4 Installing the Air Locker

Apply a thread locking compound to the thread of each ring gear
bolt before inserting it.
NOTE : Do not apply threading compound directly into the
threaded hole as this could prevent the bolt from
reaching its full depth.
Tighten the ring gear bolts in a star pattern with a torque wrench
according to your vehicle manufacturer’s specified torque.

Assembling the Seal Housing
Figure 5.
Make sure the grooves and airway of the seal housing are clean
and free from any contaminants (e.g. water, dirt, metal filings, etc.).
Inspect the seal housing O-rings (supplied) for dirt, damage or
other conditions which might cause leaks.
Generously lubricate the O-rings with oil prior to assembly, then
insert them into the grooves of the seal housing.
NOTE :
When assembling the O-rings, be careful not to leave
them twisted when seated in the grooves as this could
cause excessive wear and leakage.
