Removal of the Differential Case
from the Carrier
1. Remove the third member from the vehicle as de-
scribed in the shop manual. Follow all safety precautions.
2. Check to be sure that the third member is in good
condition and that nothing is loose, worn or scored. Rock the
ring gear back and forth to get a “feel” for the backlash and check
to see that it appears to be set up properly. If any out-of-spec
conditions exist, be sure to correct them before subsequent
re-assembly.
NOTE: The third member itself can be disassembled
and re-assembled without changing the ring and pinion settings
if you are careful. Follow these steps in detail.
3. Mark everything! Don’t touch a bolt until you
have done so. The easiest tool to use is a center punch. We
suggest placing the whole assembly upright (the same po-
sition as when in the vehicle), looking at the ring gear end.
