DIFFERENTIAL FRONT COVER
DISASSEMBLY
NOTE
The drive shaft yoke nut and special washer
(see Figures 4C-1 and 4C-2) will have been
removed during removal of the differential from
the vehicle.
1. Re-install the driveshaft yoke nut and special
washer on the input shaft to protect the shaft
threads during the following procedure.
2. Remove the cover retaining screws as shown in
Figure 4I-6 and the shift cable bracket screws
(see Figure 4I-5).
NOTE
Steps 3 and 4 below are necessary because the
front cover can not be pried from the differential
housing by a screwdriver or other metal object
which would damage the machined surfaces of
the differential housing.
3. Re-install the shift cable mounting bracket using
one of the 3/8-16 x 2.75 inches long screws in the
threaded front cover holes as shown in Figure 4I-7.
4. Use a curved bar to pry under the shift cable
bracket and against the input shaft to “bump” the
input shaft bearing from the shaft as shown in
Figure 4I-7.
NOTE
Pressure must be held on the end of the input
shaft to hold the shaft rearward in the case. This
will prevent the shaft and rear bearing from com-
ing forward out of the case bore.
5. Remove the cover assembly from the housing.
Remove the screw installed in Step 3 above and
cable bracket from the cover.
6. Remove the input shaft bearing retaining ring as
shown in Figure 4I-6.
7. Support the front cover on wood blocks. Use a
large drift against the inner race of the input shaft
bearing. Drive the bearing out of the bore. Be
careful not to drive on the vent baffle.
8. Support the cover on wood blocks. Use a large
diameter drift to drive out the oil seal from the rear
side. The shaft oil seal is retained with Loctite 290
adhesive.
9. Thoroughly clean the front cover and differential
housing machined surfaces of all gasket material.
Wash all parts in approved cleaning solvent and
air dry. Inspect the input shaft bearing for cracked
or chipped races, worn or scored balls. Replace
the bearing if damaged.
