Cast Aluminum Rear End Cover for

GM 10.5” 14 Bolt

(see www.bmracing.com for the latest vehicle fitment applications and model years)

Part Number 70501

Printed in the USA 9500874-00

This B&M Cast Aluminum Rear

End Cover has been designed to

work on most GM vehicles equipped

with a GM 10.5” 14 bolt style axle.

The B&M Cast Aluminum Rear

End Cover provides several

advantages over stock factory

covers. The extra capacity provides

increased oil volume and added

cooling, while the thick aluminum

construction increases case rigidity.

The reinforced center bar, along with

the load bolts, prevents bearing cap

deflection under severe loads. The

magnetic drain plug feature allows

regular gear oil changes without the

usual mess, and limits ferrous debris

from circulating in the axle.

INTRODUCTION

This rear end cover can be installed

in about an hour by carefully

following the instructions. It is

suggested that the vehicle be

allowed to cool off for a few hours to

avoid burns from hot oil and parts.

The vehicle should be off the ground

for ease of installation - jack stands,

wheel ramps or a hoist will work

fine. MAKE SURE VEHICLE IS

FIRMLY SUPPORTED - DO NOT

WORK UNDER A VEHICLE IF IT IS

SUPPORTED BY ONLY A JACK!

Try to raise the vehicle 1-2 feet so

you will have plenty of room to

work. Also, have a small box to put

bolts in and a drain pan to catch

oil.

INSTALLATION

STEP 1. Clean axle housing cover

area from dirt and other debris.

NOTE: On some vehicles it

might be necessary to remove

some parts (e.g. sway bar,

panhard rod) to make the

installation of the cover easier.

STEP 2. Place a drain pan

underneath the axle housing.

Remove the axle housing drain plug

(if equipped) with a 3/8” square

ratchet and allow the oil to drain.

STEP 3. Remove the axle housing

fill plug with a 3/8” square ratchet

and extension (See Figure 1).
