1. Support working base in a vise, and attach differential carrier to working base.
2. Remove differential cover and vent plug.
3. Using two hammer shafts or equivalent, slowly and carefully pry differential case assembly out of gear carrier.
CAUTION: Ensure side bearing outer race is not dropped when removing differential case assembly. Keep right and left side bearings separate, so that they do not become mixed at time of reassembly.
