Removal Procedure
Important: This procedure is for front-wheel-drive vehicles ONLY. The final drive for all-wheel-drive vehicles is part of the transfer case which
MUST be serviced with the transmission removed from the vehicle.
1. Remove the case extension housing.
2. Rotate the differential carrier until the end of the output shaft can be seen and the differential pinion shaft (701) is in a horizontal position.
3. Place the J 42562 between the end of the output shaft and the differential pinion shaft.
4. Using a hammer, hit the end of the axle removal tool in order to compress the output shaft compression ring (512) and push the output shaft
through the differential side gear.
