Hyundai Genesis Rear Differential Cover & Drain/Fill Plug Torque Specs - DS-40
Service procedure page DS-40 with step-by-step differential and side-seal install instructions, figures and torque specifications.
This is page DS-40 from a service manual section titled "Driveshaft and axle," covering reassembly steps for a rear differential. Step 5 instructs applying liquid sealant to the differential carrier as shown in an accompanying figure (illustration SBKDS9326N). Step 6 covers installing the differential cover, with a specified tightening torque of 39.2~49.0 Nm (4.0~5.0 kgf.m, 28.9~39.1 lb-ft), illustrated by figure SBKDS9302D showing the cover bolts. Step 7 instructs using a press and tool to press-fit the side oil seals (figure SBKDS9329D, with an arrow indicating the seal location). Step 8 covers installing the drain plug and "pinar" (filler/pillar) plug, with torque specs: pillar plug 39.2~58.8 Nm (4.0~5.0 kgf.m, 28.9~43.3 lb-ft) and drain plug 49.0~68.6 Nm (5.0~7.0 kgf.m, 36.1~50.6 lb-ft), illustrated by figure SBKDS9331D showing the assembled differential. A reader can learn the correct sealant application step, cover bolt torque, seal installation method, and fill/drain plug torque values for servicing the rear differential.
