17. Extract the companion flange with a puller.

18. Press the end of drive pinion shaft using ST and remove the rear bearing cone, pinion height adjusting washer, preload adjusting spacer and washer.

NOTE:

Hold the drive pinion so as not to drop it.

19. Remove the rear bearing cone from drive pinion by supporting the bearing cone with ST.

NOTE:

Place the remover so that its center-recessed side faces the bearing cone.

20. Remove the front oil seal from differential carrier using ST.

21. Remove the pilot bearing together with the front bearing cone and spacer using the ST.

22. When replacing the bearings, tap out the front bearing race and rear bearing race in this order using a brass bar to remove them.
