AWR Racing Ford Explorer ST Differential Mount Install

Описание: Ford Explorer ST Differential Mount by AWR Racing

Caution: The vehicle components may be hot to the touch if you recently drove the car. It is recommended to allow components to cool off before attempting this installation.

Tools Needed: 13mm 12 point box wrench, 14 mm socket, 3/4" socket and box wrench, rubber mallet, alignment punch.

Remove the bottom bolt to the right of the drain plug on the differential cover as well as the differential cover bolt that is on the right side at the 3 o’clock position.
Begin by Installing the nut plate into the frame rail by holding the small bent tab. Insert the nut plate into the middle subframe hole with the smooth side facing down towards the ground.
Note* This tab should be hanging down and to the driver side of the vehicle out of the hole it was put through.
Thread the passenger side bolt temporarily to retain the nut plate in place.
Install frame bracket. Align the frame bracket with the left side bolt and loosely fasten the left side of the bracket.
Remove the right side bolt that retained the nut plate. Pivot the bracket into place and re-insert the bolt.
Once both bolts are connected hand tighten the bolts so the bracket can be re-positioned if necessary.
Now install the differential bracket in between the ears of the frame bracket and use the alignment tool to position the ears and the bushing.
With the alignment tool holding together the two pieces, start by inserting the upper 3 o’clock bolt to the differential.
Note* Removing and Installing the upper differential housing bolt may be tricky as the bolt is slightly longer than the area to remove it allows. Slip the bolt into the mount first and finesse the upper bolt into place. Once in place, proceed to install the lower housing bolt.
Remove the alignment tool and install the thru-bolt into the differential mount. Push the bolt in from the left side, washers included on both sides. Install the nylock nut.
Tighten both frame bolts with the 14mm socket to 40 ft lbs.
Tighten the differential housing bolts with the 13mm 12 point box wrench.
Lastly, torque the thru-bolt to 60 - 65 ft lbs.
Once mount install is completed, double check that all fasteners are tight. Take your ride out and enjoy!
