Differential Housing Assembly Removal and Installation

Removal and Installation





1. Remove the six mounting bolts in a crisscross pattern in several steps, then remove the differential housing assembly (A) and oil seals (B).





2. Remove the dirt and oil from the sealing surfaces. Apply liquid gasket (P/N 08718-0001) to the sealing surface. Be sure to seal the entire circumference of the bolt holes to prevent oil leakage.

NOTE:
^ If 5 minutes have passed after applying liquid gasket, reapply it and assemble the housings.
^ Allow it to cure at least 20 minutes after assembly before filling the differential with fluid.





3. Install the differential housing assembly (A), then torque the six mounting bolts (B) in a crisscross pattern in several steps.
4. Install the oil seals.
