Remove Wheel Differential - All Standard Models
1.
Mount differential carrier in repair stand.
Note: Omit this step if the gear set is to be replaced. If gear
set is to be reused, check tooth contact pattern and ring
gear backlash before disassembling differential carrier.
When checking backlash, a yoke or helical gear must be
installed and torqued to get an accurate reading. Best
results are obtained when established wear patterns are
maintained in used gearing.
2.
If reusing gear set, also punch mark bearing adjust-
ers for reference during assembly.
3.
Remove cap screws, flat washers, and bearing caps.
Loosen bearing adjusters and remove adjusters and
bearing cups.
4.
Using a chain hoist, lift ring gear and differential
assembly out of carrier.
