1. Remove the ring gear bolts and then the ring gear.
It may need to be tapped off with a brass mallet. Mark it so
that it can be re-installed in the same rotational position as when
removed. Also mark the cap and case so that they can be re-as-

2. Remove the case cap. It may be pressed into posi-

3. Remove the pinion shaft(s), spider gears, side gears,
all washers, and the pinion shaft block.
4. Mark the side gear in the top of the case with a tag

will be placed in the bottom of the case during assembly.
Disassembly of the Differential Case
7. Remove the differential case and ring gear assembly

1. Thoroughly wash the differential case and remaining
parts with solvent, then dry them. Be sure to keep the side gears
separate.
2. Inspect the side gears. They are very important to
the proper operation of your new LOCK-RIGHT. The following
three figures show various levels of wear on the teeth.
a) New side gear (Figure 3). Note that the
surface is rough and that machining marks
are present on the side of the tooth. Will
function properly.
b) Moderately used side gear (Figure 4). Note
that polishing is evident but that some
