Profiling the Seal Housing Tube

Without using sharp, jagged tools such as pliers (usually your

hands are the best tool for this job), bend the seal housing tube so
that it closely follows the profile of the differential housing and
protrudes through the bulkhead port in the differential housing.

(Fig. 13.)

Check that the contour of the tube will not interfere with the ring

gear, differential, or the cover plate.

Setting up the Bulkhead Fitting

Trim the seal housing tube that is extended outside the differential

housing to approximately 20-25mm [0.8-1.0”] of extension using an
automotive brake line tubing cutter.

NOTE :

Never use a hacksaw for trimming the steel tube as
this will leave metal fillings in the air system.

Apply thread sealant to the threads of the bulkhead body.
Screw the bulkhead body into the tapped hole, and tighten.
Wipe the area clean of any excess thread sealant (inside and

outside of the housing).
