Differental Disassembly

DIFFERENTIAL DISASSEMBLY

(1) Remove the bearings from the differential case with Press C-293PA, Plug C-293-3, Adapter C-293-39.






Place adapter rings so they do not damage the bearing cage.

(2) Remove bearing shims from case hubs and mark them (with hub identity) for assembly reference. Record the thickness of the shims.
(3) Clamp the differential case in a vise equipped with soft jaws. Remove and discard the ring gear bolts. Tap the ring gear with a rawhide or plastic mallet and remove.







(4) Use a drift to remove the pinion gear mate shaft lock pin.






(5) Remove the mate shaft with a drift and hammer.
