5. Clean the mount plate and mating bearing sur-
faces with parts cleaner. Assure both surfaces to 
be free of dirt and oil.
6. Apply primer N (spray or brush) to the bearing 
holder surface and allow the solvent to evaporate 
completely - approximately one or two minutes. 
Spraying only one surface with Primer N will delay 
activating the gasket eliminator until the two joint 
surfaces are assembled, thus allowing for addi-
tional assembly time and flexibility. Refer to the 
Drive Unit parts page for primer and gasket elimi-
nator part numbers.
7. Refer to Figure 16178-01. Apply gasket eliminator, 
061004-030 (50 ml) to the mount plate surface in 
a continuous bead (10), distributed around all bolt 
holes. Once applied, the bead or pattern should 
not be disturbed until assembly to assure proper 
seal.
Immediate assembly not required as long as sealant 
has not been activated by the primer; however avoid 
assembly delays longer than 45 minutes.
8. Guide sun pinion into the planet idler so gears 
mesh as gearbox subassembly is moved into 
place. Assemble mating gearbox assembly 
squarely (without lateral movement) to assure an 
even spread of the sealant across the interface.
9. Assemble with the nine socket head cap screws 
(31). Refer to Figure 15454-02.
– Apply primer T (spray or brush) to both fastener 
and hole threads, and allow solvent to evapo-
rate completely - approximately one or two 
minutes. Apply thread locking adhesive onto 
fastener threads as well as down the sides of 
the female threads. Refer to Drive Unit parts 
page for primer and thread locking adhesive 
part numbers.
– Install the fasteners and torque in specified 
cross-torque pattern as shown in Figure 
16178-01. Torque screws to 75 ± 4 Nm (55 ± 
3ftlb).
10. Allow sufficient cure time with parts undisturbed - 
approximately 4 hours.
11. Fill drive unit with synthetic 75W/90 gear oil, 
363514-001. Refer to Drive Unit Lubrication in this 
chapter.
12. Install the drive tire. Refer to Drive Tire Replace-
ment in this chapter.
13. Connect all electrical connections to drive motor.
14. Raise the truck and remove the blocking material 
from under the truck and lower to the floor.
15. Connect the battery.
16. Verify truck is operational.
