Need help! How difficult is it to replace rear diff on 2010 E350 4Matic? Can't find any videos on youtube, but it looks as if it's not too bad of a job.
It looks like with the removal of the two top links and the bottom link from the carrier, then tilt the carrier down, the axles should have enough clearance to slide out of the diff.
Anyone done this before?
I take one side of the rear suspension apart enough to remove that axle. Usually all of the arms off the knuckle except for the spring arm. That’ll give you enough room to get the axle out of the hub then knock it out of the rear diff.
Once one side is out you can loosen the other from the diff and lower the diff and tilt on the way down.
And when all done with the DIFF.... make sure you do a proper pre-tension at car normal ride height ( tires on ground ), for all the arm's bushings which were loosened during this job.
