Drive Axles - Ford Motor Co. - 7 1/2" & 8 1/2" Ring Gear: Overhaul: Reassembly

  1. Lubricate all parts with rear axle lubricant. Place side gears and thrust washers into case. Place pinion gears and thrust washers exactly opposite each other in case openings and in mesh with side gears.
  2. Install ring gear with new mounting bolts. If bolts are covered with green coating over 1/2" of threaded area, install and tighten bolts. If new bolts do not have green coating, apply small amount of Loctite to bolt threads and tighten bolts.
    NOTE: Ring gear bolts should not be reused.
