FRONT AXLE REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
Installation
1. Raise the front of the vehicle so that the hole for
the axle is the same height as the front wheel hub.
2. Assemble the bearing spacers into the front wheel
hub and place the front wheel into the fork.
3. Insert the axle into the front fork.
4. Install the axle nut(s). Refer to
Adjust Front
Wheel Bearings
section for information
regarding tightening the front axle.
NOTE: If your vehicle is equipped with two axle nuts,
the nuts should be tightened equally so that the
same number of axle threads are visible on both
ends.
5. Lower the vehicle.
6. Reconnect the main positive and negative cables
at the batteries.
7. Remove the blocks from behind the wheels.
8. Release the park brake and test drive the vehicle.
1. Make sure the key-switch is in the “OFF”
position, then remove the key.
2. Place the forward-reverse switch in the
center “OFF” position.
3. Set the park brake.
4. Place blocks under the front wheels to
prevent vehicle movement.
5. Disconnect the main positive and
negative cables at the batteries.
Always use a lifting strap, hoist, and jack
stands, of adequate capacity to lift and
support the vehicle. Failure to use lifting
and support devices of rated load capacity
may result in severe bodily injury.
