Axle Shaft and Oil Seal Installation
1. If previously removed, install a new oil seal.
1.1. Clean seal seat in the adapter ring (39) (Figure 16a-3, Page 16a-2).
1.2. Place a new seal (15) in the adapter ring with the seal lip facing toward the adapter ring lip
(Figure 16a-3, Page 16a-2). Use an axle seal tool (CCI P/N 1014162) and mallet to tap it in until
it seats firmly in position (Figure 16a-3, Page 16a-2). A hydraulic press may also be used with the
axle seal tool.
1.3. Clean adapter ring seat(s) in the axle tube (14 or 35) (Figure 16a-5, Page 16a-3).
1.4. Apply Loctite
®
603 to the outer diameter of the adapter ring.
1.5. Place the oil seal and adapter ring assembly into the axle tube with the seal lip facing away from
the bearing (Figure 16a-4, Page 16a-2). Use an axle seal tool (CCI P/N 1014162) and mallet to tap
it in until it seats firmly in position. See following CAUTION.

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.
2. 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 (27) (Figure 16a-5, Page 16a-3). Con-
tinue advancing the shaft until the bearing seats against the axle tube shoulder.
3. Use a pair of snap ring pliers to install the retaining ring (6) inside axle tube (Figure 16a-5, Page 16a-3).
See following NOTE.
NOTE: If the retaining ring (6), axle bearing (5), or sleeve (4) must be replaced, the entire axle shaft
assembly (1 or 2) must be replaced (Figure 16a-5, Page 16a-3).
4. Place a 1/4 to 3/8-inch (6 to 10 mm) diameter rod against the retaining ring and tap lightly at four to five
locations around the retaining ring to ensure it is properly seated. See following WARNING.
∆
WARNING
• Be sure 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 control could result, causing severe personal injury.
5. If a new oil seal was installed, allow 24 hours before operating the vehicle to allow the Loctite
®
603 to fully
cure.
AXLE BEARING
Do not remove the axle bearing (5) from a Type G transaxle. If bearing is worn or damaged, the entire axle
assembly (1 or 2) must be replaced (Figure 16a-5, Page 16a-3).
