and banjo housing, pushing the axle shaft part way
into the differential side gear. Mesh sun gear (9) with
planet pinions (8).
6. Push axle shaft (26) and sun gear (9) inward as far
as they will go. With a steel rule and straight edge,
measure from cover mounting surface on planetary
carrier (14) to the end of axle shaft (26). Note as
dimension 'A'. See Fig. 4.
7. Next, lay cover (16) on flat surface and again use
a straight edge and steel rule to measure the height
of the inside raised surface of cover (16). Note as
dimension 'B'. See Fig. 5. Subtract dimension 'B' from
dimension 'A' and the clearance should be within
2.7 - 11.9 mm (0.106 - 0.469 in).
Note: If the end play is too small, the axle shaft is
not pushed completely into the differential side gear.
If the end play is greater than the allowable
maximum, either the axle shaft end or the driving
flange thrust cover, or both are excessively worn. To
correct this, replace cover (16) first. If the end play is
still too great, a new axle shaft must be installed.
8. Replace magnetic plug (18) and fill the planetary
reservoir with lubricant specified in Section 300-0020,
LUBRICATION SYSTEM, through the driving flange
opening or fill plug until the correct level is reached.
9. Spread sealing compound on the surface of
cover (16) which contacts the driving flange. Position
gasket (15) and install cover (16) on driving flange
using bolts (17). Be sure to replace any thread
protectors which have been removed.
REAR AXLE
Description and Operation
Numbers in parentheses refer to Fig. 6.
The rear axle assembly consists of banjo (1)
assembly and A-frame (39). The banjo provides the
housing for the differential and axle shafts which
drive the wheels, and spindles (2) to which the
wheels are mounted. The banjo also connects the
rear wheels to the chassis through A-frame (39), link
(16), and the rear ride cylinders.
The rear axle is centrally mounted on the rear frame
crossmember with a tapered pin (12) and component
parts, which allows the axle to oscillate as the truck
moves over uneven terrain.

Removal
Numbers in parentheses refer to Fig. 6.
Note: If differential only is to be removed, it can be
done while axle is attached to the truck, as outlined in
Section 160-0020, DIFFERENTIAL.
WARNINGS
Heavy machine. Make sure lifting device or
jack has proper lifting capacity and is
adequately secured to do the job safely.
Personal injury and damage may result if
machine falls or jack or lifting device
collapses.
To prevent possible personal injury,
relieve the pressure in the braking system.
The exact procedure must be followed as
described in Section 250-0000, BRAKING
SYSTEM SCHEMATIC.
1. Position the vehicle in a level work area, apply the
parking brake and switch off the engine.
