Disassembly Procedure
1. Perform the following inspection:

CAUTION:
- If there is no malfunction based on the results of the inspection, it not necessary to disassemble the ring gear and differential.
- Visual inspection of parts (See VISUAL INSPECTION OF PARTS)
- Ring gear and differential inspection (See RING GEAR AND DIFFERENTIAL INSPECTION)
- If there is a malfunction, disassemble the ring gear and differential and replace the malfunctioning part with a new part.

2. Remove the taper roller bearing (transaxle case side) using the following procedure:






1. Secure the ring gear and differential in a vise.

A : Vise

CAUTION: Insert a protective plate between the vise and the part so as not to damage the part.











2. Remove the taper roller bearing (transaxle case side) using the SST.
