    See step  1

  2. INSPECT FRONT DIFFERENTIAL SIDE GEAR THRUST AMOUNT 

    See step  2

  3. REMOVE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL PINION SHAFT STRAIGHT PIN 
    1. Secure the front differential case assembly with ring gear in a vise between aluminum plates.
      NOTE:

      Do not overtighten the vise.

      • SST: 09528-52010 
        1. 09528-05020
        2. 09953-05010
      NOTE:

      Do not overtighten SST as doing so will damage the front differential side gears, conical springs, front No. 1 differential side gear thrust washers and front differential case assembly with ring gear.

      HINT: 

      • Tighten SST to create the necessary clearance to remove the front differential pinions.
      • When removing the front differential pinions, do not overtighten SST, as it is necessary to rotate the front differential side gears.
    2. Install SST as shown in the illustration and rotate the front differential side gear to remove the 2 front differential pinions and 2 front differential pinion thrust washers from the front differential case assembly with ring gear.

  • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
