R180 diff side seal replacement

Posted September 9, 201212 yr

comment_401060

One of the side seals in my R180 diff are leaking. I've never replaced the side seal on a 180. I've replaced it on an R200 but not the 180. I assume you remove the bolt in the center of the flange and simply pull it out, but I don't like trial and error. The factory manual is not very helpful. Anyone help me with this? Thanks. Guy

Really? No one on this forum has ever put a side seal in an R180?

I did this a few weeks ago. I removed the bolt, popped out the flange, removed the seal and then reversed the procedure.

What's the proper torque for that center bolt in the flange? Looks like the FSM calls for 13 to 18 foot lbs. .......is that correct?

That sounds right. I tightened it by hand till it felt tight. I don't like using a torque wrench on those low settings ever since I snapped off a pressure plate bolt. If you're concerned about it coming loose just put a little blue loctite on the threads.
