2

Disassemble the interaxle differential

AR35.30-B-0467A

3

Remove the bolts (2) and remove the cap (1)

4

Unlock the collar nut (3)

AR35.30-B-0432-05TA

5

Loosen the collar nut (3) and press the top of the drive pinion (13) to extract the intermediate gear (4)

The collar nut (3) should not be completely removed in order to protect the thread of the drive pinion (13).
Place the differential set case on a workshop press to extract the intermediate gear (4).

6

Remove the collar nut (3) and remove the intermediate gear (4)

The intermediate gear (4) is withdrawn through the opening of the axle cap.

7

Remove the drive pinion (13)

Install the collar nut (3) on the drive pinion (13) again in order to protect the thread and prevent it from falling during the pressing.

8

Remove the tapered roller bearing (11)
