Fig. 5 Eaton locking differential exploded view:

1. Note position of governor and latching bracket, Fig. 3, then remove side bearings and ring gear as outlined for standard differential.
2. Remove governor and latching bracket bushings using J-26252 or equivalent, Fig. 4, then the governor and latching bracket. Position latching bracket spring aside when removing governor bushing to prevent damage.
3. Drive stop pin from case using suitable drift, Fig. 5.
4. Remove differential pinion shaft lock bolt and the pinion shaft.
5. Roll out differential pinions and remove pinions and thrust washers, keeping components in order for assembly.
6. Remove right side gear, disc pack and shim, and guide clips.
7. Remove left cam gear, disc pack assembly, shim and guide clips.
8. Clean and inspect all components, keeping components in order for assembly, and replace components that are damaged, distorted or excessively worn. Due to critical tolerances required for proper operation, the differential case cannot be serviced separately. If case is defective, the entire differential assembly must be replaced. In addition, internal clearances are such that shims, thrust block or gears should not be replaced unnecessarily, even if slight wear patterns are evident. If shims, thrust block, cam gear thrust ring or side gears must be replaced, measurement and replacement procedures must be followed as outlined in order to maintain critical assembly clearances.
