LONG STUB SHAFT SEAL REPLACEMENT
If it has been diagnosed that the long stub shaft
seal is leaking, the following procedure can be used
to replace failed seal. This procedure will allow the
replacement of the seals without having to set back-
lash and measure differential bearing turning torque.
CAUTION: The differential bearings and the differ-
ential adjusters must be reused in order to use this
procedure. If any of the items listed above require
replacement, this procedure cannot be used. Refer
to Differential Recondition section of this manual.
(1) Remove transaxle from vehicle. Refer to Tran-
saxle Removal and Installation procedure in this sec-
tion.
(2) Remove long stub shaft from transaxle (Fig.
110).
To replace the long stub shaft bearing, install stub
shaft in soft-jawed vise. Remove the stub shaft bear-
ing C-clip (Fig. 111). Install bearing splitter onto the
shaft. Install Special Tool # P-334 under the bearing.
Using a shop press, remove the bearing from the
stub shaft (Fig. 112).
To install the stub shaft bearing, position new
bearing onto the stub shaft. Install stub shaft into
shop press. Position Special Tool # 6558 above bear-
ing. Press bearing onto shaft (Fig. 113).
(3) Index the inner differential adjuster with a
cross hair as shown in (Fig. 114).
CAUTION: If short stub shaft has corrosion, use
caution when removing differential cover. Inspect
seal and shaft for damage after removal of cover.
Replace shaft and/or seal as required.
(4) Index outer adjuster (Fig. 115). Remove lock
bracket and back out adjuster exactly one revolution.
Then remove differential cover.
(5) Remove The inner adjuster lock bracket. Then
remove the inner adjuster.
CAUTION: Keep the inner adjuster for reinstalla-
tion.
(6) Lube inner adjuster threads with gear oil and
reinstall to the cross haired index marks.
(7) Install the differential carrier. Then install
stub shaft seal protector.
(8) Install the differential cover/outer adjuster
assembly with sealant applied. Install and tighten
differential cover bolts.
