7. IN-FRAME REPAIRS: DROP-AXLE REMOVAL
7.1. The drop axle assembly can also be removed
complete.
7.2. If working on the left side drop axle, disconnect
the cylinder mounting stud from the steering arm
using a 24 mm wrench to hold the bottom nut
and a 1 1/16” wrench to turn the top nut.
7.3. Remove the nut from the tie rod end, using a 19
mm wrench for the nut and a 17 mm wrench to
hold the stud. See Figure 7.3.
7.4. Support the drop axle housing, and remove the
four bolts that hold the steering arm to the king
pin housing using a 17 mm wrench.
See Figure 7.4.
7.5. Lift the steering arm off of the kingpin housing
and the stud for the steering cylinder.
See Figure 7.5.
7.6. At this point, the most common service proce-
dure will be to remove the kingpin housing and
drop axle housing as a unit.
7.7. If there is obvious damage that is isolated to the
drop axle housing, it is possible to separate the
two at this point without removing the kingpin
housing.
7.8. Grip the stub shaft and pull it out of the kingpin
housing. It is retained by the friction of a rubber
o-ring that also serves as a seal.
See Figure 7.8.
