A retainer block and pinion cross shaft structure for a bevel gear differential eliminates the need for securing the cross shaft to the differential case by means of a conventional pressed roll pin. The retainer block is slotted and is adapted to be slipped over opposed flat surfaces formed on the central portion of the cross shaft to prevent axial and rotational movement of the cross shaft relative to the retainer block. The retainer block includes opposed end portions which extend axially outwardly into both side gear spline bores. The inner ends of the axle shafts are adapted to engage the opposed end surfaces of the retainer block to maintain the block and cross shaft in a fixed position relative to the differential case.
