Setting up the Bulkhead Fitting
c 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. 
c Apply thread sealant to the threads of the bulkhead body. 
c Screw the bulkhead body into the tapped hole, and tighten. 
c Wipe the area clean of any excess thread sealant (inside and 
outside of the housing).
c From the outside of the housing, assemble the small O-ring over
the top of the short length of seal housing tube protruding through 
the bulkhead fitting. 
c While holding the seal housing tube into the bulkhead fitting, insert
the small drilled end of the center compression nut over the 
extended tube as shown in the assembly diagram (Fig.18.), and 
screw it into the bulkhead body, and lightly tighten. 
NOTE : Be sure to insert the correct end of the center
compression nut into the bulkhead body. The thread 
has been partially relieved on the bulkhead side of the 
center compression nut to visually identify its 
orientation. (Fig.18.)
