Installation

  1. Drive the outer pinion bearing cup into the axle housing using Pinion Bearing Cup Replacer (Outer) T85T-4616-AH and Driver Handle T80T-4000-W.





  1. Drive the inner pinion bearing cup into the axle housing using Pinion Bearing Cup Replacer (Inner) D81T-4616-A and Driver Handle D81L-4000-A or equivalents.





  1. Make sure the cups are properly seated in their bores. If a 0.038mm (0.0015 inch) feeler gauge can be inserted between a cup and the bottom of its bore at any point around the cup, the cup is not properly seated. Whenever the cups are replaced, the differential pinion bearings (4621) should also be replaced.
