9. To remove the side gears and pinion mate gears, rotate the side gears. This
will allow the pinion mate gears to turn to the opening of the case
222). Remove the pinion mate gears and spherical washers behind the gears.
Inspect all differential components including the machined surfaces of the
case. If there is a gear damage, replace the entire gear set as damage to
1 gear will most likely damage other gears as well. If necessary, replace
the complete differential assembly.
