5. Using a lever, release the drive shaft from the differential by rotating the steering knuckle assembly outward - be careful not to damage the shield.
6. Using a pry bar, remove the seal (14a) from its seat in the differential housing and, using a suitable mandrel (094), install a new one in its place, having first lubricated its lips with universal hypoid oil SAE 85 W-90.
7. Further assembly is carried out in the reverse order of dismantling the components - do not forget to replace the retaining ring of the drive shaft in the differential, and finally check the differential for signs of developing leaks.
