REAR AXLE TUBE AND AXLE SHAFT INSTALLATION
1.
Clean and lubricate the seals in the differential with appropriate oil. See Periodic Lubrication Schedule on
page 10-6.
2.
Clean axle shaft (3), particularly the splined ends. Avoiding damage caused by dragging splines across lip of
seal, carefully insert shaft into differential. See following NOTE.
NOTE: It may be necessary to rotate each shaft slightly to engage the splines in the differential housing.
3.
Clean mating surfaces on axle tube (8) flange and differential. Also clean the threads of the six axle tube
mounting holes in the differential. Apply Loctite 2760 to new flange-head bolts (6). See following CAUTION.
CAUTION
• Clean each thread location with a thread tap (M12 x 1.75 pitch) before installing new bolts. Apply
Loctite 2760 Threadlocker to the bolt threads.
4.
Apply a 3/16-inch wide bead of Three Bond No. 1215 (CC P/N 101928701) to the mating surface of the differential.
5.
Secure axle tube (8) to differential housing with the new flange-head bolts (6) and flat washers (7). Use a
crisscross pattern to tighten the hardware to 100 ft-lb (136 N·m).
6.
Install the rear hubs (5). See Rear Hub Installation on page 8-7.
7.
If entire rear axle was removed from vehicle, install rear axle. See Rear Axle Installation on page 17-15.
8.
Refill differential with appropriate type and volume of oil. See Gearcase Lubrication on page 10-16.
REAR WHEEL BEARING REMOVAL
The axle tubes must be unbolted from the differential to access the wheel bearings. The hub seals are incorporated
into the bearings.
1.
Remove axle tube (1) from differential (Figure 17-18, Page 17-18). See Rear Axle Tube and Axle Shaft
Removal on page 17-16.
2.
Remove the retaining ring (2) that is in front of the bearing (3).
3.
Drive bearing (3) from axle tube (1) by applying force to the outer race.
