11. Remove the differential:
• Lift out the axle retainer (Figure 7) on either side of
the differential, then pull the axles out slightly. Use a
magnet to remove the axle c-rings (Figure 8) and
continue to pull out the axles until they clear the dif-
ferential.
• Lift the differential assembly out (Figure 9).
Disassemble the gears and examine for any signs of
damage or excessive wear. Note that not all the
parts are serviced individually. Refer to current parts
information for details.
• Do not disassemble the small pinion assemblies for
any reason. They are not serviceable and the friction
or torque settings are factory established. Tampering
with these will adversely affect the automatic con-
trolled traction performance.
• Remove the bushings from the housing. Inspect for
wear. Note the orientation of the bushings and that
both are the same.
