3.8 Reinstalling the Bearing Caps
IMPORTANT:
The Air Locker master shim must be assembled between the
stepped side of the seal housing and the bearing cup.
NOT HAVING THE MASTER SHIM IN PLACE
HERE WILL CAUSE BEARING FAILURE.
c Using a soft instrument such as the wooden handle of a hammer,
bend the seal housing tube outward and away from the position of
the bearing cap. (Fig.20.)
Figure 20.
DANA30 IFS PICTURED
NOTE : The seal housing tube should lay as low in the seal
housing groove as possible.
c Install the bearing caps oriented as they were marked before they
were removed, and tighten the bearing cap bolts. It is not
necessary to torque them down at this time.
c Check that some clearance exists between the bearing cap and the
seal housing tube. If not, the bearing cap should be removed and
the tube re-bent for adequate clearance.
c Tighten all bearing cap bolts with a torque wrench to the torque
specified in your vehicle manufacturer’s service manual.
NOTE : Aluminum housings require a smaller torque amount
than a cast iron housing. Make sure you use the
correct torque for your vehicle.
