Before disassembly, clean the outside of the differential assembly and remove any sand or mud to prevent it from entering the inside of the assembly during disassembly and installation.
When removing an installed part made of light alloy such as the differential carrier cover, tap it off with a brass bar and a hammer. Do not attempt to pry it off with a screwdriver.
Do not damage the sealing surfaces of the case. Such damage may cause oil leakage.
Do not add oil within 1 hour or allow rapid acceleration or deceleration within 12 hours of installing sealed parts.
Damage to surfaces in contact with an oil seal or gasket may cause oil leakage.
When installing an oil seal, do not damage lip of the oil seal or outside periphery.
