Installation






INSTALLATION





1. Clean differential cover.
2. Apply a bead of orange Mopar(TM) Axle RTV Sealant (1) or equivalent to the cover (2).

CAUTION: If cover is not installed within 3 to 5 minutes, the cover must be cleaned and new RTV applied. Failure to follow these instructions will compromise adhesion quality.

3. Install cover and tighten bolts in a criss-cross pattern to 44 Nm (32 ft. lbs.).
4. Fill differential with lubricant to specifications.

CAUTION: Fill differential by volume only, not to the bottom of fill plug. Failure to follow these instructions will cause an over fill condition.

5. Install fill hole plug.
6. Install watts link bell crank bolt and tighten to 217 Nm (160 ft. lbs.).

NOTE: Bell crank bolt has a Loctite(R) patch, a new bolt should be used. If bolt is not available, clean bolt and apply Loctite(R) 242 to the threads.
