Recommendation: The gearbox weighs over 30 kg, so work should be done with an assistant or using an adjustable stand or lifting device.

Warning! Do not remove both drives at the same time, or, if necessary, install a special mandrel in place of one of them to prevent the axle gears from falling out of the differential box.
