During the following procedures, place the

differential assembly on a malleable surface to prevent

damage when removing components.
1. Remove the differential case cap screws.
2. Remove the flange half differential case and bearing
assembly. Use a screwdriver at the spider arm
machined slots of the case to loosen the flange from
the ring gear.
3. Remove the side gears, side pinions and differential
spider from the plain half case.
4. Place a block under the plain half, use a rubber mal-
let to remove the ring gear.
5. Remove the bearing cones from the case halves
using suitable pullers.
6. Remove the bearing cones from the plain and flange
halves in two steps:
a. Mount the puller vertically to split the bearing.

This action will start the bearing moving off the

differential case.
b. Mount the puller horizontally to remove the
