TRANSAXLE (TYPE K)
CAUTION
• If the bearing was removed from the shaft, replace bearing with a new one.
4. Place the bearing puller wedge attachment against the collar and press on both the bearing and collar.
See following CAUTION.
CAUTION
• Do not tighten the bearing puller wedge attachment against the axle shaft. This could damage
the axle shaft when pressing off the bearing and collar.
5. Install retaining ring (7) into the groove on the axle shaft (Figure 16b-4, Page 16b-3).
Axle Shaft and Oil Seal Installation
1. Clean bearing and seal seats in the axle tube (16 or 40) (Figure 16b-4, Page 16b-3).
2. Place a new seal (17) in the axle tube with the seal lip facing away from the bearing. Use an axle seal
tool (CCI P/N 1014162) and mallet to tap it in until it seats firmly in position (Figure 16b-6, Page 16b-4).
A hydraulic press may also be used with the axle seal tool.
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.
3. 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.
3.1. 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.
3.2. 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 16b-4, Page 16b-3).
3.3. 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.
