Some technicians may comment that they encounter difficulty when using the locking differential governor removal tool, J 26252 (Figure 1). The spacer may interfere with a shoulder on the machined surface of the differential case causing the tool to pull at an angle to the bushing.

To correct this condition, the tool has been redesigned with a 45 degree flat added to the spacer. If your spacer does not have this 45 degree flat, it may be modified by adding a flat as shown in Figure 2. This flat will allow the spacer to center over the governor bushing and pull it straight out. If it is desired, a new spacer with the 45 degree flat may be purchased by contacting Kent-Moore Tools at 1-800-345-2233 and requesting Spacer, J 26252-4.
