  Q: How to Ensure Proper Installation of the Differential Cover on Chevrolet SSR?

  A: Before starting the replacement process of the rear axle housing cover and gasket users should perform the following steps: first raise the vehicle, drain the rear axle and remove all rear axle housing cover bolts. Secure the vehicle at an elevated position then carefully uninstall the rear axle housing cover bolts without causing any harm to the gasket. Place the rear axle housing cover aside before draining the axle lubrication through a proper storage container. The rear axle cover gasket requires immediate replacement if signs of nicks, cuts or damage impair its ability to seal properly. Thus, inspect this gasket before moving forward. You can use a suitable cleaner on reusable gaskets while you also clean the gasket surfaces attached to both the rear axle housing cover and the rear axle housing. After applying the rear axle housing cover gasket install the rear axle housing cover onto the housing. Among the rear axle housing cover bolts install all bolts then tighten them through a crosswise pattern to 30 nm (20 ft. Lbs.). The proper axle lubricant should be added to the rear axle before the vehicle can be thoroughly lowered.
