Dana Spicer D40-170, D46-170, D52-190, D60-190, R40-170 2005 Parts Catalog

You are staring at a pile of bearings, a dirty axle housing, and a reprint parts list from some third‑party website that got the part numbers wrong. I have seen that waste three hours of a Saturday. When you need to find the correct wheel differential case kit for a Spicer R46‑170, you do not chase ghosts. You need the OEM document that the guys at Dana Spicer wrote in 2005 for these specific models: D40‑170, D46‑170, D52‑190, D60‑190, R40‑170. This is that document. 30 pages. Factory exploded views. Part numbers that match the casting numbers on the housing. No guesswork.

Model Identification & How to Use the Parts List

Page 2 lists every single reduction and helical reduction model covered. Page 3 tells you how the illustrated parts list works. If you have a D170 or D190 heavy tandem axle, you flip to page 4 for model identification. There is a chart that matches the axle tag to the correct exploded view. I have seen guys order a D60‑190 carrier when they actually had a D52‑190 because the tag was worn. The chart on page 4 saves you that mistake. Page 6 and 7 give you the exploded view of the axle and the power divider. Page 8 is the actual parts list for D170/D190. When you need a Spicer wheel differential case kit, those kits are organized on page 10 with the part numbers you order.

R170/R190 & Housing Assembly: Parts Exploded Views

Not every shop works on D series axles. Some of you will run into R170, R190, S170, S190 models. They are in this catalog starting on page 11. The housing and output shaft assembly has its own exploded view on page 15 and a parts list on page 16. That section includes a summary of kits and assemblies, plus the axle housing hardware kit listing on page 17. If you need an axle shaft or a yoke/flange, those are listed on pages 18 and 19. A parts catalog does you no good if it skips the hardware kit. This one does not.

Service Kits, Bearing Kits & Spacers – What You Actually Order

Page 20 has two service kits: the seal driver kit and the wheel differential bearing adjustment kit. If you are rebuilding a differential, you need those adjustment tools. Bearing kits are on page 21. Bearing spacers on page 22. New service carriers on page 23. Then page 27 wraps up with the Spicer service kits parts listing. That is everything you need to order the correct bearings, spacers, and seal drivers for these Dana Spicer heavy tandem axles. Without this catalog, you end up calling the dealer and reading serial numbers off the housing. With it, you pull the part number from the book and order it.

3 Questions That Get Answered in This Catalog

Which wheel differential case kit fits my D46‑170? The Spicer Wheel Differential Case Kits section on page 10 gives you the exact kit numbers. What is the output shaft part number for an R40‑170? Housing and output shaft assembly parts list on page 16. Which seal driver kit works with D52‑190? Service kit listing on page 20. Every answer comes from the original 2005 Dana Spicer publication, not from a forum post.

Source Validity: Why an OEM Parts Catalog Beats Aftermarket Reprints

Every aftermarket reprint of a Dana Spicer parts list has at least one error per page – wrong supersession, missing illustration callout, or a digit swapped in a part number. That one digit costs you a week of downtime waiting for the wrong bearing. This is a direct scan of the original Dana Spicer document dated December 2005 (AXIP‑0057). It has the Roadranger branding from the Eaton-Dana joint venture. The exploded views are clear enough to read the reference numbers.

Does this catalog include torque specs for the axle nuts?

No. This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. Torque values are not listed. You need the separate Dana Spicer service manual for that data.

Will this catalog tell me the exact part number for a D52‑190 carrier assembly?

Yes. Page 23 lists new service carriers. The carrier part numbers are there with the correct model designation. You cross‑reference the axle tag to the chart on page 4, then look up the carrier on page 23. It takes two minutes.

Does the document cover the R40‑170 power divider?

Yes. The power divider exploded view is on page 7. The corresponding parts list is on page 12 for R170/R190 models. The R40‑170 uses the same power divider as the R46‑170 and R52‑190. All part numbers are in the list.

How many pages is the catalog?

30 pages.

You have the axle on the bench, the bearings are out, and you need the right part number before the parts store closes. No scrolling through blurry screen grabs or guessing which supersession applies. Access the Factory Manual and get the exact Dana Spicer part numbers for your D40‑170, D46‑170, D52‑190, D60‑190, or R40‑170 axle.
