Answer No. 113

With the universal joint disconnected, remove the bolt in front end of radius rods and the cap screws 
which hold the drive shaft tube to the rear axle housing. Then remove the rear axle housing cap; also the 
bolts which hold the two halves of the differential housing together. With the differential exposed to

its correct position when reassembling, being sure to use new paper liners.
