Installing the Axle Bearing, Continued:
3. Place a new (sealed) bearing (71) and collar (73) on the shaft (67 or 68) (Figure 10-6, Page 39).
4. Place the bearing puller wedge attachment against the collar and press both the bearing and collar on,
then install the retaining ring (74).
INSTALLING THE AXLE SHAFT
1. Clean the bearing and seal seats in the axle tube (75 or 76) (Figure 10-6, Page 39).
2. Place a new seal (72) (Figure 10-6) in the axle tube with seal lip facing away from the bearing. Use an
axle seal tool (Club Car Part No. 1014162) to press it in until it seats firmly in position (Figure 10-8).
3. Clean the shaft splines and then insert the shaft, splined end first, through the seal and into the axle
tube. Be careful not to damage the seal. Then advance the shaft through the inner bearing and rotate
it to align the shaft splines with the splined bore of the differential side gear. Continue advancing the
shaft until the bearing seats against the axle tube shoulder.
4. Using snap ring pliers, install the retaining ring (70) (Figure 10-6) in the axle tube (See Figure 10-9).
5. Place a 1/4” to 3/8” (6 to 10 mm) diameter rod against the retaining ring and tap lightly at four to five
locations to insure that it is properly seated.
• IF THE BEARING WAS REMOVED FROM THE SHAFT, REPLACE IT WITH A NEW ONE.
• DO NOT TIGHTEN THE BEARING PULLER WEDGE ATTACHMENT AGAINST THE AXLE SHAFT
IN STEP 4. THIS COULD DAMAGE THE AXLE SHAFT WHEN THE BEARING AND COLLAR ARE
PRESSED ON.
• THE NEW SEAL CAN BE INSTALLED BY TAPPING THE AXLE SEAL TOOL WITH A MALLET.
• BE SURE THAT THE RETAINING RING IS PROPERLY SEATED IN ITS GROOVE. IF THE RING IS
NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED, THE AXLE ASSEMBLY WILL SEPARATE FROM THE TRANSAXLE
AND DAMAGE THE AXLE ASSEMBLY AND OTHER COMPONENTS. LOSS OF VEHICLE CON-
TROL COULD RESULT, CAUSING SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY.
