When you come home after a trail ride, do you see oil leaking from the center of your axle housings? The stock axle housing studs may be pulling loose. No longer do you have to tap and drill the studs out and replace the studs. This new Stud Eliminator Kit replaces the studs with Allen head bolts that won't pull through like the stock studs.
Differential Stud Eliminator Kit Contents:
10 High Strength Allen Head Bolts
10 Flat Washers
10 Lock Washers
10 Nuts
Ultra Gray Silicon Gasket Material
INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:
Preparing the Axle
Start by removing the axles from the housing. Remove the 10 nuts holding the differential in place. Slide differential out of housing. Remove all 10 studs from housing. Clean off all remains of the previous differential gasket.
Install Studs
Place one flat washer on to each new bolt. Thread each bolt in from the inside of the housing. Lock-Tight thread locker can be used if desired. Tighten studs with 5mm Allen wrench.
Install Differential
Once all 10 studs have been installed, spread out a thin layer of silicon over the face of the 3rd member. Slide the 3rd member back in to position on the housing. Place lock washer and nut on each stud. Tighten nuts in a star pattern.
Reinstall axles into housing and fill differential with gear lube. Recheck nuts after first trail run.
