This B&M Cast Aluminum Cover
has been designed to work on most
vehicles equipped with a Dana 60 or
70 axle. The B&M Cast Aluminum
Cover provides several advantages
over stock factory covers. The extra
capacity provides increased oil
volume and added cooling, while the
thick
aluminum construction
increases case rigidity. The
reinforced center bar, along with the
load bolts, prevents bearing cap
deflection under severe loads. The
magnetic drain plug feature allows
regular gear oil changes without the
usual mess, and limits ferrous debris
from circulating in the axle.

instructions. It is suggested that the
vehicle be allowed to cool off for a
few hours to avoid burns from hot oil
and parts. The vehicle should be off
the ground for ease of installation -
jack stands, wheel ramps or a hoist
will
work fine. MAKE SURE
VEHICLE IS FIRMLY SUPPORTED
- DO NOT WORK UNDER A
VEHICLE IF IT IS SUPPORTED BY
ONLY A JACK! Try to raise the
vehicle 1-2 feet so you will have
plenty of room to work. Also, have
a small box to put bolts in and a
drain pan to catch oil.

installation of the cover easier.
STEP
2. Place a drain pan
underneath the axle housing.
STEP 3 (OPTIONAL). Loosen the
fill plug with a

and extension. This is done as a
precaution; if stock cover needs to
