What you call the "differential gear case" is generally termed the "carrier"

The axle is supposed to be able to spin inside the carrier else the two would bind and scrape when going around a corner

The absolute best resource for anything to do with a Model A rear end is Tom Endy who posts here often and has been generous enough to have a link to his step-by-step rebuild procedure, which I might add should be followed to the letter, unless you like removing and replacing the rear end

The differential rebuild article referenced here was written in 2008 and has since been revised in 2014 with more and larger photos and additional instructive information. The 2014 revision runs out to about 65 pages.

The revision can be found on the web site of the Santa Anita A's of Arcadia, CA. Go to santaanitaas.org. On the home page put your cursor over "Technical Reference", my name will appear below, click on it. A menu of 82 articles will open. Scroll down to the one titled differential revision 2014 and click. It is a pdf file, you are welcome to download it and print it out.
