Disassemble the Gear Shift Mechanism
NOTE:
Disassembly may be tight because of
residual tension in the gear shift mechanism.
This is a normal occurrence.
1.
Uncouple the mechanism’s actuation line.
2.
Remove the nuts and washers from the gear
shift mechanism fasteners.
3.
Remove the gear shift mechanism.

4.
If there is a diaphragm installed, remove it
manually. If replacement is necessary,
separate the diaphragm from the retention
spring.

Remove the Carrier from the Axle
1.
Manually remove the gear shift mechanism
(in the opposite direction to the differential)
until it is in the low speed position (LS). This
operation tends to eliminate the interference
between the sun gear and the mouth of the
housing, helping to make the disassembly of
the differential easier.
2.
Remove the nuts and washers from the
differential fastening studs and screws.
3.
Disassemble the differential from the housing
using appropriate devices and a hydraulic jack.

NOTE:
You can use the bolts that secure the
carrier to remove the flange from the carrier,
if necessary. There are two threaded holes for
Model 220, and three threaded holes for
Models 230 and 240.
4.
To remove the carrier from the gasket, strike
it firmly with a plastic mallet, if necessary.
5.
Place the carrier in a repair stand.
