Assembly
1. Install the planetary spider and gearing assembly
onto the wheel hub (23). For correct installation,
the planetary pinions (9) must engage both the
sun gear (13) and the ring gear (15) before
intstallation.
2. Install the five slotted head screws (5) that attach
the planetary spider (3) to the wheel hub (23).
Hand tighten the screws. Seat the head of each
screw below the sruface of the spider flange.
3. Install the brake drum (1) over the wheel studs
until the drum seats onto the planetary spider
flange (3).
4. Mount the inner and outer wheels. Install the
wheel nuts and tighten them to the specification.
5. Add the correct axle lubricant into each wheel end
through the fill/level hole in the planetary spider (3)
at the horizontal position (3 or 9 o’clock).
6. Add the correct lubricant to the axle housing bowl
area.
NOTE : This is a common lubricant axle. Add
lubricant at the three locations until it runs out of the
fill/level holes.
7. Apply sealant to the threads of the fill/level plugs.
8. Install the fill/level plugs and tighten to 35 lb•ft (47
