Differential CaseDisassembly and Assembly
1. Remove the differential case from the differential housing.
2. NOTE: When the differential pinion shaft is removed from the differential case, drive the roll pin from the shaft.
Use a drift punch to drive the roll pin into the differential pinion shaft until the roll pin bottoms against the differential case.
3. Remove the differential pinion shaft.
4. Remove the differential pinion gears and thrust washers.
5. Remove the differential side gears and thrust washers.
6. Inspect all parts.
7. NOTE: Align the differential pinion shaft hole with the hole in the differential case. Using a hammer, install the differential shaft roll pin in the differential case until the pin is flush with the case.
To assemble, reverse the disassembly procedure.
