If the differential has cotter pins or cap-
screws, lock the adjusting rings only with
cotter pins or capscrews. If the differential
has roll pins, reuse the roll pins. Do not
force a roll pin into a cotter pin hole. Dam-
age to components can result.

or lock plates, if equipped, that hold the two
