Replacing drive flange on left or right of rear
differential

Warning!

Risk of burning on the exhaust system!

 

Important!

When replacing the drive flange, you must also replace the 
shaft seal!

Necessary preliminary tasks:

Remove output shaft from rear differential and tie back

Using a suitable screwdriver and a hammer (acting as a rest),
force drive flange (1) off rear differential.

Installation:

Replaced deformed or damaged dust plates.

Insert drive flange and rotate until spline on flange meshes with
teeth on differential bevel gear.

Press drive flange in further until circlip locates with an audible
click.

Important!

High installation forces indicate that the spline teeth on the
drive flange/differential bevel gear are damaged/deformed!

Check spline teeth, replaced damaged parts.
