Disassembly

1. Using special tools, remove the differential bearings.

2. Remove the differential pinions and ring gear.

1. Rotate the differential pinions approximately 90 degrees in the differential case and remove them.
2. Remove the spring ring and discard it as no longer needed, using a suitable punch, remove the pin.
Remove the two differential pinions and plastic thrust pieces.

3. Disconnect the ring gear from the differential case.

NOTE: Do not lubricate the differential bearing.

Before assembly, thoroughly clean and inspect all components and apply clean manual transmission fluid to them.

2.

NOTE: Install a new ring gear and differential pinion snap ring.

Install the differential ring gear and pinions.

1. Using old bolts, carefully connect the ring gear to the differential case.
Install the two differential pinions and plastic thrust pieces.
2. Using a suitable drift, install the pin and snap ring.
3. Install the differential pinions and rotate them 90 degrees in the differential case.

NOTE: Install new ring gear mounting bolts.

NOTE: Do not lean on the lower differential bearing.

Using the special tools, tighten the ring gear and install the differential bearings.

1. Install new ring gear mounting bolts and tighten the bolts using a crisscross pattern.
2. Install the vehicle speed sensor (VSS) ring.
