(8) Brass Drift Method
! WARNING
Do not strike the round driving lugs on the flange of an axle shaft.
Pieces can break off and cause serious personal injury.
a. Hold a 1-1/2-inch diameter brass drift or brass hammer against
the center of the axle shaft, inside the round driving lugs.
b. Strike the end of the drift with a large hammer, five to six pounds,
and the axle shaft and tapered dowels will loosen.
c. Mark each axle shaft before it is removed from the axle assembly.
d. Remove the tapered dowels and separate the axle shafts from the
main axle hub assembly.
e. Install a cover over the open end of each axle assembly hub
where an axle shaft was removed.
(9) Air Hammer Vibration Method
! WARNING
Wear safe eye protection when using an air hammer. When using
power tools, axle components can loosen and break off causing seri-
ous personal injury.
! CAUTION
Do not use a chisel or wedge to loosen the axle shaft and tapered
dowels. Using a chisel or wedge can result in damage to the axle
shaft, the gasket and seal, and the axle hub.
a. Use a round hammer bit and an air hammer to loosen tapered
dowels and axle shaft.
b. Place the round hammer bit against the axle shaft or flange
between the hub studs. Operate the air hammer at alternate loca-
tions between the studs to loosen the tapered dowels and axle
shaft from the hub.
c. Mark each axle shaft before it is removed from the axle assembly.
d. Remove the tapered dowels and separate the axle shaft from the
main axle hub assembly.
