Gear Assembly

Fig. 5 Exploded view of limited slip differential:

1. Remove case from gear carrier, as described under conventional differential.

Fig. 6 Side bearing removal:

2. Remove side bearing using tool Nos. C-293-PA, C-4570 and MB990723 or equivalent, ensuring to keep adjusting spacers separate to facilitate reassembly.
3. Mark relative position between differential case and drive gear, then loosen and remove drive gear mounting bolts in a diagonal sequence.
4. Evenly loosen A & B differential case attaching bolts, then separate the two halves and remove components from case B. Separate right and left thrust washers, spring plates, spring discs, friction plates and friction discs to facilitate assembly.
