How to Service and Repair the Differential Cover on Ford Crown Victoria?

Service and repair of differential housing cover requires first putting the vehicle into neutral position while using a hoist for support. You must uninstall 10 differential housing cover bolts before draining lubricant out of the differential housing unit. Then both the differential housing and cover machined areas need cleaning before starting to prevent oil contamination. Use a continuous bead of silicone gasket and sealer on the differential housing cover but install it no longer than fifteen minutes afterward to prevent new sealant applications. The curing process for silicone sealant requires at least one hour prior to adding lubricant inside the axle. Set the differential housing cover into position while fitting an axle guard whenever needed. Secure the cover with 45 Nm (33 lb-ft) using a star pattern when tightening all ten bolts while installing the axle tag bolt at 31 Nm (23 lb-ft). Additive friction modifier should be added into Traction-Lok® axles at a rate of 118 ml (4 oz) before removing their fill plug while making sure the tool recess remains clear for proper housing. The rear axle requires 2.37L (5 pt) of lubricant for filling then users must reinstall and tighten the fill plug to 30 Nm (22 lb-ft). The vehicle must go through proper reinstantiation after power up due to safety procedures designed to protect personnel from severe injuries.
