Differential Housing Assembly Removal and Installation

Differential Housing Assembly 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 or 08718-0002) to the sealing surface. Make sure you seal the entire circumference of the bolt holes to prevent oil leakage.

NOTE:
^ Do not install the components if too much time has passed after applying the liquid gasket (for P/N 08718-0002, no more than 4 minutes, for all others, no more than 5 minutes). Instead, remove the old residue, and reapply the liquid gasket.
^ Allow it to cure at least 30 minutes after assembly before filling the differential with the recommended 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.
