Rear Differential Component Disassembly Note
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Mazda CX-5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- If the rear differential component cannot be removed by hand, remove the rear differential component using the SSTs .
- Mark or otherwise distinguish between the removed left and right adjusting shims, spacers and side bearing outer races so that they are not mixed up at the time of reassembly.
