Rebuilding the Front and Rear Differential
The gears in the differential will wear over time. The same is true for the outdrives, driveshafts, and rear axles. We
suggest using a small rag or paper towel to lay out the parts you remove to make it easier to reassemble.
1. Remove the upper bumper mount screw.
2. Remove the four chassis screws (1). Loosen the chassis screws (2) enough to allow the bumper to slide out from
under the chassis plate. Note: If you are rebuilding the front differential, skip to Step 6.
3. Remove the four cover screws and remove the cover and remove both screws shown.
4. Remove both screws.
5. Remove both shock tower screws (1). Remove the lower shock mounting screws (2). Remove both differential
cover screws (3).
6. Using a small flat-head screwdriver, carefully pry and remove the differential case cover.
7. Remove the complete differential assembly.
