How to remove gear

Hi guys anyone know how to remove this part from diff i’m puzzled

There is a grub screw on the side of the differential case. Take the screw out and you can slip a thin Allen key into the hole and remove the gear by prying it up towards the open end of the case. Once you do that there is going to be a dowel rod running through the output shaft. Use the Allen key through the hole in the differential case to press the dowel rod out of the shaft and then the output shaft will drop out.

Pay attention to the locations and types of any shims that are on that output shaft. They will be critical when you reassemble the differential.

I use needlenose pliers to pull the gear out.

You know I didn't think of that. Would've been easier. Lol

Tweezers and pull up from beneath it. It just sits in there.

How do you get the new diff back in the housing mine doesn't seem to fit

You just gotta finesse it. When I switched my diff cases to the aluminum along with the aluminum bulkheads it was a tight fit. The beauty of aluminum is you can heat it in the right places. I heated the bulkhead and got my diffs in that way. If you are still using the composite bulkheads you could try loosening the bottom mounting screws to let the bulkheads shift while you install the diff. The shifting should allow some flexing.

I managed to finally get there it was a nightmare. With slight tap i managed to ease it in. Hopefully don't have to change again in a hurry

Did you manage to get both shims behind each satellite gear. I went with the one as it seemed better

Yes I got both shims in. And I re-used the shim on the spur gear side of the diff before re-installing into the bulkhead.
