2. REMOVE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL RING GEAR





(a) Place matchmarks on the front differential ring gear and the front differential case.

(b) Remove the 8 bolts.

(c) Using a plastic hammer, remove the front differential ring gear from the front differential case.





3. INSPECT FRONT DIFFERENTIAL SIDE GEAR BACKLASH
