Rear Differential Assembly: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Mazda CX-5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
- The engine stand is equipped with a self-lock mechanism, however, if the rear differential is in a tilted condition, the self-lock mechanism could become inoperative. If the rear differential unexpectedly rotates it could cause injury, therefore do not maintain the rear differential in a tilted condition. When turning the rear differential, grasp the rotation handle firmly.
CAUTION:
- Clean away the old sealant before applying the new sealant.
- Install the rear cover before the applied sealant starts to harden.
- Allow the sealant to set at least 30 minutes after installation before filling the differential with the specified oil.
- Assemble in the order indicated in the table.
