2 Removing the Existing Differential

2.3

Disconnecting the Axles

IMPORTANT :

Collision damage or heavy off-road use of your vehicle in the past may

have resulted in some degree of bending in the axle. Any misalignment

of the axle tubes may result in excessive wear and/or failure of your

differential and axle shafts. ARB strongly recommends that you have

your axle assembly inspected for concentricity and straightness before

installing your Air Locker.

 Remove the wheels, and brakes according to your vehicle

manufacturer’s service manual.

 Disconnect the drive shaft from the differential drive flange.

 Remove both axle shafts according to your vehicle manufacturer’s

service manual.

NOTE : The axle oil seals are delicate and can be easily

damaged. Support the weight of the axle shaft when

drawing them out of their sockets in the housing.

2.4

Marking the Bearing Caps

 Using a pointed center punch, gently mark the bearing caps in a

way that will enable you to know which cap is ‘LEFT’ and which cap

is ‘RIGHT’, which way is ‘UP’ and which way is ‘DOWN’. (Fig.1.)

HINT : Many installers choose to make one punch mark on

the left hand side of the left hand bearing cap and one

similar punch mark on the housing at close proximity to

the cap mark. The right hand side is then designated

with two punch marks on the right hand side of the cap

and two similar punch marks on the housing.
