Differential Case Disassemble

Differential Case Disassemble

Tools Required

* 87 92 210 Support, Differential Bearing
* SA9120T Differential Bearing Installer
* SA9172G Ball Detent Handle
* SA9211T-2 5th Gear Puller
* SA9211T2-4 Thread On Adapter




1. Mount the differential in a vise with soft jaws.

Notice: The thread on adapter must be used on the 5th gear puller when removing the differential bearings. If the adapter is not used, the puller can be damaged.

2. Remove the differential bearings using the SA9211T-2 with the SA9211T2-4. Use the 87 92 210 as a base for the puller as shown.




3. Disassemble the differential gear assembly by removing 12 ring gear to case bolts (306). Separate the differential case (320) from the ring gear (307).
An option for limited slip differential or open differential exists for some models. See inset. Both differential assemblies are serviced only as a complete assembly. The bolts, ring gear and tapered roller bearings are serviceable components.
