Power Train Disassembly & Assembly
Assemble the Spindle, Brake
Spider and Brake
To prevent serious eye injury, always wear safe
eye protection when you perform vehicle
maintenance or service.
1. Install two temporary studs (0.75 inch-10 threads,
approximately 4 inches long) into the axle housing
flange. Install the studs at the 11 o’clock and 1
o’clock positions.
When you apply some silicone gasket materials,
small amounts of acid vapor are present. To
prevent possible serious injury, the work area
must be well-ventilated. If the silicone gasket
material gets into your eyes, flush them with water
for 15 minutes. Have your eyes checked by a
doctor as soon as possible.
2. Apply a 0.125 inch (3.18 mm) diameter continuous
bead of silicone gasket material (Three Bond 1216
or Loctite 5699) around the flange mounting face
of either the axle housing or the spindle. Also
apply the gasket material around the edge of all
the fastener holes on that surface.
3. Align flange flats and install the spindle onto the
axle housing.
4. Install the brake spider onto the spindle (30).
5. Install and hand tighten some of the spindle
mounting capscrews (31) and washers (32).
6. Remove the two temporary studs.
7. Install the remaining spindle mounting capscrews
and washers. Tighten all capscrews and washers
to 375-430 lb•ft (508-583 N•m).
NOTE : Replace the camshaft bushing and grease
seals before the camshaft bracket is installed onto
the brake spider. Refer to the brake section of this
manual.
8. Install the brake camshaft bracket with the O-ring
on the pilot onto the brake spider.
9. Install the four mounting capscrews and washers.
Tighten the capscrews to 85-115 lb•ft (115-156
N•m).
