Fitting an Air locker centre

Post by lump_a_charcoal »

What is involved with fitting a rear air locked centre into a sierra?
It is a complete centre. Do I just need to drill and tap a thread/hole for the air hose, or is there more to it?

Also is it possible to reco airlockers, or get them serviced?

If the air locker is already installed in a 3rd member and it is working, you just need to swap centres and connect air to it. If you need to install the air locker into your centre then you will have to drill the housing and tap the housing for the bulkhead fitting, strip the centre down and swap the crown wheel onto the air locker, then install it and set the diff up. Then install to the housing, install the axles and check for air leaks.

I just did the same - gone is the LockRite and all those noises. Once the locker was fitted though I had to remove 10 mm from each axle before they would snug up. Anyone else have that happen?

Nothing wrong with the splines. Took 10mm off long side, 5 mm off short side.
