I am trying to get these lock-rings off, but just can't figure it out.
I see that they rotate.
The 3 pins stop their rotation.
The pins do press inwards.
I surmise that you push in the pins and twist.. But HOW. Pushing in all 3 pins AND twisting at once has me baffled.
Please help.

Re: Removal of dif-lock retaining
Grow four arms and hands - three to push the pins and one to pull - alternatively get a few people to help. Lots of lubricatant is needed.
NOTE - the collar does not twist it pulls up, so push the buttons in an pull the collar up - no twist.
I posted up the same query a couple of years back as part of a much longer thread - the following is an extract of the discussion.

On the cab area - I need to replace the rubber on the front diff lock lever but do not know how to get the metal collar off - see this pic
So any tips on moving that metal collar would be helpful - looks as if it should turn but mine does not.

Hi Garry. the metal collar has 3 little buttons ,1 on each side,press these in then the collar will prise up.

Thanks Dave - I would never have picked them as buttons. I will go out now and try them.

Well got the old rubber out - lost one of the little buttons down the hole but thankfully the gods smiled and I was able to find it amongst the rubbish underneath.
All went together with a new rubber OK

So you can see - if I can do it, anyone can do it - and I did it by myself.
