REAR DIFFERENTIAL AND AXLE SHAFTS
REAR DIFFERENTIAL AND AXLE SHAFT REMOVAL
See General Warnings, Section 1, Page 1-2.
The rear axle assembly has two axle shafts. The driver side shaft is longer than the passenger side. The axle tubes
must be unbolted from the differential to access the axle shafts. If only a tube or shaft is to be replaced, it can be done
one side at a time without removing the entire rear axle.

Clean debris from drain plug and area around it at the bottom of the differential. Place a large pan under the
differential and remove drain plug to empty housng. Install plug after draining.
2.
Remove the rubber dust cap (1) and cotter pin (2) from end of axle shaft (3). Discard cotter pin. Loosen the nut
(4) on the axle shaft

CAUTION
• The differential and axle tubes have been assembled with Loctite 2760 Threadlocker compound. Use
a non-flammable heat source to heat the flange area and bolts during the removal and replacement
of each of the six bolts. Once removed, the manufacturer recommends that each thread location be
tapped with the same thread (M12 x 1.75 pitch) before new bolts are installed.
