16A
TRANSAXLE (TYPE G)
Axle Shaft and Oil Seal Removal, Continued:
8. Inspect bearing (5) (Figure 16a-5, Page 16a-3). If the bearing in a Type G transaxle is worn or damaged,
the entire axle shaft assembly (1 or 2) must be replaced.
Axle Shaft and Oil Seal Installation
1. If previously removed, install a new oil seal.
1.1. Clean seal seat in the adapter ring (39) (Figure 16a-3, Page 16a-2).
1.2. Place a new seal (15) in the adapter ring with the seal lip facing toward the adapter ring lip
(Figure 16a-3, Page 16a-2). Use an axle seal tool (CCI P/N 1014162) and mallet to tap it in until
it seats firmly in position (Figure 16a-3, Page 16a-2). A hydraulic press may also be used with the
axle seal tool.
1.3. Clean adapter ring seat(s) in the axle tube (14 or 35) (Figure 16a-5, Page 16a-3).
1.4. Apply Loctite
1.5. Place the oil seal and adapter ring assembly into the axle tube with the seal lip facing away from
the bearing (Figure 16a-4, Page 16a-2). Use an axle seal tool (CCI P/N 1014162) and mallet to tap
it in until it seats firmly in position.
CAUTION
• Clean any residual oil from the exposed end of the axle shaft and from the oil seal area prior to
installing the axle shaft to prevent oil from coming in contact with brakes.
2. Install the rear axle onto the transaxle, See following NOTE.
NOTE: There is a LEFT and RIGHT side axle. The splined portions on the axles that insert into the trans-
axle case are two different lengths. The longest length spline is the LEFT, or driver side axle.
2.1. Insert the splined end of the axle shaft into the axle tube. Be careful not to damage the seal on the
inside of the axle tube hub. Advance the shaft through to the bearing on the shaft, and rotate it to
align the shaft splines with the splined bore of the differential gear. Continue advancing the shaft
until the bearing on the axle is firmly seated within the axle tube hub seat.
2.2. Using 90° internal snap ring pliers (0.090 tip) (CCI P/N 1012560), attach the internal retaining ring
into the axle tube hub so that it seats against the axle bearing assembly and into the machined slot
in the inside wall of the axle tube hub (Figure 16a-5, Page 16a-3).
NOTE: If the retaining ring (6), axle bearing (5), or sleeve (4) must be replaced, the entire axle shaft
assembly (1 or 2) must be replaced (Figure 16a-5, Page 16a-3).
2.3. Place a 1/4 to 3/8 - inch (6 - 10 mm) diameter rod against the retaining ring and tap lightly at four
or five locations to ensure it is properly seated. See following WARNING.
∆
WARNING
• Be sure retaining ring is properly seated in its groove. If ring is not properly installed, the axle
assembly will separate from the transaxle and damage the axle assembly and other
components. Loss of vehicle control could result in severe personal injury or death.
3. If a new oil seal was installed, allow 24 hours before operating the vehicle to allow the Loctite
cure.
