PD-12

2. Remove extension tube and differential side shaft assembly.
3. Remove differential side flange.
4. Mark side retainers for identification. Remove side retainers.
Be careful not to confuse right and left side retainers and
shims.
5. Extract differential case from final drive housing.
6. Remove side outer races.
Tool number:
ST33290001
Be careful to keep the side bearing outer races together with
their respective inner cones Ð do not mix them up.
7. Remove side oil seal.

Be careful not to confuse the right and left hand parts.
2. Loosen ring gear bolts in a criss-cross fashion.
3. Tap ring gear off differential case with a soft hammer.
Tap evenly all around to keep ring gear from binding.
4. Separate L.H. and R.H. differential cases.
Put match marks on both L.H. and R.H. differential cases.

Ring Gear and Drive Pinion
Check gear teeth for scoring, cracking or chipping.
If any damaged part is evident, replace ring gear and drive pinion
as a set (hypoid gear set).
Differential Case Assembly
Check mating surfaces of differential case, side gears, pinion mate
gears, pinion mate shaft and thrust washers.
Bearing
1. Thoroughly clean bearing.
2. Check bearings for wear, scratches, pitting or flaking.
Check tapered roller bearing for smooth rotation. If damaged,
replace outer race and inner cone as a set.
