Axle Shaft Disassembly and Wheel Bearing Service
NOTE: When servicing the bearing and seal area of the
axle shaft, it is recommended that you replace hex head
screws and flange nuts with socket head screws (94-
6934), washers (94-6936) and nuts (94-6935). See
Figure 18.
1. After the wheel has been removed, slide the brake
dr
um off of the axle flange (Fig. 5).
NOTE: It may be necessary to loosen the brake shoes
by
turning the star wheel inside the brake drum assemb-
ly. (See Chapter 7 - Steering and Brakes.)

2. Line up the hole in the axle shaft flange and remove
the backing plate nuts which hold the axle shaft assemb-
ly to the axle housing. Use a 1/2 inch socket wrench
(Fig. 6).

3. Pull out the axle shaft and brake assembly (Fig. 7).
NOTE: Bearing races and retainer ring are cemented
together with an epoxy adhesive. If the bearing and race
come apart, remove the bearing cup from the housing
with a puller.
