How to service and repair the Dana 60 and 70 semi-floating axle shaft assembly on Ford E-150?

The service and repair of Dana 60 and 70 semi-floating axle shaft assembly begins after you securely lift the vehicle using a hoist or jack with safety stands in place. Initiate the process by removing both rear wheel and tire as well as the brake disc. Discharge the fluid when you pull off the differential housing cover and get rid of gasket material from both housing surfaces and the cover. A Loctite(R) coated differential pinion shaft lock screw with 5/32-inch hexagram socket head can be present in the differential assembly along with a torque prevailing screw having a 12-point drive head. Never reuse the Loctite(R) screw, discarding it after removal but you can reuse the torque prevailing screw four times. After removing the lock screw you can extract the differential pinion shaft because it has a slip-fit design which can be put out by hand. The centerward pressure on the axle shaft flanged end needs to be done carefully to remove the U-washer while maintaining safety of the wheel bearing oil seal together with avoiding differential side gear rotation to prevent pinion gears or thrust washers from escaping. Install the differential pinion shaft along with the old lock screw by applying only light pressure to avoid differential gear rotation. After removing the pinion shaft and lock screw repeat the process by pushing the axle shaft inside the tube so its splines connect to differential side gear splines. Place the U-washer before drawing the axle shaft outward to establish assembly lock. Position the lock screw hole toward the differential case where you will add the thrust washers before installing the differential pinion shaft. It is essential to clean both the lock screw threads and the corresponding threads in the differential case before installing the replacement lock screw. Apply a continuous bead of silicone sealant to the cover after cleaning both the differential housing cover mounting surfaces and housing with solvent. Install the housing cover with two bolts placed at eight o'clock and two o'clock positions then add the rest of the bolts for tightening alternately at 47 Nm (35 ft. lbs.) for Grade 5 and 61 Nm (45 ft. lbs.) for Grade 8 bolts. The service process requires one hour to let the sealant cure followed by filling the axle with 21 C.L. (7 ounces) of friction modifier then 3.0L (6.3 pints) of specified rear axle lubricant.
