Differential Cover, Rear

All servicing and repairing operations on differential housing covers must begin with placing the vehicle into NEUTRAL mode and hoisting it securely. First drain all differential fluid from the housing by removing its 10 holding bolts. Configuration of a new silicone rubber needs clean machined surfaces between rear axle housing and differential housing cover which requires oil-free condition along with interior protection of the rear axle. You should check that the open differential vent on the rear cover functions properly while cleaning the mating surfaces of both the differential housing and cover. The installation of the differential housing cover requires completion within 15 minutes after silicone rubber application or new rubber application becomes necessary. A minimum one-hour period should elapse after silicone rubber application before introducing lubricant into the differential housing. Begin by applying continuous clear silicone rubber to the surfaces before installing the differential housing cover while securing its 10 bolts tightly to 23 Nm (17 lb-ft). The correct procedure involves removing the filler plug to add 1.15L (2.43 pt) rear axle lubricant until it reaches 3-5 mm (0.118-0.196 in) below the bottom of the filler hole and then tightening the filler plug to 29 Nm (21 lb-ft).

Service and repair operations on the differential housing cover need to start with a vehicle placement on a hoist in NEUTRAL gear. The housing requires 10 bolts for removal before you drain all differential fluid inside. Clean all machined surfaces on the rear axle housing and differential housing cover with brand-new silicone sealant while maintaining protection of the rear axle interior from potential damage. It is necessary to leave the differential vent on the rear cover open without any hindrances. The installation of differential housing cover must happen within 15 minutes after applying clear silicone rubber along the mating surfaces or the technician must start over with new sealant. Secure the installed cover by using 10 bolts and tighten them to 23 Nm (17 lb-ft). The rear axle requires 1.15L (2.43 pt) of rear axle lubricant which should reach 3-5 mm (0.118-0.196 in) below the bottom of the filler hole before reinstallation with a torque of 29 Nm (21 lb-ft).

The first step to servicing differential housing cover requires placing a hoisted vehicle into NEUTRAL position. Before proceeding with the differential housing cover service you must remove the exhaust insulator nearest the cover when using soapy water. Use a drain pan to collect the differential fluid before removing its 10 cover bolts then draining the housing fluid. First clean all machined areas on the rear axle housing and differential housing cover completely before installing the new silicone sealant while covering the inside of the rear axle to avoid impurities. The joint areas of differential housing and cover need cleaning for installation. The differential housing cover requires installation within fifteen minutes after silicone application or the silicone needs replacement. The proper curing process for silicone sealant requires one hour before lubricant addition. Place a continuous strip of clear silicone rubber after which the differential housing cover needs installation with its 10 bolts secured at 23 Nm (17 lb-ft). Add 1.15L (2.43 pt) of rear axle lubricant until it reaches 3-5 mm (0.118-0.196 in) below the bottom of the filler hole. Reinstall the filler plug and torque it to 29 Nm (21 lb-ft). The exhaust insulator should be installed near the differential housing cover provided the original equipment was present.

The exhaust insulator should be installed near the differential housing cover provided the original equipment was present.

The first step to service the differential housing cover is putting the vehicle into NEUTRAL on a hoist. You must dissolve the exhaust insulator that covers the differential housing with soapy water if it is present. Position a proper drain pan beneath the differential then eliminate the 10 bolts holding the rear differential cover. The machined areas on the rear axle housing and differential housing cover require cleaning before covering the inside of the rear axle to avoid contaminant entry. A fresh continuous bead of clear silicone rubber must be applied to the differential housing cover while installation happens within 15 minutes of application or the new sealant needs replacement. Fasten the cover along with its 10 bolts until they reach a torque of 23 Nm (17 lb-ft). To proceed with filling the rear axle with 1.15L (2.43 pt) of lubricant, you should maintain a level that sits 3-5mm (0.118-0.196 in) below the filler hole clearance before reinstalling then tightening the filler plug to 29 Nm (21 lb-ft). Attach the exhaust insulator to its position by the differential housing cover if possible.

The first step to service or repair the differential housing cover is positioning the vehicle on a hoist and setting it to NEUTRAL gear position. Place the drain pan underneath the differential while removing its 10 cover bolts. Before using new silicone sealant clean both machined surfaces of the rear axle housing and the differential housing cover alongside ensuring proper coverage inside the rear axle to avoid contamination. Both differential housing surfaces and differential housing cover surfaces require cleaning before using new silicone sealant. When installing the differential housing cover you must do it within 15 minutes of silicone application so a fresh application of silicone sealant will be needed otherwise. The silicone sealant needs at least one hour to cure properly before lubricant can be added to the system. A continuous bead of clear silicone rubber must be applied before installing the differential housing cover with its 10 bolts tightened to 23 Nm (17 lb-ft). Install the filler plug on the rear axle then add 1.15 L of rear axle lubricant to achieve a lubricant level 3-5 mm below the bottom of the filler hole before securely fastening the plug using 29 Nm torque.

