REAR DIFFERENTIAL DISASSEMBLY 

1. Disassemble in the order indicated in the table. 

WARNING:

The engine stand is equipped with a self-lock mechanism, however, 
if the rear differential is in a tilted condition, the self-lock mechanism 
could become inoperative. If the rear differential unexpectedly 
rotates it could cause injury, therefore do not maintain the rear 
differential in a tilted condition. When turning the rear differential, 
grasp the rotation handle firmly.
