REAR DIFFERENTIAL AND AXLE SHAFT INSTALLATION
1.
Clean and lubricate the seals on each side of the differential with appropriate oil.
Schedule, Section 10, Page 10-4.
2.
Clean both axle shafts, particularly the splined ends. Avoiding damage caused by dragging splines across lip of
seal, carefully insert shafts into the differential.
See following NOTE.
NOTE:
It may be necessary to rotate each shaft slightly to engage the splines in the differential housing.
3.
Clean mating surfaces on both axle tube flanges and each side of the differential. Also clean the threads of the
six axle tube mounting holes on each side of the differential. Apply Loctite 2760 to new flange-head bolts.
See following CAUTION.
CAUTION
• Clean each thread location with a thread tap (M12 x 1.75 pitch) before installing new bolts. Apply
Loctite 2760 Threadlocker to the bolt threads.
4.
Apply a 3/16-inch wide bead of Three Bond No. 1215 (CC P/N 101928701) to the mating surfaces on each
side of the differential.
5.
Secure the axle tubes to the differential housing with flange-head bolts and flat washers. Use a crisscross
pattern to tighten the hardware to 100 ft-lb (136 N·m).
6.
Install the rear brake rotors and calipers. Finger-tighten the nut onto axle shaft.
Installation, Section 6, Page 6-16.
7.
Install the rear axle.
See Rear Axle Installation on page 17-9 or Rear Axle Installation on page 17-12.
8.
Add lubricant to the differential.
See Periodic Maintenance, Section 10, Page 10-1.
REAR WHEEL BEARINGS
The axle tubes must be unbolted from the differential to access the axle shafts and wheel bearings. The hub seals are
incorporated into the bearings.
