Installation Notes:

• Drain the rear differential oil and remove the differential cover to access the seals and bearings.
• Inspect seal surfaces and bearing races for grooves, pitting, or corrosion; replace any damaged surfaces before installing new parts.
• Use a proper seal driver or guide to seat the seals evenly without distortion; avoid copper hammering that could nick the seal lips.
• Lubricate bearings with assembly lubricant or clean gear oil before pressing into place; ensure correct orientation of bearings and seals.
• Press bearings squarely into their races and verify axial float; torque the cover bolts to OEM specifications and evenly tighten in a criss-cross pattern.
• Refill with the recommended gear oil level and type; check for leaks after the first test ride and re-tighten any fasteners if needed.

Why Upgrade?

Running a worn rear differential seal or bearings can allow oil leaks, dirt intrusion, and accelerated wear of gears and bearings. This replacement restores reliable lubrication, improves differential containment, and helps prevent sudden failures that could strand you on the trail or in the field.
