Differential Carrier Disassemble

1. Use a screwdriver in order to remove the snap ring (699) from the front differential carrier.





2. Remove the first planetary pinion by removing the following parts:
2.1. The planetary pinion gear pin (712)
2.2. The pinion thrust washers (708)
2.3. The pinion gear roller bearings (709)
2.4. The bearing roller spacer (710)
2.5. The pinion (711)
3. Remove the remaining planetary pinions in the same way.
4. Remove the differential carrier sun gear thrust bearing assembly (698).

IMPORTANT: Make sure that the pinion is installed in the same way that it was removed. If the gear is installed upside down, noise may result, because of the change in the gear wear pattern.





5. Place the final drive carrier components into an oil pan in order to make sure that none of the bearing rollers are lost.





6. Use a drift pin and a mallet in order to remove the differential pinion gear shaft pin (702).






7. Remove the differential, pinion shaft (701).
8. Remove the differential pinion gears (704).
9. Remove the differential pinion gear thrust washers (703).
10. Remove the differential side gears (705).
11. Remove the differential side gear thrust washers (706).
