DIFFERENTIAL REPLACEMENT DETAILS
|
|
Shot of axle bolts and spacers. Remove as described. Make sure you use a torx socket to avoid damage. | |
|
|
The driveshaft nuts face the rear of the car. You'll be forced to use an end wrench on them. | |
|
|
This is looking up at the back of the suspension carrier. The non-captive nut is inside the circular bushing. There is not enough clearance for a standard ratchet wrench, and you won't get purcahse with an end wrench. | |
|
|
Old diff out - it will get hung up on the driver's side suspension and the driveshaft. Just keep after it and you'll get it. | |
|
|
New diff going in. This is a worthless picture. However, when installing, MAKE SURE you engage the driveshaft FIRST, then work the rear of the diff in place. If you don't you will be really pissed when you discover you can't get the driveshaft on, and have to start all over... |
