15. Separate the differential ring gear from the case.
1
CAUTION: Use a soft hammer to strike the punch.
Drive out the remaining rivet portions with a rounded type punch.
2
Separate the differential ring gear from the case.

CAUTION: Discard the anti-lock speed sensor ring if separating it from the case half.
If necessary, remove the anti-lock speed sensor ring and discard it.
16. CAUTION: Alkaline cleaning solutions will damage machine surfaces. Use only emulsion cleaners or petroleum based cleaning solvent.
CAUTION: Use soft, clean, lintless towels to dry the components.
CAUTION: Never spin-dry bearings with compressed air. This will damage the mating surfaces due to a lack of lubrication.
CAUTION: After drying, lightly coat the parts with rust inhibitor or clean lubricant to prevent damage from corrosion. Wrap all parts that are
going to be in storage for a prolonged period in wax paper.
NOTE: For Truetrac differentials, submerge the entire differential assembly in a suitable solvent to wash away contaminants from within the
housing.
Clean and dry the components.
17. Inspect the bearing surfaces for pitting, wear and overheating.
18. Inspect the following:
^
the differential case machine surfaces.
^
the differential ring gear mounting holes for deformities, such as egg shaping.
^
all surfaces for nicks and cracks.
