Limited Slip Differential Component Disassembly Note

1.  Place one of the axle shafts, which was removed from the component, into a vise, with the splines extending above the jaws of the vise far enough to component. Position the differential case onto the axle shaft as a holding fixture by aligning the splines of the side gear with those of the axle shaft.

2.  Install the SST into the bottom of the side gear, and apply grease to the centering hole of it.

3.  Install the SSTs into the differential case.

4.  Tighten the SSTs to move the side gears away from the pinion gears and relieve the normal loaded condition.

5.  Push out the thrust washers located behind the pinion gears.

6.  Momentarily loosen the SST. Retighten the SST until a very slight movement of the pinion gears is seen.

7.  Insert SST into the bore of the pinion shaft and rotate the differential case until the pinion gears can be removed through the large openings in the differential case.

8.  Retain the top side gear and clutch pack in the differential case by hand and remove the SSTs.

9.  Remove the top side gear and clutch pack. Keep the stack of the clutch plates and clutch discs in exact order.

10.  Remove the retainer clips from both clutch packs to allow separation of the clutch discs and clutch plates for cleaning and inspection.
