7. Repeat step #4 for the outer bearing systems. Outer bearings must be installed so the set screws are facing
away from the vehicle, opposite of the inner bearing. The bearing system closest to the body goes inside the
bearing box, while the outer bearing system goes on the inside (Figure-1).
8. Now all of the bearings are loosely assembled onto the Mudd-Ox. Begin to slide the axle into the outer assem-
blies. Once it reaches the inside of the tub, begin to reassemble all axle spacers, sprockets, and sprocket keys
in the same order in which they were removed. Continue to push the axle inwards while assembling. Note: Be
aware of hand positions and prevent injury.
9. Ensure the axle is completely through all bearing assemblies. Reverse Removal step #9 to tighten all bearing
flange bolts.
10. Next are the grease zerks:
A. If the Mudd-Ox is not equipped with relocated grease zerks: Move to step #11.
B. If the Mudd-Ox is equipped with relocated grease zerks: Reverse Removal step #8 B.
11. Reverse Removal step #5 to reinstall the axle end bolt. Note: Do not overtighten the bolt as it can break inside
the axle, causing the need to remove entire assembly again to repair.
12. Reverse Removal step #6 to tighten all bearing set screws.
13. Reverse Removal step #7 to tighten all sprocket set screws.
14. See Greasing Axle Bearings under Bearings to grease the new bearings.
15. See Installation under Chains to reinstall the chain(s).
16. See Wheel Installation under Tires/Wheels to reinstall the wheel.
