5.9-8 Oscillating Cylinder Replacement
CAUTION
The oscillating axle cylinder weighs approximately
43 lbs (19.5 kg), so a second person to assist with
the removal and replacement would be helpful.
1.
Wedge a block of wood between the front
axle and the chassis, to prevent the axle from
oscillating during the procedure.
2.
Remove and set aside the base cover from the
oscillating axle end of the chassis.
With
a rag in hand to catch any leaking oil, slowly
loosen the bleeder screw to release any trapped
air within the cylinder, then tighten it again.
Slowly loosen the oscillating axle cylinder hoses
to release the pressure, then disconnect them
fully, being sure to plug the hose ends.
3.
Remove and set aside the cylinder fittings,
ensuring they stay clean.
4.
Remove and throw away the bolts and washers
securing the cylinder to the chassis. Lift the
cylinder away.
5.
Lift a new cylinder into place and install new
bolts (0.5”-13 x 1.75” grade 8) and 0.50”
hardened washers, applying liquid blue Loctite
242 or 243 to the lower half of the bolts before
installing them. Hand tighten the bolts.
