Note :
1. It is very important that the liquid gaskets listed above or their exact equivalent be used on the vehicle.
2. Be careful to use the specified amount of liquid gasket.
Follow the manufacture's instructions at all times.
3. Be absolutely sure to remove all lubricants and moisture from the connecting surfaces before applying
the liquid gasket.
The connecting surfaces must be perfectly dry.
4. LOCTITE 515 and LOCTITE 518 harden upon contact with a metal surface.
Do not apply LOCTITE 515 or LOCTITE 518 between two metal surfaces having a clearance of greater
than 0.25 mm (0.01 in). Poor adhesion will result.
RECOMMENDED THREAD LOCKING AGENTS
LOCTITE Type LOCTITE Color Application Steps
LOCTITE 242 Blue1. Completely remove all lubricant and moisture from the bolts and
the female threaded surfaces of the parts to be joined.
The surfaces must be perfectly dry.

Important Operations
1. Wheel and Tire
Raise vehicle to the working level.
Support the axle assembly with the proper jack and chassis
stands.
6. Bearing Nut and Washer
(1) Remove the stake from the lock nut.
(2) Mount axle shaft into vise, clamping vise jaws around the
lock nut.
Vise should not be tightened excessively on lock nut.
(3) Install special tool onto flange studs, lock into position with

(2) Install special tool onto lock nut, and remove the lock nut.
Remover and installer : 5-8840-2329-0
7. Bearing Holder
Remove the bearing holder and bearing from the axle shaft by
means of a press.
NOTE :
Only a slight amount of pressure from the press is
required to separate the bearing from the shaft. Be sure to
support the backing plate solidly, and to hold onto the
axle shaft to prevent it from falling to the floor.
10.Bearing Outer Race
Drive off the bearing outer race using a brass drift.

Install the axle shaft assembly on the opposite side and push it
in until it fits against the differential thrust block. Then,
measure the clearance (t) between the bearing holder and the
axle case flange and determine the thickness of the shim to be
installed by the following formula :
Measured clearance (t) + 0.3 mm (0.012 in) = thickness of
shim to be installed.
