FINAL DIFF ASSEMBLY
Hold the #4551 axle upright and apply a small amount of 
#6636 grease onto the aluminum hub of the axle, and slide 
the #6579 diff ring over the axle and against the hub.
Slide the #4460 spur gear over the axle and center it on 
the hub.
Apply a small amount of #6636 grease to the second 
#6579 diff ring as shown. Slide it over the axle, greased 
side towards the gear. This will keep the diff ring in place 
while assembling.
Insert a #897 flanged bearing into the outside end of the 
#4553 wheel hub. Add a little #6636 grease to the smaller 
end, then slide the #4553 wheel hub over the axle.
Install the #4555 cone so that the smaller end is facing the 
bearing. Place the #4459 Belleville washer over the axle 
so that the smaller end faces away from the cone, and 
secure with a #4185 locknut. We will adjust the diff after 
we put the wheels on.

CHECK THE END PLAY
Screw on the #4552 left wheel hub, then 
check the axle for side to side end play. Use 
the #4554 shims to take up any excess end 
play, if needed.
When you have finished setting the axle end  
play, install the #4185 locknut to secure the 
left wheel hub.
