Problem: when turning tractor in sharp turns heard thumping noise from front axle differential and put it on work bench. By turning the shaft axles there is some play lengthwise (so towards shaft axles) in the carrier. The differential is a fixed unit with no adjustment ( that's why you buy a whole unit). In the differential there are 4 screws. When removing these screws the thumping noise goes away((?). Now we would like to machine a shim, but how do we pull this differential apart? We think the only option to get to this is, is to remove the seal from the driveshaft, remove the ring gear and then hopefully we can access the differential and pull this apart. Is there anybody that has been pulling the differential apart and how did you do this? Any advise would be very helpful!
Thank you!
