HELP Stuck Diff
« on: December 07, 2005, 02:44:32 PM »
 ??? OK, this if my first time removing a diff, and this has got me compleatly stumped. I'm trying to remove the rear third member from my 92 kick 5 speed, to install in my 95 auto. Better gearing you know.  I'm going to swap the whole front, case and all, but to save time and work I was only going to swap the rear third w/ ring and pinon. All the bolts are out, axles are out, But I can't for the life of me get the damn thing out!!!  Is there some hidden bolt or some special order I need to follow? Thanks much.

BFH.....the diff is fitted using sealer rather than a gasket and the diff sticks to the casing....give it a few licks with a hammer and it should come free..............

Some times they are  pretty hard get to move, try jacking under the front of the third a little to see if that breaks the sealant and then it should come out, otherwise you can get a screwdriver or small chisel between the third and housing to get it started but that tends to mark the surfaces up alittle.

HTH.  

PS I'm presuming you have the top A link removed ?  ;D

 :D I used the biggist FH in my inventory, not a budge. Tried the chisel bit too. Before I could get back to check my post, my buddy stopped by, and he suggested the jack on the front trick. It worked, but I thought He was just another crazy Jeeper trying to break my Zuk. Thanks Guys for the suggestions. These things don't come apart as easy as Harley's. I guess I need to be a bit less delicate!

try a search for "third and member and removal" (no quotes) at Ack's FAQ.

There is a picture at the end of the post showing how to easily remove the third member.

OOPS!  Too late!  You figured it out. ;D

Look again for a missing bolt.
Don't laugh

Top Middle bolt behind the third link mount.
It's kind've down in a hole.
