A basic mechanical background and standard hand tools are sufficient for most home installers. The process involves draining the existing differential fluid, removing the OEM cover, cleaning the housing mating surface, installing the new aFe cover with the provided hardware and gasket\/sealant, and refilling with the appropriate gear oil. A professional installation is recommended if you are not comfortable with drivetrain service. Always torque fasteners to factory specification and refill with the correct Ford-specified differential fluid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this differential cover CARB compliant?\u003c\/strong\u003e This is a mechanical\/structural component and does not affect emissions systems, so CARB compliance regulations do not apply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this cover require a break-in period?\u003c\/strong\u003e No break-in is required.
