Installation Instruction and Torque Requirements for Bolt-On Housing Cover
Fasteners – Series D190/S190/D590
Shown below are torque specifications and installation procedure for the Bolt-On Housing cover
hardware parts included in this kit.
Fastener Installation Instructions:
1. Before installing new fastener hardware or the cover assembly, the axle housing should be visually inspected for
cracks, nicks or burrs on all machined surfaces. Clean the threaded boltholes in the axle housing, removing any paint,
old sealant or oil from the housing and cover mounting surfaces. Studs need to be replaced only if the stud came out
with the nut at the time of disassembly.
2. Apply a 1/8” bead of approved RTV sealant to the housing surface; it’s important to apply the sealant around (make a
loop) all of the threaded boltholes. Reinstall the rear cover assembly.
3. Install new fasteners supplied in kit.
4. Torque the capscrew or nut to the correct specification listed in the chart below. If installing studs be sure to install
them to the proper specification outlined below.
Installation Instructions: Cover-to-Housing Studs
Install carrier-to-housing studs into housing until the exposed height is 38 mm (1.5”) above the housing ring.
Important!
Dana does not recommend mixing old and new carrier fasteners on the same carrier. If reusing old fasteners, use
Loctite® 277 or 271 (which is red in color) on the threads of the old fastener and torque to correct specification. Final torque
values of hardware fasteners must be measured using a calibrated torque wrench.
