Jeep LJ one ton Build Series, 14 Bolt Tear Down
What happens here
Using an impact wrench, remove all the 13mm bolts that secure the differential cover to the axle housing. Once all bolts are removed, carefully pry off the differential cover. Be prepared for old gear oil and possibly water to spill out, as the presenter found significant rust and liquid inside. After the cover is off, inspect the rusty differential gears and the overall condition of the internals. The next step will be to remove the carrier assembly.
Goal: Access the internal components of the differential.
