3 Installing the Air Locker

Installing the Differential Center

IMPORTANT:

YOU

MUST SPREAD THE HOUSING.

Spreading the differential housing with a differential case

spreader is a step which is critical to set up bearing pre-load

on cast iron differential housings. Improper pre-load will

result in undue bearing wear, increased stresses in the

differential center, increased running noise, and ultimately,

ring and pinion gear damage.

c Set up a spreader and a dial indicator as shown in Fig 10.
