divider cover. All rear axles are fitted with mag-
netic drain and fill plugs.
4.
At each axle oil change, remove and clean the
magnetic strainer, if equipped, as follows; see
4.1
Remove the magnetic strainer from the
power divider cover.
WARNING
Always wear eye protection when using com-
pressed air to clean parts, as flying debris could
cause permanent damage to unprotected eyes. Do
not point the air stream in the direction of other
persons.
4.2
Wash the strainer in solvent, and blow it
dry with compressed air to remove oil and
metal particles.
4.3
Install and tighten the magnetic strainer
40 to 60 lbf·ft (54 to 81 N·m).
5.
Clean the fill and drain plugs as follows. Change
them if necessary.
5.1
For magnetic plugs, use a piece of key
stock or any other convenient steel slug
to short the two magnetic poles and divert
the magnetic field.
5.2
Clean away the collected material depos-
ited on each pole. Magnets will rapidly
lose their effectiveness as collected mate-
rial bridges the gap between the two
poles.
5.3
After the first oil is changed, inspect the
drain plug each time for large quantities
of metal particles.
5.4
After cleaning, install the drain plug(s)
and tighten to 40 to 60 lbf·ft (54 to 81
N·m).
6.
