the Air Locker to prevent seizing.

cones (supplied with the Air Locker kit) onto one bearing journal of
the Air Locker (refer to Figure 8.) until the bearing seats firmly
against the bearing journal shoulder.

c Invert the Air Locker and press the other tapered roller bearing

cone onto the opposite bearing journal of the differential carrier until
the bearing seats firmly against the bearing journal shoulder.

original master shims (if any) on the outside of the
carrier bearings.
