2 Removing the Existing Differential

2.6 Removing the Differential Center

IMPORTANT:

YOU MUST SPREAD THE HOUSING ON DANA 35 MODELS

Spreading the differential housing with a differential case

spreader is a step which is critical to set up bearing pre-load on

cast iron Dana 35 differential housings. Improper pre-load will

result in undue bearing wear, increased stresses in the

differential center, increased running noise, and ultimately, ring

and pinion gear damage.

c Remove both bearing caps.

c Carefully spread the housing (Fig.5.) enough to remove the

differential center. (Refer to your vehicle’s service manual).

NOTE : Do not spread the housing more than 0.50mm [0.020”].

NOTE : Be sure not to mix up the left and right hand bearing

cups and master shims. Later it will be necessary to

know which cup and shim came from which side.

c Once the housing has been adequately spread, the differential may

be removed by pulling forward on the differential carrier.

Figure 5.

NOTE : The differential center is heavy and quite difficult to

handle when covered in oil. Take care not to drop it.

c Relieve any tension on the spreader immediately after the

differential has been removed.
