CAUTION
• Do not scar or damage the inside surfaces of the tube when removing the oil seal. A damaged
tube might have to be replaced.
9. Inspect the axle shaft assembly to be sure the bearing (71) and collar (73) have not slipped and are still
seated against the shoulder on the axle shaft (Figure 16-6, Page 16-5) .
10. Inspect the bearing. If the bearing is damaged or worn, replace it.
AXLE BEARING
Axle Bearing Removal
1. Use external retaining ring pliers (0.047-inch tip) to remove the retaining ring (74). Place a bearing puller
wedge attachment (CCI P/N 1012812) on the axle shaft between the wheel mounting flange and the
bearing
(Figure 16-6, Page 16-5) . See also Figure 16-7, Page 16-7 . See following CAUTION.
CAUTION
• Do not tighten the bearing puller wedge attachment against the axle shaft. This could damage
the axle shaft when pressing the bearing and collar off.
2. Press the bearing (71) and collar (73) off together (Figure 16-6, Page 16-5). See also Figure 16-7,
Page 16-7 . See following NOTE.
NOTE: It may be necessary to heat the collar to remove it.
Do not remove the large axle retaining ring (70) from the axle (Figure 16-6, Page 16-5) . Since the
inner diameter of the retaining ring (70) is smaller than the outer diameter of the bearing (71), the
ring must be in place on the axle before a new bearing and collar are pressed on.
