3. Lubricate  and fit the two sun  gears  followed 
by  the  planet gears. 
4. Align  the planet  gears with the carrier  holes 
and 
fit the  cross  shaft.  Secure  the  shaft  with 
new  circlips.  Check the  gears  for freedom  of 
rotation  and  that  there  are  not tight  spots. 
Only  nominal  backlash  should  be  present but 
if excessive,  the  gears  or the  carrier  or both 
should  be changed  since there  is  no provision 
for  adjustment.

3. Fit a suitable  socket to the  torque  pre-load 
meter  M.S. 103 or a suitable  alternative,  and 
check  the pre
-load  figure  by  turning the 
pinion,  with  the meter,  in a clockwise 
direction.  Continue  to tighten  the  nut until  the 
gauge  reads 2 to  4 Nm. 
4.  Note  that if the  original,  bedded
-in,  bearings 
are  being  refitted the pre
-load  figure  should be 
1.2  to 1.7  Nm.

7. Ensure  that the  pinion  head is clean and 
smooth.  Transfer  the  gauge 
to the pinion 
housing 
so that  the magnetic  base sits 
centrally  on  the pinion end face  and the stylus 
rests  on the 
lowest point in one of the  carrier 
bearing  saddles. 
Make a note of the  dial 
gauge  reading 
from the  zeroed  setting and 
whether  the gauge  needle  moved up 
or down. 
Now move the dial  gauge  across to the other 
saddle  and again  note  the reading  from the...

1. Position  the  pinion housing  horizontally  in the 
vice.  From  the pinion  housing  remove the 
drive  flange,  spacer,  tail  bearing and pinion. 
2. Fit  a new  shim  or shims of the  same 
thickness  as the  originals  to  the pinion. 
If 
these  are lost  and the  thickness is unknown fit 
shims...

5. After evenly  tightening  the  bearing  cap  bolts 
to the correct  torque,  check  the backlash 
again 
to ensure  that it has  not  altered  the 
setting.  Fit  the locking  finger  and secure  with 
the  roll  pin. 
6. Locate  a new  joint  washer  over  the axle 
casing  studs,  liberally  lubricate  the  bearings 
and  gears  and refit the  differential  assembly 
to 
the axle. Fit and  tighten  the retaining  nuts 
evenly 
to the  correct  torque.
