Differential Carrier: Disassembly

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 43 other vehicles, including the 2003 Pontiac Montana, 2003 Pontiac Grand Prix, 2003 Pontiac Bonneville, 2003 Pontiac Aztek, and 2003 Oldsmobile Silhouette. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Using feeler gauge, measure differential carrier planetary pinion gear end play. End play should be .009-.025" (.23-.64 mm). See Figure. If end play is not as specified, repair differential carrier assembly as necessary.
    2. NOTE: Ensure pinion gears are installed in same direction as removed. If gears are installed upside down, noise may result due to change in wear pattern.
  2. Using screwdriver remove retaining ring from front differential carrier. See Figure. Remove planetary pinion gear pin, thrust washers, roller bearings, spacer and pinion gear. See Figure. Remove remaining planetary pinions in same manner. Remove differential carrier sun gear thrust bearing.
  3. Place final drive carrier components into oil pan to ensure roller bearings are not lost. Using drift pin and hammer remove differential pinion shaft retaining pin. See Figure. Remove differential pinion gear shaft, gears, pinion gear thrust washers, side gears and side gear thrust washers. See Figure.
