To remove and install components in the front differential for 4WD systems, follow these steps: Remove the bolts securing the axle tube to the differential carrier and the nuts attaching the tube to its support bracket. Carefully remove the output shaft tube, ensuring no components fall out. Mount the tube in a vise and remove the internal components. Measure and remove the axleshaft bearing using a slide hammer and bearing remover attachment. For installation, install the bearing to the original depth using a bearing driver or socket, then install a new seal and deflector, lubricating the seal lips with grease. Carefully drive in the axleshaft, followed by the internal components. Apply RTV sealant to the tube-to-differential housing mating surface, and install the tube assembly, tightening bolts and nuts to specified torques. Reinstall the driveaxle, front axle shift motor, and fill the differential with lubricant.

Install the wheel speed sensor, brake disc, caliper mounting bracket, and caliper.

After removing the hub assembly, the oil seal should be discarded.

Install the bearing with the square shoulder facing in, using a bearing driver or a socket with an outside diameter slightly smaller than that of the bearing.

The hub assembly should be placed on the axle tube during installation.

1. Loosen the wheel lug nuts. 2. Raise the vehicle. 3. Place it securely on jackstands. 4. Remove the left front wheel. 5. Remove the differential carrier splash shield from under the front axle. 6. Remove the left driveaxle. 7. Drain the lubricant from the front differential. 8. Pull the left axle shaft out with a slide hammer and adapter. 9. Remove the deflector and seal from the differential. 10. Remove the bearing using a slide hammer and bearing remover attachment.

After removing the axleshaft and rear wheels, the brake disc and retaining ring/key should be removed from the end of the axle housing.

After removing the old bearing, the recess should be cleaned out.

After removing the axleshaft and rear wheels, the brake disc and retaining ring/key should be removed from the end of the axle housing.

The bearings should be adjusted by tightening the adjusting nut to 50 ft-lbs, then backing it off and tightening it hand-tight.

After removing the old bearing, the recess should be cleaned out.

Install the wheel, lower the vehicle, and tighten the lug nuts to the torque specifications.

To remove and install components in the front differential for AWD systems, follow these steps: Remove the stabilizer bar link and, if applicable, the front shock absorber. Unbolt the right driveaxle from the axleshaft flange, supporting it properly. Support the differential carrier with a floor jack and a block of wood. Remove nuts attaching the axle shaft to its support bracket and the bolts securing the axle shaft flange to the differential carrier. Use a brass punch and hammer to separate the axle shaft from the differential case side gear. Remove the inner axle shaft assembly and axle shaft. Replace the inner seal and bearing with a special tool, then apply RTV sealant to the differential sealing surface and install the inner axle shaft housing assembly. Install the axle shaft to the support bracket and align the splines with the differential side gear. Tap the axle shaft with a mallet until the ring (clip) aligns with the groove in the differential case side gear. Install the axle shaft to the inner flange and tighten the bolts. Reinstall the stabilizer link, fill the differential with lubricant, install the differential carrier splash shield, and finally, install the wheel and lug nuts. Lower the vehicle, tighten the lug nuts, and check for proper operation.

1. Install the bearing with the square shoulder facing in, using a bearing driver or a socket with an outside diameter slightly smaller than that of the bearing. 2. Install a new seal and deflector, lubricating the lips of the seal with multi-purpose grease. 3. Carefully drive in the axle shaft with a soft-face hammer. 4. Fill the differential with the proper lubricant. 5. Install the driveaxle and differential carrier splash shield. 6. Install the wheel and lug nuts. 7. Lower the vehicle. 8. Tighten the lug nuts to the proper torque specifications. 9. Check for proper operation.

After discarding the oil seal, all components should be cleaned and inspected for wear or damage.

It should be ensured that the new bearing is tapped in fully.

Before reinstalling the axleshaft and lowering the vehicle, it should be ensured that there is no play in the hub assembly.

Remove the hub retaining bolts from the steering knuckle and remove the disc shield.

Remove the hub cover and unscrew the driveaxle/hub nut with a socket and large breaker bar.
