removing spider gears 7.25

ok pry that centre out

normally you would flex the case but a pry bar will ping it out along with its beraimgs and shims

stand center it in a vice with the bolt heads upwards

and undo the bolts that hold both parts of the centre together (not the bolts for the ring gear)

take off the top half bits will fall out

don't loose any little dowels that old the cross pin in place

pull off the spider gears and any cupped shim washers

whether its an open centre a cone centre or a clutch centre there is nothing much in there and its all pretty obvious once you see....

id normally try to keep my side gears and spider gears together...

side gears that have smashed spider gears will be marred by the incident so a complete set is a better bet.

Job done

possibly easier just to sell the whole centre with or without ring and pinion which again should be kept as a pair, preferably greased to stop the rust.