The first step for servicing and repairing the differential housing cover includes positioning the vehicle at NEUTRAL on a hoist. To begin service and repair of the differential you must remove the rear axle assembly and then the 10 bolts holding the rear differential cover before draining the differential fluid from its housing. A proper installation of new silicone sealant starts with clean machined surfaces on both rear axle housing and differential housing cover while protecting the rear axle interior from contamination. Direct your attention to the differential vent on the rear cover to ensure it stays open along with inspecting the gasket mating areas on the differential housing and cover before cleaning them. The differential housing cover must receive installation within 15 minutes of silicone application or professionals must reapply new sealant. A one-hour waiting period before lubricant fill should be used to guarantee complete silicone sealant curing. Use clear silicone rubber to create a continuous bead and put on the differential housing cover which requires installation of all 10 bolts at 23 Nm (17 ft. lbs). The service procedure requires you to put 1.15L (2.43 pt) rear axle lubricant into the axle but keep the fluid level between 3 and 5 mm (0.118-0.196 inch) below the bottom part of the filler hole before locking the filler plug to 29 Nm (21 ft. lbs). Finally, reinstall the axle assembly.

The first step to service the differential housing cover requires positioning the vehicle in NEUTRAL position on a hoist. You must drain the differential fluid from the housing by removing its 10 securing bolts. When installing new silicone sealant on the differential housing cover always check that the machined surfaces of the rear axle housing and differential housing cover do not have oil residue and keep the inside of the rear axle protected from damage. Check that the vent on the rear cover is without obstructions while cleaning the gasket-using areas on both differential housing cover and housing. The differential housing cover needs installation within a 15-minute period of silicone sealant application yet failure to do so requires sealant replacement. A period of one hour should separate silicone application from filling with lubricant to enable silicone curing to reach completion. After applying a steady line of clear silicone rubber you should install the differential housing cover with its 10 bolts while tightening them to 23 Nm (17 lb-ft). The rear axle needs to receive its prescribed 1.15L (2.43 pt) of rear axle lubricant through its filler hole while maintaining a 3-5 mm (0.118-0.196 inch) distance below the bottom of the hole before reattaching the plug with correct torque force of 29 Nm (21 lb-ft).

The first step to service and repair the differential cover of the rear drive axle involves using a hoist to put the vehicle into NEUTRAL gear and unthread the 10 bolts from the rear differential housing cover before draining the differential fluid from the housing. The differential housing service requires machined surfaces of rear axle housing and differential housing cover to be completely cleaned from oil residue while protecting the rear axle interior from damage. The differential vent on the rear cover must be unobstructed while cleaning the mating surfaces that connect the differential housing and cover together. The differential housing cover must get installed during the first 15 minutes of silicone rubber application or new silicone rubber becomes necessary. Silicone rubber needs at least one hour of curing time before the lubricant addition process begins. After applying a continuous strand of clear silicone rubber the differential housing cover needs to be installed followed by tightening the 10 bolts to 23 Nm (17 lb-ft). Add rear axle lubricant to a total of 1.15L (2.43 pt) but maintain a lubricant level three to five millimeters (0.118-0.196 inches) below the opening of the filler hole before installing the filler plug and securing it tightly to 29 Nm (21 lb-ft).

Service and repair operations for differential housing cover begin by using NEUTRAL gear position on a vehicle hoist to start. First remove the rear axle assembly before removing all 10 bolts from the rear differential cover to drain the differential fluid from its housing. Start by cleaning both machined surfaces on the rear axle housing and differential housing cover until they are free from oil but also protect the inside of the rear axle from outside contamination. A clear path should exist for the vent located on the differential rear cover. Both the differential housing and differential housing cover require cleaning of their gasket mating areas. You need to install the differential housing cover within 15 minutes of silicone application or new sealant must replace the old application. The installation of lubricant should take place one hour after applying the silicone sealant to allow complete curing. Place a continuous bead of clear silicone rubber before installing the differential housing cover together with 10 bolts which should be tightened to 23 Nm (17 ft. lbs.). Add 1.15L (2.43 pt) rear axle lubricant into the component while leaving a 3-5 mm (0.118-0.196 inch) space below the bottom of the filler hole before tightening the filler plug to 29 Nm (21 ft. lbs.). Finally, reinstall the axle assembly.
