SPECIFICATIONS .
3. Using rods on collars of selector, turn selector in a direction which widens gap between collars of
selector. Turn selector (to widen gap) until it no longer turns. This will seat bearing race.
4. Turn selector collars in opposite direction until gap is closed. Mount preload adapter into differential until
it contacts pinion shaft. Using INCH-lb. torque wrench, rotate differential. See Fig. 14 . Turn selector
collars until turning torque is 0.26-6.59 INCH lbs. (0.03-0.74 N.m).

case. Install bearing race. Set differential in transaxle case. Install converter housing. Tighten bolts to
specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .
7. Position preload adapter into differential until in contacts pinion shaft. Measure bearing preload with
INCH-lb. torque wrench. See Fig. 14 . Differential bearing preload should be 0.26-6.59 INCH lbs. (0.03-
