ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for adjusting the backlash on a differential has a clamp for holding the pinion gears to the housing, locating means for precisely positioning the housing and bevel gear relative to one another, an air cylinder to press the bevel gears towards the pinion gear, and a micrometer used to measure the travel distance of the bevel gear. The clamp preferably also includes tangs resiliently pressing the bevel gear away from the pinion gears, both to aid in separating the bevel gear from the pinion gears and to compress any clutch pack in the differential, e.g., if it is a limited slip differential.
