11. The spring is captive on the front axle weldment.
See Figure 4.29.
12. To install the front axle, position the tail fo the spring
into the locator slot.
• The hook end of the spring should be between
the elbow in the front axle weldment and the
plastic front axle cover.
• The elbow bend in the front axle should be ori-
ented to the rear.
• Torsion force from the spring should cause the
axle to pivot, pushing the stub axle toward the
ground, applying lifting force to the deck.
See Figure 4.30.
13. Push the axle assembly past the plastic spring tabs,
into the pocket that locates it in the front axle cover.
14. When the axle is in position, secure it with the axle
retainers. See Figure 4.31.
NOTE: The axle retainers are off-set. When
installed correctly, the outboard edge of the
retainers fits flush against the inside edge of
the front axle cover.
NOTE: Tighten the screws that hold the axle retain-
ers to a new front axle cover to 30-40 in-lbs
(3.5-4.5 Nm).
