AXLE BEARING

Axle Bearing Removal
1. Use external retaining ring pliers (0.047 inch (1.19 mm) tip) to remove the retaining ring (74). Place a bearing
puller wedge attachment (P/N 1012812) on the axle shaft between the wheel mounting flange and the bearing
(Figure 24-8, Page 24-6). See also Figure 24-9, Page 24-8.See following CAUTION.
CAUTION
• Do not tighten the bearing puller wedge attachment against the axle shaft. This could damage the axle
shaft when pressing the bearing and collar off.
2. Press the bearing (71) and collar (73) off together (Figure 24-8, Page 24-6). See also Figure 24-9, Page 24-8.
See following NOTE.
NOTE: It may be necessary to heat the collar to remove it.
Do not remove the large axle retaining ring (70) from the axle (Figure 24-8, Page 24-6). Since the inner
diameter of the retaining ring (70) is smaller than the outer diameter of the bearing (71), the ring must be
in place on the axle before a new bearing and collar are pressed on.
