Axle Installation
1 Check the axle seal surface area for damage. Minor
scratches may be repaired using fine emery cloth.
2 Inspect the axle threads for damage. Replace axle if
the threads are non serviceable.(fig. C3799)
3 Inspect the splined teeth for wear. Replace the axle if
the splined teeth do not fit tightly into the sprocket spline.
4 Replace any axle studs as required.
5 Lubricate the axle oil seal with light grease.
6 Install the seal onto the axle. The seal part number
stamping must face the flange side of the axle. (fig.
C3699)

the axle. Be sure to support the axle up off the wheel
studs to prevent damaging the wheel studs. (fig. C3800)
