2. Inspect ring gear teeth and m achined surfaces.
Exam ine fit o f internal gears.
3. Inspect pinion cross-shaft.

R em oval and D isassem bly
1. R em ove differential as previously outlined.
2. C heck pinion bearing preload as described under
"Drive Pinion - Installation and Adjustm ent." If there is no
preload reading, check for looseness o f pinion assem bly by
shaking the com panion flange. L ooseness indicates the need
for bearing replacem ent.
3. Install H older J -8 6 1 4 -1 1 on flange by using tw o bolts
w ith flat washers, as show n in figure 5F. Position J -8 6 1 4 -1 1
on flange so that the four notches are toward the flange.
4. R em ove pinion nut and washer. D iscard pinion nut
and use a new one upon reassembly.
5. Thread end o f J-8614-3 into sm all O .D . end o f J-
8614-2. Then with J-8614-11 installed as in step 3, insert
J-8614-2 into J-8614-11 and turn it 1 /8 o f a turn to locked
position. R em ove flange by turning J-8614-3 while holding
J -8 6 14-22 as show n in figure 6F.
6. R em ove drive pinion from carrier. It m ay be
necessary to tap on the pinion w ith a soft faced hamm er.
7. W ith a long drift tap on inner race o f outer pinion
bearing , to rem ove pinion oil seal, slinger, gasket, outer
pinion cone and roller and shim pack. Tag shim pack for
reassembly.
8. Should inspection indicate necessity, pinion bearing
cups can be rem oved from carrier using a long drift and
ham m er. R em ove shim s and oil slinger which are located
behind the inner bearing cup. T ag shim s for reassembly.
9. R em ove rear pinion bearing using J-22912, and an
arbor press.
