Removing differential ring gear

[dingy]

How do I remove the ring gear from the differential bearing housing?

 

I need to adjust the backlash on the pinion gear. I have zero backlash as it is. This is an FJR rear end, but it is essentially the same as a 1st gen.

 

There is a shim under ring gear I need to replace, as well as changing the thrust washer which is accessible.

 

I have ring gear and bearing plate separated from main housing, does it need to be pressed out, or just lightly tapped out?

 

Parts breakdown shows no retainer clips.

You may find that they heated the ring and cooled the shaft and that my friend is a shrink fit.

 

Pressing it off is probably the only way to get it off but then there is the problem of getting it back on.

 

Hope you find the solution.

Put the shaft in the freezer & the ring gear in the oven to create needed clearances for re-assembly, after you get the other stuff done.
