11. Install differential gear holder to carrier to retain spur
gear (see Special Tools). Remove nut, washer, flange
coupler and seal from the pinion shaft (Fig. 31).
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. 32).
IMPORTANT: DO NOT allow the pinion shaft to drop
on the floor during removal as damage will result.
Carefully press drive pinion shaft from housing. 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 pinion.
13.Removing the drive pinion releases the spur gear
(Fig. 33).
14.Remove oil seal from housing. Then remove the
bearing shim, outer pinion bearing cone and bearing
spacer from the housing (Fig. 31).
