Spicer Carrier-To-Housing Joint Leak - Manual (Page 5)

Carrier Installation
1. Adjust the Transmission jack to start the carrier on the guide pins.
Note: The carrier may have moved forward when it was removed from the housing, the transmission jack
table should be readjusted to compensate for this movement.
2. Adjust the carrier so that it is just contacting all four of the housing studs.
Align Guide Pins Adjust Carrier to Studs
3. It is important that the carrier is at the same angle as the housing. Make sure that the carrier flange is just touching
each of the studs. Again the gap between the carrier flange and the housing ring should be the same all the way
around.
Same Gap Top-to-Bottom and Right-to-Left
Use the Studs to Check Carrier Alignment.
4. Rotate the input yoke to align the output side gear splines to the output shaft. Raise or lower the assembly until it
slides into place. If it dose not slide in easy, check the carrier to housing alignment. Right-to-left, top-to-bottom.
5.
Disconnect carrier adapter plate: For the forward and rear carriers remove the capscrews holding the adapter
plate. Apply loctite 277 to the threads of the original capscrews, reinstall and torque to 114 – 140 ft. lbs.
6. Install one of the new carrier fasteners to hold the carrier in place so you can remove the alignment studs.
7. Remove the alignment studs.
