10-3. Differential Carrier Removal and Disassembly.

a.

Removal.

NOTE

To remove the differential carrier, both

wheel ends must be removed. (Refer to

para 9-4. )

(1)

Disconnect universal at pinion shaft.

(2)

Remove all but the top two carrier to housing capscrews and washers. Loosen two top

capscrews and leave in place to prevent carrier from falling.

(3)

Break carrier loose from axle housing with rawhide mallet.

(4)

Remove the two top capscrews and washers and work the carrier free. A small pinch bar

may be used to straighten the carrier in the housing bore, however, the end must be rounded to prevent

indenting the carrier flange. If carrier is being removed while the axle is installed on vehicle, a roller jack

may be used to facilitate removal of carrier, as shown in figure 10-11. Otherwise a sling and hoist

arrangement may be used.
