  We
fit the tube and seal housing in its approximate finished location and
then gently bent it out of the way so we could fir the carrier into place.
When you look around inside the empty case, you can find a couple of other
places you could mount the air tube bulkhead body. I took a look at least two where we wouldn't have to drill the case. |
||
  But
neither of the locations allowed enough clearance between the ring and the
case for the line to go between with a margin of safety. So when all else
fails... follow the directions from the carrier manufacturer (which,
by the way, was very well laid out and detailed. Thanks ARB). With the air
line out of the way, the carrier goes back into place (to stay this
time). |
||
  The
easy part is the ring side of the differential. We just reassembled it
exactly the reverse of its disassembly. Don't lock down the bearing cap
bolts until you are done with backlash adjustments later. The other side
gets a bit trickier because it has to house an airtight seal for the
locker. It starts with a small clamping plate that has been tapped for
three allen screws. |
||
  Next
came the adjustment ring. Notice that it looks a little different than the
stock unit. Be careful when working around the extended bearing journal
because it has to be perfectly smooth and scratch free to keep the seal
air tight. Next we installed the bearing cap bolts, but, like the other
side we kept it loose enough to make the backlash adjustments needed. |
