4 Installing the Air Locker

12

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

bolt before inserting it.

NOTE : 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.

Assembling the Seal Housing




















Figure 5.


Make sure the grooves and airway of the seal housing are clean

and free from any contaminants (e.g. water, dirt, metal filings, etc.).

Inspect the seal housing O-rings (supplied) for dirt, damage or

other conditions which might cause leaks.

Generously lubricate the O-rings with oil prior to assembly, then

insert them into the grooves of the seal housing.

NOTE :

When assembling the O-rings, be careful not to leave
them twisted when seated in the grooves as this could
cause excessive wear and leakage.
