REAR AXLE TUBES, AXLE SHAFTS AND WHEEL BEARINGS

REAR AXLE TUBE AND AXLE SHAFT REMOVAL

See General Warnings, Section 1, Page 1-2.
The rear axle assembly has two axle shafts. The driver side shaft is longer than the passenger side. The axle tubes
must be unbolted from the differential to access the axle shafts. If only a tube or shaft is to be replaced, it can be done
one side at a time without removing the entire rear axle.
1. Clean debris from drain plug and area around it at the bottom of the differential. Drain oil. Install plug after draining.
2. If removing entire rear axle from vehicle, remove the rear axle and clean it in preparation for disassembly. See
Rear Axle Removal on page 17-7. See following NOTE.
NOTE: After cleaning, move the rear axle and differential assembly to a clean location before disassembly.
3. If removing only one axle tube (8) or shaft (3) (Figure 17-18, Page 17-16) from vehicle, clean that tube and hub
in preparation for disassembly.
4. Remove rear hub (5). See Rear Hub Removal on page 8-6.
5. Remove the six flange-head bolts (6) and flat washers (7) securing each axle tube (8) to the differential (Figure
17-18, Page 17-16). See following CAUTION.
CAUTION
• The differential and axle tubes have been assembled with Loctite 2760 Threadlocker compound. Use
a non-flammable heat source to heat the flange area and bolts during the removal and replacement
of each of the six bolts. Once removed, the manufacturer recommends that each thread location be
tapped with the same thread (M12 x 1.75 pitch) before new bolts are installed.
6. Cover or tape the axle shaft (3) splines to protect the hub seals in the axle tube (8).
7. Separate each axle tube (8) from the differential and carefully pull tube straight away until it clears the splined
end of the axle shaft (3).
8. Avoiding damage caused by dragging splines across lip of seal in differential, carefully pull axle shaft from
differential.
