A/T Differential Carrier Bearing Outer Race Replacement




A/T Differential Carrier Bearing Outer Race Replacement

Special Tools Required

- Driver Handle, 15 x 135L 07749-0010000
- Attachment, 78 x 90 mm 07GAD-SD40101
- Attachment, 83 mm 07HAD-SG00100

NOTE:

- Replace the bearing with a new one whenever the outer race is replaced.
- Do not use shim(s) on the torque converter housing side.
- Adjust the preload after replacing the bearing and the outer race.
- Coat all parts with ATF during installation.

1. Remove the bearing outer race (A), the spacer (B), and the 85 mm thrust shim (C) from the transmission housing (D) by heating the transmission housing to about 212 °F (100 °C) using a heat gun (E). Do not heat the transmission housing more than 212 °F (100 °C).

NOTE: Let the transmission housing cool to room temperature before installing the bearing outer race.






2. Install the 85 mm thrust shim (A), the spacer (B), and the outer race (C) in the transmission housing (D).






3. Using the driver handle and the 83 mm attachment, drive the outer race securely in the transmission housing so there is no clearance between the outer race, the spacer, the shim, and the transmission housing.






4. Remove the baffle plate (A) and the oil catch plate (B), and remove the bearing outer race (C) and the spacer (D) from the torque converter housing (E).





5. Install the spacer and a new outer race in the torque converter housing.

6. Drive the bearing outer race securely in the torque converter housing using the driver handle and the 78 x 90 mm attachment.





7. Install the baffle plate and the oil catch plate over the outer race in the torque converter housing.
