Rear Differential Case Assembly Removal and Installation

Rear Differential Case Assembly Removal and Installation

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






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






3. Clean the dirt and oil from the mating surfaces. Apply liquid gasket, P/N 08718-0001 evenly to the mating surface of the differential case and the differential carrier. Install the component within 5 minutes of applying the liquid gasket.
NOTE:

- If you apply liquid gasket P/N 08718-0012, the component must be installed within 4 minutes.

- If too much time has passed after applying the liquid gasket, remove the old liquid gasket and residue, then reapply new liquid gasket.

- Allow it to cure at least 30 minutes after assembly before filling the differential with the recommended fluid.





4. Install the differential case (A) with the ten mounting bolts finger-tight.






5. Tighten the ten mounting bolts in a crisscross pattern in several steps.










6. Replace both clips (A) on the output shafts. Make sure the clips are installed in the output shaft grooves (B).






7. Install the output shafts (A) into the differential.
