How to Maintain the Differential Cover on the 181FBI Front Axle on Jeep Wrangler?

Before beginning service on the front axle differential, put the car on a hoist in neutral and unplug the drain before jacking it up. After that, detach the cover bolts and lift the cover to drain the lubricant. For the installation, put a good layer of Mopar Silicone Rubber Sealant or its equivalent on the cover inside the housing, as if not installed inside 3 to 5 minutes, it must be washed and put on again to prevent damage. After the cover is in place, add the identification tag and then tighten the cover bolt holes in a cross pattern to 41 Nm (30 ft. lbs.). After everything is sorted out, fill the differential to the correct level and tighten the fill plug to 34 Nm or 25 ft. lbs.

How to Install a Differential Cover on Jeep Wrangler?

You should first ensure a 6.35 mm (1/4 in.) bead of Mopar Silicone Rubber Sealant or its equivalent covers the housing of the differential for installation of the cover. You need to install the housing cover within a few minutes or else rub the cover clean and add more RTV to prevent damage. Put the cover and ID tag in place and use a criss-cross pattern to tighten all four cover bolts to 41 Nm (30 ft. lbs.). With the differential empty, fill it to the right amount, insert the fill plug and screw it in firmly until it reaches 34 Nm (25 ft. lbs.).
