AXLE BEARING
Axle Bearing Removal
1. Remove the retaining ring (7) from the axle shaft (Figure 16b-4, Page 16b-3).
2. Place a bearing puller wedge attachment (CCI P/N 1012812) on the axle shaft between the wheel mount-
ing flange and the bearing.
3. Press bearing (5) and collar (4) off together (Figure 16b-5, Page 16b-4). See following CAUTION and
NOTE.
CAUTION
• Do not tighten the bearing puller wedge attachment against the axle shaft. This could damage
the axle shaft when pressing off the bearing and collar.
NOTE: It may be necessary to heat the collar before the collar can be removed.
Axle Bearing Installation
1. If removed, place retaining ring (6) on axle shaft (1 or 2) (Figure 16b-4, Page 16b-3). The retaining ring
will be loose on the axle shaft until it is installed into the axle tube.
2. Apply two drops of Loctite
®
271 to the inside of the collar. See following CAUTION.
CAUTION
• Apply Loctite
®
271 to inside of collar only, not to the shaft, so 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 bearing is removed a third time, the
shaft and collar will not give a proper fit.
3. Place the bearing and the collar on the shaft (note, this is a sealed bearing). See following CAUTION.
