Assembly and Installation<br />

the differential housing. Use <strong>Meritor</strong> adhesive<br />

number 2297-T-4180, or equivalent.<br />

See the Section 4. Tighten the adapter to<br />

40-60 lb-ft (55-80 Nm). Figure 5.108. .<br />

CAUTION<br />

IF THE OIL FILTER IS TIGHTENED MORE<br />

THAN 3/4 OF A TURN AFTER IT CONTACTS<br />

THE DIFFERENTIAL, THE OIL FILTER WILL<br />

BE DAMAGED AND LEAk FLUID. DAMAGE<br />

TO COMPONENTS CAN RESULT.<br />

19. Apply axle lubricant to the gasket of the new<br />

oil filter. Install the oil filter onto the adapter.<br />

When the gasket on the filter contacts the<br />

CAUTION<br />

When you apply some silicone gasket materials,<br />

a small amount of acid vapor is present. To<br />

prevent serious personal injury, ensure that the<br />

work area is well-ventilated. Read the manufacturer’s<br />

instructions before using a silicone gasket<br />

material, then carefully follow the instructions. If a<br />

silicone gasket material gets into your eyes, follow<br />

the manufacturer’s emergency procedures.<br />

Have your eyes checked by a physician as soon<br />

as possible.<br />

Take care when you use Loctite® adhesive to<br />

avoid serious personal injury. Read the manufacturer’s<br />

instructions before using this product. Follow<br />

the instructions carefully to prevent irritation<br />

to the eyes and skin.<br />

material around the mating surface of the hub<br />

and around the edge of each fastener hole.<br />

3. Install the gaskets and axle shafts in the axle<br />

housing in the differential. The gasket and<br />
