Installation

INSTALLATION
1. Remove Differential Plug T89P-4850-B.
2. Replace inboard CV joint stub shaft pilot bearing housing seal.





3. Install a new driveshaft bearing retainer circlip on inboard CV joint stub shaft pilot bearing housing.

NOTE: To install driveshaft bearing retainer circlip properly, start ends in groove and push driveshaft bearing retainer circlip into groove. This will prevent overexpanding of the driveshaft bearing retainer circlip.





4. Lightly lubricate stub shaft splines with Constant Velocity Joint Grease (High Temp) E43Z-19590-A or equivalent meeting Ford specification ESP-M1C207-A.





5. Carefully align splines of inboard CV joint stub shaft pilot bearing housing with splines in differential side gear.





6. Push halfshaft into differential side gear until driveshaft bearing retainer circlip engages with groove in differential side gear. Use care to prevent damage to inboard CV joint stub shaft pilot bearing housing seal.

NOTE: A non-metallic mallet may be used to aid in seating driveshaft bearing retainer circlip into differential side gear groove. If a mallet is necessary, tap only on the outboard CV joint stub shaft until circlip engages.





7. Engage hub splines with outboard CV joint splines.





8. Install lower rear suspension arm bolts to rear wheel knuckle. Using inboard wrench as a lever align paint mark on rear suspension arm and bushing with mark on rear wheel knuckle/bushing and tighten bolts to 160-200 Nm (118-147 ft. lbs.).





9. Install a new rear axle wheel hub retainer and pull CV joint into rear hub as far as possible by hand.
10. Install rear suspension arm and bushing-to-rear wheel knuckle retaining bolt and nut. Tighten bolt to 160-200 Nm (118-147 ft. lbs.).





11. Install rear disc brake rotor. Install new rotor pushnuts.
12. Install the rear disc brake caliper to the rear disc brake rotor with the outer brake shoe against the braking surface of the rear disc brake rotors. This prevents pinching the piston boot between the inner brake shoe and the piston.
13. Install disc brake caliper locating pin and tighten to 108-135 Nm (80-99 ft. lbs.).





14. Install parking brake rear cable and conduit to rear disc brake caliper.





15. install parking brake cable adjuster.





16. Install rear brake anti-lock sensors. Tighten retaining bolts to 19-27 Nm (14-20 ft. lbs.).
17. Check axle lube level and fill as necessary.





18. Check driveshaft bearing retainer circlip engagement by attempting to pull inboard CV joint stub shaft pilot bearing housing from axle. If driveshaft bearing retainer circlip is not seated, push CV joint in until driveshaft bearing retainer circlip is fully engaged in differential side gear.
19. Install wheel and tire assembly. Tighten lug nuts to 115-142 Nm (85-104 ft. lbs.).
20. Lower vehicle.
21. Tighten rear axle wheel hub retainer to 340 Nm (250 ft. lbs.).
22. Install wheel cover.
