B
REAR AXLE DISASSEMBLY
The rear axle is a precision assembly, and therefore any
repair or replacement of parts must be done with extreme
care in a clean environment. Before attempting to perform
any service on the axle, read and understand all of the fol-
lowing text and illustrations before disassembling the unit.
Handle all gears with extreme care since each is part of a
matched set.Damage to one will require replacement of
the entire set or result in an unacceptably high noise level.
Snap rings must be removed/installed with care to pre-
vent damage of bearings, seals and bearing bores.
It is recommended that whenever a bearing, seal or 'O' ring is
removed, it be replaced with a new one regardless of mileage.
Always wipe the seals and 'O' rings with a light oil before
installing.
To reduce the possibility of personal injury, fol-
low the lifting procedure in SAFETY section of
this manual. Place wheel chocks in front and
behind the front wheels and check the stability
of the vehicle on the jack stands before starting
any repair procedure. Never work on a vehicle
that is supported by a jack alone.
