3 Installing the Air Locker
NOTE : Make sure any grinding dust, filings or drill chips left
behind by cutting the drainage slots is completely
cleaned out of the housing.
Check that the axle air vents are clear and working correctly.
3.2 Approximate Backlash Shimming
In order to reproduce a similar pre-load and ring and pinion backlash
in your Air Locker to that of your original differential, measurements
need to be taken so that a shim thickness can be calculated.
Secure the original differential to a work bench.
Remove the bolts that hold the ring gear in place.
Using a plastic or copper hammer, tap in a circle around the ring
gear to separate it from the differential carrier.
Figure 5.
Assemble the original bearing cup onto the cone of the right-hand
side of the original differential carrier.
