Except for the following standard values, inspection procedure is the same as GROUP 26, inspection before disassembly (Refer to ).

Use the wooden handle of a hammer to remove the differential case assembly, differential side shims and side bearings. note Keep the right and left side bearings and side bearing outer race separated, so that they do not become mixed during assembly.

Use the following special tools to pull out the side bearing inner race. Side bearing puller (MB990810) Differential rear support arbour (MB991407) note Attach the prongs of special tools to the inner race of the side bearing through the openings in the differential case.

1.Make mating marks to the differential case and the drive gear. 2.Loosen the drive gear attaching bolts in a diagonal sequence to remove the drive gear.

Drive out the lock pin with a punch.

Use special tool front hub and flange yoke holder (MB990767) to hold the companion flange, and then remove the companion flange self-locking nut.

1.Make mating marks to the drive pinion and companion flange. 2.Use special tool side bearing puller (MB990810) to pull out the companion flange.

Use special tool bearing remover (MD998801) to pull out the front bearing inner race.

Use special tool remover bar (MB990939) to remove the drive pinion front bearing outer race.

Use special tool remover bar (MB990939) to remove the drive pinion rear bearing outer race.
