exploded view 04 front diff

anyone have an exploded view off the front 4wd diff on an 04 ranger? Need to figure out how to get the carrier and gears out. Looks to be something on the passenger side that the axle shaft slides into that splined and goes into the carrier. Cant figure out how to get that out.

According to my shop manual:
  • 5. Remove the axle shaft using a jerking motion (shows passenger side).
  • 6. Using the special tool and a suitable impact slide hammer, remove the axle shaft oil seal (shows driver side).
  • 7. Using the special tool and a suitable impact slide hammer, remove the axle shaft bearing (shows driver side).
  • 8. Using the special tool and a suitable impact slide hammer, remove the axle shaft oil seal (shows passenger side).
  • 9. Using the special tool and a suitable impact slide hammer, remove the axle tube bearing (shows passenger side).
This section of the manual is 18 pages. PM me your email and I'll send you the pdf.

Reddog, could I also get a pdf of the front diff? I recently bought a 04 Edge 4x4 and am having noise problems from the front. In the morning the noise isn't bad but after about 7 miles of highway everything warms up and the low-pitch low-volume rattle starts. It turns into a squeak, squeak when slow driving. Changed DS bearing and did not help. Tires are new, brakes are almost new.
Removed front drive shaft and noise still there. Suspecting the bearings in the diff housing. I can feel some mechanical slop where the CV shaft on the PS goes into the housing. Did a diff oil check and oil level is about 1.5 inch below the plug.
