CAUTION
• If the bearing was removed from the shaft, replace bearing with a new one.
4. Place the bearing puller wedge attachment against the collar and press on both the bearing and collar.
See following CAUTION.
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.
5. Install retaining ring (7) into the groove on the axle shaft (Figure 16b-4, Page 16b-3).
Axle Shaft and Oil Seal Installation
1. Clean bearing and seal seats in the axle tube (16 or 40) (Figure 16b-4, Page 16b-3).
2. Place a new seal (17) in the axle tube with the seal lip facing away from the bearing. Use an axle seal
tool (CCI P/N 1014162) and mallet to tap it in until it seats firmly in position (Figure 16b-6, Page 16b-4).
A hydraulic press may also be used with the axle seal tool. 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.
3. 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 (37) (Figure 16b-4, Page 16b-3). Con-
tinue advancing the shaft until the bearing seats against the axle tube shoulder.
4. Use a pair of snap ring pliers to install the retaining ring (6) inside axle tube (Figure 16b-4, Page 16b-3).
5. 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.
