installation
1. Position slider on axle, this is a very tight interference fit designed to allow the slider to spread the
impact load across the differential, not concentrate it to one location. So it may be necessary to force
the slider into location. This can be done using a jack, or a dead blow hammer. DO NOT LET GO OF
SLIDER until at least one U-Bolt is installed and finger tight, or the slider may fall off axle.
2. Install all three U-Bolts with nuts/washers loosely
3. Snug all nuts
4. Torque all nuts. 3/8” nuts to 15 ft. pounds. 1/2” nuts to 40 ft. pounds. Once tightened, ensure that
the slider is tight to the axle tube with no gaps.
