be re-installed for any reason, there
will be no question whether the plug
is seized or cannot be removed.
STEP 4. Remove the 10 bolts
around the cover.
STEP 5. Carefully pry the cover
loose with a flat head screw driver,
being careful not to damage the
surface, and allow the oil to drain.
STEP 6. Using a dry lint free rag,
clean the accessible areas of the
axle housing and check internal components for visible excessive
wear or other problems.
STEP 7. Clean all gasket material
from the axle housing surface.
STEP 8. We recommend running a
3/8
”-16 tap through each threaded
cover hole on the axle housing to
ensure an accurate torque on all
bolts.
STEP 9. Install the supplied load
bolts in each boss from the inside
of the B&M Cast Aluminum
Cover until they bottom out.
STEP 10. Apply a bead of RTV
silicone gasket maker to the B&M
Cast Aluminum Cover. Run the
bead inside the bolt holes.
STEP 11. Install the B&M Cast
Aluminum Cover on the axle
housing using a supplied bolt and
washer at a bottom hole on the
cover so it can be used as a
guide.
STEP 12. Install the rest of the
supplied bolts and washers and
torque to 25 ft/lb in a crisscross
pattern.
STEP 13. Screw in the two load
bolts by hand until they touch the
bearing caps. Torque the load
bolts to 5 ft/lb max.
NOTE: Do not over torque the
load bolts as you run the risk of
distorting the bearing caps,
creating abnormal wear and
premature failure.
STEP 14. Apply a very small amount
of RTV on the threads of the load
bolts, and then install the two
supplied jam nuts onto the load
bolts. Torque the jam nuts to 5 ft/lb.
STEP 15. Install the supplied
magnetic 1/4” NPTF drain plug on
the B&M Cast Aluminum Cover
and tighten.

recommended gear oil using the

1/2”
NPT fill plug on the B&M Cast
Aluminum Cover and tighten.
STEP 18. Install and tighten any
other parts (e.g., sway bar,
panhard rod) if removed.
