I hear a huming noise on the rear end of the car and I was wondering if this could be the bearings on the end of the diferential or if it could be something else plase give me some advise and orientation on how to work on the diferential and how hard is it to pullout the bearings from the pinion and the end of the diferietial.

Since no one else has posted. There are bearings also just at the end of the Aale (outer axle bearings) that than likely you are hearing. The pinion also has a bearing. You can check the play in this bearing by removing the driveshaft and just seeing how much play is there by moving back and forth. Should be tight. Try and very carefully set the rear end up on jack stands. Run the car at a low rpm and see if someone can tell where the noise is coming from. I cant stress enough tho to be very careful crawling under running car. Be safe and get back to me what you find out. Curt
