Installation and Safety Information

• Transmission Fluid: Be prepared for a small amount of transmission fluid to leak when the old inboard joint is removed. It is recommended to have a drain pan ready and top off the fluid according to the manufacturer's specifications after installation.

• Seal Inspection: Inspect the transmission output shaft seal while the axle is removed. If the seal shows signs of weeping or cracking, it should be replaced to prevent future leaks.

• Torque Specification: The axle nut must be torqued to the specific factory setting (typically between 150-220 ft-lbs depending on the model) and properly staked to prevent it from loosening. Do not use an impact wrench for the final torqueing process as it can damage the wheel bearings.

• ABS Sensor Care: Be careful not to strike or damage the ABS wheel speed sensor when removing the old axle or seating the new 48-tooth tone ring into the steering knuckle.
