Installing the Axle Shafts
1. Remove the covers from the wheel ends.
2. Shift the differential lock to the unlocked (disengaged) position.
3. Install the axle shafts.
• Place the gaskets on the wheel hub studs.
• Push the right-hand axle shaft and gasket into the wheel end and
housing until the shaft stops against the differential shift collar.
• Push down and in on the axle shaft flange and rotate the shaft
until the splines of the shaft and shift collar are engaged.
• Push the axle shaft further into the housing until the shaft stops
against the differential side gear.
• Push down on the axle shaft flange and rotate the shaft until the
splines of the shaft and side gear engage.
• Push the axle shaft completely into the housing until the axle
shaft flange and the gasket are flush against the wheel hub.
• Install the left-hand axle shaft and gasket into the wheel end.
4. If tapered dowels are required, install them at each stud and into the
flange of the axle shaft. Use a punch or drift and hammer, if needed.
5. Install the fasteners and tighten to correct torque value. See the
Workshop Manual.
