^ J42173 Differential Holding Fixture
1. Position the differential case assembly onto the J42173.
2. Remove the ring gear bolts (2) and ring gear (1).
3. Discard the ring gear bolts (2).
4. Install the J42159 onto the differential side bearing right.
5. Remove the side bearing right from the differential using J42159, J42162, and a hydraulic press.
6. Remove the differential case bolts.
7. Separate the case halves, right and left.
