Gaskets
— Use liquid sealant per Service Bul-
letin 738 407, Page 22.
Differential Mounting Bolts — To prevent oil
leakage, use Permatex form-a-gasket #2 pliable
setting sealant or equal on all threads. See
torque rating chart for recommended torque,
Section VIII.
Assembly — Refer to the parts section as a
guide to reassembly.
Initial Lubrication — Coat all splines and seals
with Lubriplate during installation to provide
initial lubrication, preventing scoring and galling.
Bearings — Use of flanged-end bearing drivers
is recommended for the installation of bearings.
These drivers apply force to inner or outer races
of bearing, preventing damage and maintaining
alignment with shaft and bore.
Seals — Use a flanged type guide or driver to
install seals. Use of a soft hammer or a soft drift
can be made if care is exercised.
B. After Partial Disassembly
Reassembly after partial disassembly should gen-
erally reverse the disassembly procedure.
C. Suspension Yoke Assembly
1. Press eight studs into the suspension yoke.
2. Apply liquid sealant or gasket cement to the
outer edge of the inner drive yoke seal assem-
bly. (See fig. 28). Press inner drive yoke seal
assembly into suspension yoke with an installa-
tion tool; (See fig. 29 and 30). Remove excess
sealant.
3. Insert the lower kingpin bearing plate with the
large end of the lube fitting tapered hole toward
the top of the suspension yoke. Press the lower
kingpin bearing into place in an arbor press or use
a push plate and a C-clamp. Do not use the
kingpin ball stud to press in the bearing. Lightly
lubricate the bearing and install the o-ring.
