer to Taper Bearing Preload Selective Specifications .
  2. Continue trying different sizes of DT-47800-7 which is part of DT-47800 kit , until the gauge will no longer fit into the gap. The correct thrust washer size is equal to the largest blade gauge that fits into the gap.
  3. Match the size of the correct DT-47800-7 blade which is part of DT-47800 kit , to the colour code in the thrust washer specification chart. The washer colour coding is on the outside diameter of the washer.
  4. The gap in DT-47800-2 which is part of DT-47800 kit , may not be even. Hold the top of the gauge and rotate the bottom of the gauge to even out the gap. Take two gap measurements 180 degrees apart. Average the two measurements and select the thrust washer that is closest to the average.
  5. The washer colour coding is on the outside diameter of the washer.

Front Differential Drive Pinion Gear Bearing Thrust Washer

Procedure

  1. Place DT-47800-7 in the gap in DT-47800-1 which are both part of DT-47800 kit , to determine the proper thrust washer. Choose the correct thrust washer. Refer to Taper Bearing Preload Selective Specifications .
  2. Continue trying different sizes of DT-47800-7 which is part of DT-47800 kit , until the gauge will no longer fit into the gap. The correct thrust washer size is equal to the largest blade gauge that fits into the gap.
  3. Match the size of the correct DT-47800-7 blade which is part of DT-47800 kit , to the colour code in the thrust washer specification chart. The washer colour coding is on the outside diameter of the washer.
  4. The gap in DT-47800-1 which is part of DT-47800 kit , may not be even. Hold the top of the gauge and rotate the bottom of the gauge to even out the gap. Take two gap measurements 180 degrees apart. Average the two measurements and select the thrust washer that is closest to the average.
