Drilling and Tapping the Bulkhead Port

An air line port must be drilled and tapped through the differential
housing to mount the bulkhead fitting into.

Mark a spot on the right hand side (opposite the ring gear) toward

the top of the differential housing that is in an area well clear of the
differential, the ring gear, and any other obstructions that could
snag the seal housing tube. (Fig.6.)

Cover the drive pinion area with a rag to protect it from metal filings.
Secure the differential housing to the work bench.
Drill an 11.2mm [7/16”] diameter hole through the differential

housing square to the outside surface. (Fig.7.)
