Axle Shaft Replacement
Carefully insert the axle shaft and bearing through the oil
seal. Rotate the shaft until the spline engages with the
differential side gears. Install the outer snap ring.
Coat the outboard spline of the axle with a commercially
available anti-seize compound. Install the brake hub and
drum, thrust washer, nut and new cotter pin (Ref Fig. 7
on page K-3).
Tighten the castellated axle nut to 70 ft. lbs. (95
Nm) torque minimum, 140 ft. lbs. (190 Nm)
torque maximum. Continue to tighten until the slot in the nut
aligns with the cotter pin hole.
