NOTE: Some differential carrier housings have blind

tapped holes for mounting pinion shaft assembly. If

holes are blind, use stacks of flat washers on bolts

when installing pinion shaft assembly without oil seal

retainer to prevent bolts from bottoming in blind

holes.

12. After torquing bolts, insert axle shaft into differential

so that it engages side gear and check for backlash

between clutch teeth of NoSPIN differential (Fig.

118). A backlash of approximately 5/32 inch must be

present. If proper backlash does not exist;

disassemble differential case halves and recheck for
