Differential Assembly: Disassembly
- Perform pre-disassembly inspection. Position dial indicator assembly on transaxle case. Position dial indicator tip against side gear. See Fig 1. Measure side gear backlash while holding one pinion gear toward case. Backlash should be .002-.008" (.05-.20 mm). Note and record reading.
- Mark ring gear and differential case for reassembly reference. Remove 14 ring gear bolts. Using a plastic hammer, tap on ring gear to remove it from differential case. See Fig 2.
- Using appropriate puller, remove front and rear tapered roller bearings (if necessary). Using a pin punch and hammer, drive out pinion shaft pin from ring gear side of case. Remove differential pinion shaft from differential case.
- Remove 2 differential pinion gears, side gears, and 4 thrust washers. Using appropriate puller, remove side gear bearing outer races and shim from transaxle housing and transaxle case. Remove oil seals from transaxle housing and transaxle case.
