Axle Shafts: Overhaul: Notes
CAUTION:
Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
NOTE:
During the 2001 Model Year, there was a first and second design style of large diameter clamp used. The first design uses an Omega style large diameter clamp, while the second design uses a low profile large diameter clamp. This incorporates different tools and instruction to repair. Before following repair procedures, verify the style of clamp used.
