4. If the rotating torque of the drive pinion is less than 1.7 N.m (15 lb in) for new bearings or 1.1 N.m (10 lb in) for used bearings, tighten the pinion in small increments until the specified rotating torque is obtained. 5. If the rotating torque of the drive pinion is greater than 3.4 N.m (30 lb in) for new bearings or 2.3 N.m (20 lb in) for used bearings, remove the drive pinion and replace the collapsible spacer and re-install the 6. Install the differential assembly into the axle housing, if necessary. 7. Support the differential assembly in order to prevent the differential assembly from falling out of the axle housing. 8. Slide the differential case assembly towards the right side axle housing until the ring gear contacts the drive pinion. This is the ZERO backlash point. If the ZERO backlash cannot be obtained, turn the differential bearing adjuster nut into the axle housing 9. While holding the ring gear against the pinion, turn the differential bearing adjuster nut out from the axle housing using the J 24429 until it contacts the differential side bearing. See Special Tools and 10. Turn the adjuster nut out from the axle housing an additional 2 slots using the J 24429 in order to obtain the initial backlash adjustment. See Special Tools and Equipment . IMPORTANT: Do not force the ring gear into contact with the drive pinion.
