      Using SST, remove the front differential case front tapered roller bearing.

      SST
      09950-40011   ( 09951-04010, 09952-04010, 09953-04010, 09954-04010, 09954-04010, 09955-04061, 09957-04010, 09958-04011 )
      09950-60010   ( 09951-00270, 09951-00380, 09952-06010 )

      Tech Tips

      Set the claw of SST against the bearing inner race at the indented part of the differential case.

      Note

      When attaching SST to the front differential case front tapered roller bearing, the claws of SST cannot fully grasp the bearing and the bearing may be damaged. Therefore, the bearing cannot be reused.
