    Does any one have steps or a link on how to pull my rear diffs? I’m doing a gear change and would like to do it my self instead of taking it to a mechanic. Appreciate the help.

    Chances are that you'll find complete service and parts manuals on the manufacturers website. Pulling them is the easy part, that's just bull work.

    A manual will cover it. For most rears, it's pulling the axles, driveshaft, the bolts that hold it in and pull it out. Forward axles will have power divider air line that needs to come off as well.

    I looked up how to do my Jeep Wrangler on youtube and changed the gears in it. I'm sure someone has a video on it.

    Simple drain oil, remove drive lines, remove axles make sure you catch the oil in the hub so it doesn’t get everywhere on wheel, 15/16 wrench and socket usually and remove all housing bolts. Take a prybar to pop them out a bit and guide them on the way to the ground just make sure you watch yourself they are pretty #### heavy. The forklift them out. Installing them back in that’s a bit more complicated
