Differential and Crown Gear Assembly
To disassemble the differential and crown/ring gear assembly, you should use the
following procedure:
1. If the matching marks on the case halves of differential assembly are not visible,
mark each case half with a center punch and hammer. The purpose of these
marks is to match the plain half and flange half correctly when reassembling the
carrier.
Figure 8-72 - Disassemble the differential and crown gear.
2. Remove all hardware that holds the case halves together.
