ARBs Air Locker Differential Spreader is a professional automotive tool that no differential installer should be without. Most common Salisbury style axle assemblies (e.g., Dana Spicer model 44) require the use of a differential spreader in order to achieve the required carrier bearing pre-load during set-up. Stretching the housing casting (or pumpkin) open by sufficient enough force as to allow extra shim to be added to create the pre-load is the method that the OEM manufactures endorse, and most manufacture's have included special spreader sockets in the housing for exactly this purpose. Insufficient pre-load can result in bearing failure, or ring and pinion failure on any differential, and possible oil/air leakage issues in an Air Locker Differential. As a part of ARBs Air Locker Tools range of differential service/installation equipment, this specialty tool offers an easy, quick and highly effective way of pre-loading these axles.

What Overlanders Say
Bought items from them online. First time buying from Artemis. They got awesome customer service and kept me updated with emails. Fast shipping as well. A+ all around for me.
Daniel S
Absolutely love the KOVEA Mini stove I purchased! They are great to work with and I’ll definitely buy from Artemis again.
Northology Adventures
Unbelievably fast shipping and attentive service. I expected 8-12 weeks for delivery, but the order was shipped the next day and arrived within 3 days! Best buying experience that I can recall, and the Gazelle T8 tent is spectacular.
Jeremy Cyr
Absolutely, hands down, the best customer service I have experienced to date. And a quality product to stand behind. I ordered aluminum traction boards from them recently and they are exactly what I was looking for. Very excited to find a solid vendor, I will be buying from them again.
Rockford Regan
Artemis Hardware delivered exactly what they promised, an exceptionally high-quality product, at a very good price. They provide an exceptional value and I would gladly shop here again.
