2F-2Q AXLES
90 for standard axles. Use Jeep Trac-Lok Lubricant or
equivalent in Trac-Lok axles.
When adding differential lubricant, be sure the pinion
bearings receive lubricant. Suspend the axle so the axle
shafts are in a horizontal position and the yoke end of
the pinion housing is facing downward. Then, turn the
pinion gear several times so lubricant will reach the
pinion bearings.
(1) Support axle assembly on hydraulic jack and
position axle under vehicle.
(2) Align springs with axle spring pads, and install
U-bolts and nuts. On vehicles with spring mounted
above axle, position spring on shackles and install bolts
but do not tighten bolts completely.
(3) Attach brake line hose at tee fitting on top of
housing.
(4) Connect parking brake cables.
(5) Connect shock absorbers to axle tubes.
(6) Install propeller shaft. Align reference marks
made during removal.
(7) Bleed and adjust brakes. Refer to Chapter 2G.
(8) Install brakedrums and wheels.
(9) Remove supports and lower vehicle.
(10) Check axle lubricant level and add lubricant as
necessary.
