(transmission in gear). Add just enough shims so that the axle shafts spin in opposite directions
when the wheel is rotated.
Remove the above and clean, dry and re-pack the bearing with grease. Using a gasket sealer,
carefully seal both sides of each gasket and of each shim and install the bearing retainer using
the 2 rear bolts.
The parts sequence from the axle housing is:
Gasket(4130) -> Baking Plate -> Gasket(4130) -> Shim(s)(4229) -> Gasket(4130)
è -> Bearing Retainer -> Gasket(4130) –> Brake Support -> Gasket(4130)
è -> Seal/Retainer -> End Shaft Seal (4294) -> Hub -> Washer -> Nut -> Retainer
Finish up by installing sealer and gaskets up to the hub seal. Attach the axle seal using the 2
support bolts and finally the 4 stud bolts and nuts.
Install the brake shoes and slip a new cork end seal up against the bearing. I put Permatex
sealer on the splines before I slipped the hub on the axle. Attach the hub and tighten the end nut.
The specification is between 400 and 500 ft lbs. (Being cautious, I snugged the nut and did a
final torque after the wheel was on.)
Next install the brake drum and adjust the brakes. Carefully re-install the rear wheel.
If you do this right and with a little thought and common sense, your axles should not leak.
