10. Put tooling (C) in position on the axle retainer bolt as shown. Lift the axle shaft up and down to obtain bearing end play. Subtract original shim thickness from the reading obtained. Use the correct amount of shims or shim to obtain zero end play.

11. Install axle bolt lock (17). It may be necessary to loosen or tighten the axle bolt so the lock slides freely over the bolt. Make sure the bolt keeps its original torque. See Step 9.

12. Install outer brake housing (16).

NOTE: Prior to installation of the sun gear and brake discs and plates, it will be necessary to obtain the differential pre-load adjustment if any of the following parts have been damaged and new parts installed. a. Right side axle housing. b. Planetary ring gear. c. Outer brake housing. d. Inner brake housing. e. Rear axle center housing.

13. The differential pre-load adjustment will be made on the left side axle housing only.

14. Install the inner brake housing in the axle housing without its bearing race or shim. Tighten the nuts and bolts until the housing is completely seated.

15. Install tool (D) on the inner brake housing. Use a feeler gauge to measure the gap. This dimension will determine the shim thickness for the differential pre-load.

16. Remove the inner brake housing from the axle housing.

17. Put the correct assembly shims (19) in the bore of the inner brake housing. Lower the temperature of bearing race (18), and install it in the brake housing. Make sure the bearing race is completely seated in its bore. See Shim Chart in Specifications.

18. Install brake torque pin (21). Install outer brake disc (24), plate (22) and disc (23). Install sun gear (20).

19. Put shaft lever (25) in position between the brake actuator links. Install pin (26) and cotter pin (28). Connect brake actuator halves (29) with springs (27).

20. Install brake actuator assembly (30) in the axle housing. Install nut (31) to hold it in place.

21. Install inner disc (34), plate (33) and disc (32).

22. Make sure the brake discs, plates and brake actuator are centered. Put inner brake housing (35) in position, and install nuts (37) and bolts (36) that hold it. Tighten the nuts to a torque of 98 to 102 N¡m (72 to 90 lb.ft.).

23. Install differential lock fork (39) and shaft (41). Put bolt (38) in alignment with hole (40) in the shaft. Tighten nut (37).
