LOCK-RIGHT Installations Covered
in This Manual
Integral carrier axles. Typical of these is Spicer®, Jeep®
AMC-20, G.M.® 10-, 12-, and 14-bolt, Ford® 7.5-inch and 8.8-inch,
Toyota® Land Cruiser; similar axles, with and without C-Clips.
Preliminary Steps
The following steps are only a general guide to prelimi-
nary operations used for preparing your vehicle for LOCK-RIGHT
installation. For detailed information, refer to your shop manual.
In general, the preliminary steps include:
a) Blocking the vehicle, putting transmission in neutral;
b) Loosening the wheel lug nuts (optional with C-Clips
and other axles);
c) Jacking up the axle; securely resting it on jack stands;
The LOCK-RIGHT is designed to be used with a correct
thrust washer under each coupler, and failure to use this washer
is easy to observe during inspection and will void the warranty.
A word about C-Clips: Many integral carrier differen-
tials have the axle shafts retained by C-Clips. These are semi-cir-
cular pieces of hardened steel, similar to a washer with one side
cut out, that fit into a groove in the end of the axle shaft and into
a pocket in the side gear. The axle shaft is held in place by the
pinion (spider gear) shaft. The LOCK-RIGHT is designed for many
of these axles, and their installation is covered in this manual.
This type of axle is the easiest in which to install a LOCK-RIGHT,
typically requiring about one hour for the procedure.
