6. Remove Lockout, Sliding Clutch and Shift Fork.. Starting
with axles built early in 1991, the sliding clutch and helical
slide gear curvic teeth diameter was increased to provide
greater tooth engagements. For additional parts and ser-
vice information, refer to Bulletin 91-01.
To remove the larger-diameter sliding clutch, first remove
the lockout (see pages 40-42). Then remove the sliding
clutch and shift fork (with the two parts engaged). Grasp
the assembly by hand and maneuver the assembly past
restrictions in the power divider cover.
To remove the smaller-diameter sliding clutch, (used on
earlier model axles), the clutch can be disengaged and re-
moved without removal of the lockout and shift fork.
