Remove the differential side retainers using the ST.
NOTE:
- When the wrench COMPL retainer interferes with the converter case, align the cutout portion with the interference part.
- Support the differential case by hand while being careful not to damage the attachment section of the differential side retainer.
- Keep the left and right differential side retainers and left and right side bearing outer races by attaching tags or in similar ways.
