(15) Slowly tighten the nut in 6.8 N·m (5 ft. lbs.) increments until desired rotating torque is achieved. • Original Bearings: 1 to 2.5 N·m (10 to 20 in. lbs.) • New Bearings: 1.7 to 2.5 N·m (15 to 22 in. lbs.) CAUTION: Never loosen pinion nut to decrease pin- (16) Invert the differential case and start two ring gear bolts. This will provide case-to-ring gear bolt (17) Invert the differential case in the vise. tighten to 108 N·m (80 ft. lbs.) (Fig. 45). CAUTION: Do not reuse the bolts that held the ring (19) Install differential in axle housing and verify gear mesh and contact pattern. (20) Install differential cover and fill with gear lubricant. (21) Install propeller shaft wtih reference marks aligned. (22) Remove support and lower vehicle.
