3 Installing the Air Locker

11

Apply a thread locking compound to the thread of each ring gear

bolt before inserting it. Do not apply threading compound directly
into the threaded hole as this could prevent the bolt from reaching
its full depth.

Tighten the ring gear bolts in a star pattern with a torque wrench

according to your vehicle manufacturer’s specified torque.

3.2

Installing the Carrier Bearings

Apply a thin film of high pressure grease to the bearing journal of

the Air Locker.

Using a bearing press or arbor press, press one of the bearing

cones which was removed from the original differential onto the
bearing journal (refer to Figure 5.) until the bearing seats firmly
against the bearing journal shoulder.

Figure 5.

NOTE :

Never re-use any bearings which are damaged or
worn.
Do not bend or damage the seal housing tube.
