Overview
The Dana Spicer 10040452 is a master rear axle overhaul kit with bearings for the Dana 35 AdvanTEK rear axle. Its kit type is master kit with bearings, so it is meant for a fuller axle repair rather than a small service.
Bearings are not all alike, so choose the kit for the specific repair. Each kit is complete, with the parts needed to return the axle to good condition. Fitment is universal fit by axle type, so match the Dana 35 AdvanTEK rear axle to your housing.

Before a rear axle rebuild
A rear axle overhaul starts with removing the axle shafts and inspecting the housing for cracks, leaks and bearing bores that have spun. Bearing bores that are out of round cannot hold a new bearing correctly, so check them before reassembly. Clean every part with solvent and keep the bearings packed with fresh lubricant.
Setting bearing preload and carrier shim thickness is critical, because too much or too little preload shortens bearing life quickly. Axle seals, gaskets and the ring gear mounting faces should be checked at the same time. Many shops also replace the pinion seal and crush sleeve during a master job.
- Inspect housing bores and welds
- Measure bearing preload before closing
- Replace axle seals during the rebuild
- Use fresh gear oil at the correct fill level
