If you have a locking rear differential and are not a professional, don't do it without first reading the GM service procedure as provided by SI. I believe all 97 suburbans use a locking rear differential. This requires a minimum of three hours.

If it's an open diff:

Pop the cap off, then rotate the carrier until the bolt is visible.

Remove the bolt, then the pin. Hold the driveshaft still and rotate one rear wheel until a spider gear pops out. Reverse direction of rotation to pop out the other spider gear.

We're talking about rear differential parts and not front, right? Or is this something to do with a central sequential fuel injection setup?
