2. Put the splined tooling in the gear (Figure 55). To teardown and rebuild the Trac-Lok differential
case, some special tooling will be required. (Figure
57) This includes:
■ An OTC splined holder;
■ Miller Special Tool Trac-Lok tool set; and
■ Drift punch.
NOTE: You will need a 500 ft. lb. torque wrench.
Put the torque wrench in the splined tooling and
pull the torque wrench slowly to exercise the case
in one direction. After pulling the case five times,
a reading can be taken.
3. Pull the torque wrench slowly, looking at the
indicator. Check the reading a couple of times
to be sure it is accurate (Figure 56).
NOTE: Remember that if the assembly was full of
metal shavings and contamination, so is the
differential case. If all new parts are installed in
the rebuilt axle, all new parts should be used
when rebuilding the Trac-Lok.
4. Put the spline holder tool in a vise. (Figure 58)
Set the case on the splined shaft, being careful
to align the splines while slipping the case over
the shaft.
