What's wrong with my TRACTOR!
What happens here
Using the same DeWalt impact driver and socket, remove all the bolts that secure the outer section of the differential housing. Due to potential seizing, some bolts may require a breaker bar to initially loosen them before using the impact driver. With all bolts removed, use a dead blow hammer to carefully tap the outer section of the housing, separating it from the rest of the differential. As the section comes apart, small metal pieces, identified as rollers from a failed bearing, fall out, confirming a severe internal failure.
Goal: Remove the outer section of the differential to access internal components.
