FRONT AXLE (4X4) 27 NOTE If only oil seal needs to be changed, measure rotating torque of pinion with the help special tool. In this case use new collapsible spacer and keep same rotational torque of pinion as before. 9. Place differential case in vice as shown. Apply grease to new side gear thrust washers and hubs of side gears. Assemble both side gears. Apply grease to new pinion mate spherical washers, and the pinion mate gears. Assemble pinion mate gears. NOTE  Always replace gears as a complete set.  Do not mix new gears with old gears, as this may cause uneven wear and shorter gear life.  An easy way to assemble the side gears and pinion mate gears is to have all parts lubricated before assembly.  Assemble both side gears and thrust washers, hold them in place with one hand, and then assemble the pinion mate gear to hold the side gear in place. Rotate the side gears until the holes of the spherical washers and pinion mate gears line up with the holes in the case. If the gears cannot be rotated by hand, install one of the axle shafts into the side gear splines and use a pipe wrench to turn the shaft. 10.Use a drift to line holes of the gears up with case. Insert Assemble shaft and drive on shaft to remove drift. Be sure vertical lock pin hole is lined up with that of the case, and that pinion mate washers are in place and lined up with gear and case. 11.Assemble roll pin with a small drift. When roll pin bottoms out, stake (peen) metal of case over pin in two places, 180 degrees apart. 12.Use a drift to line holes of the gears up with case. Assemble shaft, drive on shaft to remove drift. Be sure vertical lock pin hole is lined up with that of the case, and that pinion mate washers are in place and lined up with gear and case. When roll pin bottoms out, stake (Peen) a little metal over the edges in two places 180° Apart
