Axle Shaft and Oil Seal Removal, Continued:
3. Use 90° internal snap ring pliers to remove the internal retaining ring (6) from the axle tube
(Figure 16b-4, Page 16b-3). See also Figure 16b-1, Page 16b-2.
4. Remove the axle, retaining ring, and bearing assembly by pulling the axle straight out of the housing.
5. Use a 16-inch (40 cm) rolling wedge bar (Figure 16b-2, Page 16b-2) to remove oil seal. Insert the wedge
bar underneath the seal lip and pry out oil seal (17) (Figure 16b-3, Page 16b-2). See following CAU-
TION.
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.
6. Inspect the axle shaft assembly to be sure the bearing and collar have not slipped and are still seated
against the shoulder on the axle shaft.
7. Inspect bearing (5) (Figure 16b-4, Page 16b-3). If the bearing is worn or damaged, replace it.
