Clean machined sealing surface (a) or unmachined sealing surface (b) on the old end cover (A) or new end cover (B) as well as the sealing surface on the rear axle differential housing.
All sealing surfaces must be free of oil and grease.

Fig 3: Locating Machined And Unmachined Sealing Surfaces
Apply sealing compound around circumference of sealing surface (arrow).
The sealing compound must be applied only to the specified sealing surfaces (arrow) with a bead of 2.0 mm (± 0.5 mm). The sealing compound must be applied within 10 min. The silicone bead should not be spread. Only the approved sealant may be used.

Fig 4: Locating Sealing Surfaces

Use flange bolts.
Position the end cover (54) and secure with flange bolts.
The end cover (54) must not slip.
Tighten the flange bolts with torque wrench to stage 1 .
Mark bolt flanges relative to the rear axle differential housing (d).
Apply marking (e) offset by 45° to the rear axle center assembly housing.
Tighten flange bolts with 45° tightening angle as per stage 2.
The markings (d, e) must then match. The tightening angle can also be checked using a commercially available angle tester.
