Using snap ring pliers, remove the bearing retaining ring
(1) from the end of axle tube (2) (Figure 6).
Carefully pull the axle shaft (3) and bearing out of the
tube.
Using a 14 mm socket, remove the hardware (4) attach-
ing the axle tube to the casing and carefully lift the tube
from the casing studs.
Using seal puller, remove the axle shaft seal (5) from the
casing.
Use care to decrease the risk of damage to the inner
surface of axle tube at the sealing area.
Replace the seal by lightly tapping around the circumfer-
ence with a plastic faced hammer. Tighten bolts (4) to 26 -
31 ft. lbs. (35 - 42 Nm) torque.
Axle Shaft Replacement
Carefully insert the axle shaft and bearing through the oil
seal. Rotate the shaft until the spline engages with the dif-
ferential side gears. Install the outer snap ring.
Coat the outboard spline of the axle with an anti-seize
compound. Install the brake hub and drum, thrust washer,
nut and new cotter pin (Figure 7).
Tighten the castellated axle nut to 70 ft. lbs. (95 Nm)
torque minimum. Continue to tighten until the slot in the
nut aligns with the cotter pin hole.
