Clam shell kit I picked up on Amazon for about $200 taxes and shipping in. The black clam shell fits the differential side bearings and the yellow clam shell fits the pinion rear bearing. There are no instructions with the kit so if you are a novice like me you need to watch a couple of Utubes on differential side bearing removal to see how it works. One hint is that you have to have the bearing cups in place before trying to remove the bearings other wise the clam shell just pulls of the bearing cage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this shot the housing screws have been removed and I have marked the pinion shafts to be sure and get them back were they were originally. I’ve marked the top of the case, but I should have marked the bottom also.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Half the case removed revealing the plate and discs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plates are showing significant wear in some spots so I’ll replace them with a new set. The set on one side includes three plates and two discs. The inner plate is concave. I’ll replace the old set with a new set in exactly the same order and per the shop manual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carrier all back together with bolts tightened to 50 ft-lbs. <\/p>\n\n\n

I inserted a flanged axle axle into both ends to align the spider side gear and the clutch friction plates to simplify the axle insertion later on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next: time to get the carrier and the pinion in the 44 pot. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
