Differential Case: Service and Repair

Removal and Installation





1. Remove the output shafts (A) from the differential case assembly using the pry bars (B).





2. Remove the ten mounting bolts in a crisscross pattern in several steps, then remove the differential case assembly.





3. 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 oil.





4. Install the differential case assembly, then torque the 10 mounting bolts in a crisscross pattern in several steps.
