Removal of the Differential Case
from the Carrier
other side with two marks (Figure 2). The caps are not inter-
changeable! Also mark each bearing adjuster directly under the
lock hole with this same mark to note its side and rotational posi-
tion. This mark is very important to correct re-assembly!
4. Remove the adjuster locks. (See Figure 3). Be sure
that each adjuster is marked at the lock with the correct number
of punch marks for each side. The adjusters are not interchange-
able after they are marked for position! (In general, the adjuster
locks themselves are interchangeable.)
5. Remove the bearing caps (Figure 3).
6. Slide (tap) the adjuster up and out and remove the
bearing race on the ring gear side first and put a very small grind
mark on the outside of the race to mark it. Scraping it on a ce-
ment floor also works, or you can use a tag. Be sure that you can
identify it for proper re-assembly on the correct side!
7. Remove the differential case and ring gear assembly
from the carrier along with the other adjuster and bearing race.
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 sug-
gest placing the whole assembly upright (the same position as
when in vehicle), looking at ring gear end. Mark carrier and bear-
ing cap on the ring gear side with one punch mark and on the
