![Air DIFF LOCKER Installation [on a Suzuki Jimny]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/vj_HFSCCVNI/hqdefault.jpg "Air DIFF LOCKER Installation [on a Suzuki Jimny]")
How to install an air differential locker on your Suzuki Jimny or any other 4×4 for that matter? In this video, I will show you in detail all the steps to remove your stock diff and swap it with an air locking one. (I’m using an exact copy of the ARB air locker unit)
Undoubtedly, having a selectable air diff locker at least on the rear axle can truly transform your 4wd in terms of its offroad capabilities but the installation procedure could be quite expensive and is not incredibly easy to perform yourself.
That is why, I decided to take the time and help you by documenting every step of the way: from disassembling the brakes, detaching the prop-shaft and pulling out the half-shafts and stock diff, through checking the factory backlash on the ring and pinion set, replacing the carrier bearing, to drilling the hole in the 3rd member for the bulkhead port and routing the copper line. I’ve got you covered!

I have Suzuki jimney 2005 with air lock originally factory were in can buy them lock type
What are you sealing the diff case with? The black sealant stuff
Hi!
I have a ARB air locker on my rear differential. I haven’t connected the ARB air compressor to the air locker yet. This as led to a leak out of the bulkhead where the air line from the air compressor will connect. I am about to install the air compressor to the air locker and I am wondering if I can just proceed or I have to deal with the leak first. If I do have to deal with the leak, what should I do?
Thank you
Are you happy with the HF china locker? Is it working properly?
I used your video as a guide to assist with the installation of one of these Chinese ARB copies last weekend in an SJ70 and it was most useful. For those who are contemplating doing this, please read the instructions in conjunction with the video as there are a couple of critical things that are omitted. Firstly, it's important to use a torque wrench when re-assembling, and also use threadlock compound on the ring gear bolts. When disassembling, use some paint or a marker to put some reference marks on everything to ensure that you don't mix things from one side to another.
What's the price of an airlock like that ? Great video, thanks for sharing
what about bearing preload
I was wondering why you didn't install front air locks is there no need on the jimny for front air locker
Nice video. Are the differentials torsen design? If I only have one differential, where do you recomend install this in front or rear, why?
Ilyen diferenciálművet hol árulnak?
Nice video George! Can you do also one video how to change suspension on a Jimny?
I have a problem with ARB lockers. The twin washers inside the air line ring (seal housing) mounted onto the axle spline gear (bearing journal) is so low quality. They begin to leak after a year and start to pump your diff oil out to the air pump and now you have an oil leak from your air pump. And when the leak increases with more wear, your lockers stop locking. You have to dismantle the whole diff to change those washers. And guess what, those also wear and here we go again. They are constantly subjected to friction when the axles are moving. This is a big big design weakness. I prefer electrically operated lockers now.
Thx, just what i needed. Quick question tho :
Is this the ARB replica? if so, does it hold up good?
I want Airlocker in front, and LSD rear.
Your jimny look very close to my jimny, just uploaded a vid today.
Страхотно видео, поздравления! От къде си купи бутоните на таблото за задействане на локъра?
Great video! Do you have any information on your axle gaurd on the rear axle? Is is welded to the axle? Does it act as an axle truss as well?
А в случай че имаш 2 моста, един с блокаж и един без, възможно ли е просто да свалиш диференциала с блокажа и да го монтираш на моста без?
Great video!
Thanks George, explained well, that's something I need to do
Nice work! Lockers are such a game changer for offroading
