3.1

Installing the Carrier Bearings

If the tapered roller bearings from the original differential carrier are

to be reused, then remove them with an automotive bearing puller
and inspect them for damage and/or wear and replace them if
necessary.

Apply a thin film of high pressure grease to both bearing journals of

the Air Locker to prevent seizing.

Using a bearing press or arbor press, press one of the bearing

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

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.
