    2. Remove the 4 bolts, 2 bearing caps, 2 adjusting nuts and 2 bearings (outer race).

    3. A015BKWE01

      Remove the differential case from the differential carrier.

      Tech Tips

      Tag the 2 case bearing outer races to show the location for reassembly.

  15. REMOVE REAR DRIVE PINION FRONT TAPERED ROLLER BEARING


    1. A015BKZ

      Using a brass bar and hammer, tap out the bearing (outer race).

  18. INSPECT RUNOUT OF DIFFERENTIAL CASE

    Tech Tips

    If the ring gear runout is at the maximum or less (refer to the "Inspect Runout of Differential Ring Gear" procedure), this inspection is not necessary.
