Axle Bearing Installation
1. Ensure that the retaining ring (70) is loosely placed on the axle shaft. See preceding NOTE.
2. Install a new axle bearing (71) on axle (67 or 68). Push bearing onto axle until bearing is flush against
axle shoulder (Figure 16-6, Page 16-5) .
3. Apply two drops of Loctite 271
®
to inside of the collar. See following CAUTION.
CAUTION
• Apply Loctite 271 to the inside of the collar only, not to the shaft, so that the Loctite will be
pushed away from the bearing as the collar and bearing are pressed on. If Loctite gets on or in
the bearing, the bearing must be replaced.
• The collar should be removed no more than two times. If a collar is removed a third time, the
shaft and collar will not fit properly.
4. Place a new sealed bearing (71) on shaft (67 or 68) (Figure 16-6, Page 16-5) .
5. Install collar (73) onto axle shaft. Place axle assembly on bearing puller wedge attachment and press col-
lar onto axle.
6. Place the bearing puller wedge attachment against collar and press both bearing and collar onto shaft.
See following CAUTION.
CAUTION
• 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. This could damage
the axle shaft when the bearing and collar are pressed on.
7. Use external snap ring pliers (0.047-inch tip) to install collar retaining ring (74) (Figure 16-6, Page 16-5) .
AXLE SHAFT INSTALLATION
1. Clean bearing and seal seats in axle tube (75 or 76) (Figure 16-6, Page 16-5) .
2. Place a new oil seal (72) in axle tube with seal lip facing inside of the axle tube (Figure 16-6, Page 16-5) .
Use an axle seal tool (CCI P/N 1014162) to press it in until it seats firmly in position (Figure 16-8,
Page 16-7) . See following NOTE.
NOTE: The new seal can be installed by tapping the axle seal tool with a mallet.
CAUTION
• Clean any residual oil from the exposed end of the axle shaft and from the oil seal area prior to
installing the axle shaft.
3. Clean the axle shaft and 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. Install the bearing retaining ring (70) in the axle tube (Figure 16-6, Page 16-5). See also Figure 16-3,
