Differential Removal
 

Ok fellers. Need some help. I need to replace 2nd gear in my 126. I have the rear end completely apart, but for the life of me I cannot get the differential out of there. No matter what angle i come at it. Any tips on getting that thing out?

Hello, got to hold your tongue just right. ha ha The ring gear side comes out first.(verticle with a little tilt to 1 or 2 oclock) It helps if you have the big bearing off the left side. Mike

Ive had luck getting them out with a little fenagling and some choice words. It does help if you can get the bearing off

I tried the tongue and the choice words...neither seemed to do the trick. :)
In case i destroy the bearing trying to get it off, are they available aftermarket? I looked and couldn't find any left in stock at the usual places online.
