11. Install differential gear holder to carrier to retain spur
gear (see Special Tools). Remove the nut, spacer, pin-
ion coupler, and shim from the pinion shaft (Fig. 19). Re-
move differential gear holder from carrier.
12.Position the housing assembly on a suitable press.
Place a 1/8 inch (3 mm) piece of steel or a screwdriver
blade under the edge of the spur gear. This will prevent
the spur gear from cocking and possibly cracking the
housing (Fig. 20).
When the pinion is close to being pressed completely
out of the bearing, reach under the housing and catch
the pinion in your hand to prevent any damage to the pin-
ion.
13.Removing the drive pinion releases the spur gear,
bearing spacer, and outer pinion bearing for removal
(Fig. 19 and 21).
14.Remove oil seal from housing (Fig. 19).
