Install Differential carrier into
Axle Housing
Be careful when using cleaning solvents. Follow
the solvent manufacturer’s instructions for safe
use to prevent injury.
1. Clean the inside of axle housing and the mounting
surface where the carrier fastens. Use a cleaning
solvent and rags to remove dirt. Blow dry the
cleaned areas with air.
2. Inspect the axle housing for damage. Repair or
replace the axle housing.
3. Inspect for loose studs in the mounting surface of
the housing where the carrier fastens. Remove
and clean the studs that are loose.
4. Apply liquid adhesive to the threaded holes and
install the studs into axle housing. Tighten studs to
150 to 230 lb•ft (203 to 312 N•m).
5. Apply silicone gasket material to the mounting
surface of the housing where the carrier fastens.
6. Install the carrier into the axle housing. Use a
hydraulic roller jack or a lifting tool.
CAUTION : Do not install the carriers using a
hammer or mallet. A hammer or mallet will damage
the mounting flange of carrier and cause oil leaks.
7. Install nuts and washers in the four corner location
around the carrier and axle housng. Tighten the
fasteners hand tight at this time.
8. Carefully push the carrier into position. Tighten the
four fasteners two or three turns each in a pattern
opposite each other.
9. Repeat step 8 until the four fasteners are tightened
to the correct torque value. Tightening torque : 150
to 230 lb•ft (203 to 312 N•m).
10. Install the other fasteners and washers that hold
the carrier in the axle housing. Tighten fasteners
to a torque of 150 to 230 lb•ft (203 to 312 N•m).
11. Connect the driveline universal joint to the pinion
input yoke on the carrier.
