shafts. Thoroughly clean the universal joints and
housings and refill the housings with universal
joint lubricant. Use No. 1 for summer and No. 0
for winter.
B-·12. Steering Gear
Check the lubricant level in the steering gear hous-
ing at each 1000 miles [1.600 km.] to be sure that
the lubricant is at filler plug opening level. Should
lubricant be ::equired fill the housing slowly with
a hand compressor. Do not overlook replacing the
fill plug.
B-13. Front Wheel Bearings
Seasonally, or at each 6000 miles [9.600 km.],
(10,000 miles [16.000 km.] for the Dispatcher), re-
move the front wheels and repack the bearings
with wheel bearing grease. Work the grease into
the cage lwlding the rollers.
Follow this same procedure for wheel bearings
for 23-2 (full-floating) rear axle installed on early
CJ-2A Models.
B-14. Rear Wheel Bearings
The rear wheel bearings are equipped with lubri-
cation fittings with a vent opening through the
housings above each fitting. Lubricate each 1000
miles [1.600 km.J. Use a hand compressor and wheel
hearing grease, forcing the grease through each lu-
brication fitting until it flows from the vent. Vent
should be kept dear of obstruction or grease will
0ack up into the brakes. Do not add grease after
it flows from the vent for it may be forced through
the wheel keyway onto the outside of the wheel
and possibly onto the brake linings.
For Model CJ-2A "Nith 23-2 (full-floating) rear
:txle fD'.low the 1Jrocedure of Par. B-11 for removing
fc:nc n:packing the rear wheel bearings.

,:·i&rd s!1ifting of the gears in cold weather is a
:)ositive indication that the lubricant 1s too heavy
a g:rs.de or the quality al.lows it to congeal at the
prevailing temperature. If the oil is too heavy for
el:'.sy shifting it will not properly lubricate the
cl,Jsely fitted parts. Change the lubricant to a
iighter grade.

B-17. Optional 4-Speed Transmission
emd Transfer Case
• Models CJ-5 and CJ-6
The four-speed transmission and transfer case re-
quire separate lubrication for each unit as they
have no cross-over oil passage. At each transmission
~:ervice check, the fill plugs of both four-speed
transmission and transfer case should be pulled
and the lubricant refilled to level if necessary.
E!-18. Front and Rear Axle Differentials
Check the level in each unit every 1000 miles
[1.600 km.] to be sure that they are filled to the
level of the filler plug openings. Drain and refill
the housings every 10,000 miles [16.000 km.].
Do not mix different types of lubricants. Use a.
light engine or flushing oil to clean out the hous-
ings. Do not use water, steam, kerosene or gaso-
line for flushing.
B-19. Powr-!Lok Differential
Some vehicles are equipped with locking differentiai
{optional equipment). For identification of this
unit, see Par. N-15. Ordinary lubricants must
not be used in the locking differential. Use only
'Nillys Powr-Lok Differential Oil, Part No. 94557,
furnished in pint cans.
?owr-Lok differential may be cleaned only by
disassembling the unit and wiping with dean rags.
Do not flush the Powr-Lok unit.
3-20. Distributor
The distributor shaft is lubricated through an
oiler mounted en the side of the housing. Place
~hree cr four drops of light engine oil in the oiler
'~ach 1000 miles [ 1.600 km.j. Also place one drop
of light engine oil on the "vvick located on the top
cf the .shaft. which is made accessible by removing
Lhe rotor arm. Sparingly apply cam lubricant to the
ixeaker arm cam and place a drop of oil on the
!Jreake:r arm pivot.

3-22. Oil Filter
After the initial change specified in Par. B-5, clean
the oil filter and replace the element at each 6000
miles [9.600 km.] of normal vehicle use. Oil filter
servicing should be performed at the same time
as one of the regular engine oil changes. At that
time be sure to add one quart [1 ltr.] to the engine
::::il change requirement.
