6. Remove the differential pinion shaft.

^

The pinion shaft is a slip-fit design and is removable by hand.

7. Push the flanged end of the axle shaft toward the center of the axle and remove the U-washer.

8. CAUTION:  Do not damage the wheel bearing oil seal when removing the axle shaft.

CAUTION:  Do not rotate the differential side gears when removing the axle shaft. Rotating the differential side gears causes the
differential pinion gears and differential pinion thrust washers to turn to the differential case opening and fall out of the differential case
.

Remove the axle shaft.

9. CAUTION:  Install the differential pinion shaft and the old lock screw (finger-tight) to prevent the differential side gears and differential

pinion gears from rotating and falling out of the differential case.
