- Remove the drain plug and sealing washer and drain the rear differential fluid.
- Remove the No. 1 propeller shaft protector.
- Disconnect the propeller shaft from the rear differential:
- Make a reference mark across the No. 2 propeller shaft and the rear differential companion flange.
- Remove the propeller shaft flange bolts.
- Separate the propeller shaft from the rear differential.
- Tie off the propeller shaft with an appropriate size nylon strap.
- Support the rear differential with a jack, then remove the bolts and drop the differential about 10 mm.
- Disconnect the breather hose from the pump motor breather pipe, then remove the harness bracket.
- Disconnect the rear differential pump motor connector.
- Remove the rear differential pump motor and the O-ring.
- Remove the connector cover.
- Disconnect the EPDS connector, then remove the solenoid connector.
