4 Installing the Air Locker

NOTE : Avoid using the bolts to pull down the ring gear as

this puts excess strain on the bolts and the differential
flange.

c 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.

c Tighten the ring gear bolts in a star pattern with a torque wrench

according to your vehicle manufacturer’s specified torque.
