Removing

NOTES:
- It is not necessary to remove the differential in order to remove the parts listed. Removal of the differential is only necessary in order to determine whether dimension "r" is marked on the ring gear. This dimension must be known if the transmission housing or the tapered roller bearings for pinion are to be replaced. If necessary, an actual measurement must be made.
- Removing differential and determining pinion installation position: refer to "Differential".
