Refitting Guide:

For refitting, carry out the operations described for removal in reverse order, keeping to the required tightening torques for the screws and/or nuts.

Afterwards, check that:

There is no air leakage from the air pipes.

– The lubricating oil of the axle housing is at the right level.

– The differential locking indicator lamp works properly; if it does not, proceed as described under the relevant heading.
