sembly from the axle assembly. Remove the gasket and
any remaining gasket material.
2. Remove the retaining rings and the driven gear from
the input shaft/pinion gear.

available in matched set with differential ring gear.
Installation
NOTE: When installing bearing cones onto the input
shaft/pinion gear, press only on the inner race of the
bearing cone.
1. If the inner bearing cone was removed, press a new
bearing cone all the way onto the input shaft/pinion gear.
2. Place the shaft and bearing assembly in the bearing
case and install the outer bearing cone.
NOTE: The bearings must be completely seated.
There should be no input shaft/pinion gear end play.
3. Coat a new oil seal with grease and install as shown
