SS5-36/SS5-46/MX-600 Removing and Servicing the Rear Axle
This specific procedure does not require that the rear end or drive assembly be
removed in order to complete. Refer to the illustration on the following page.
1. Raise and support the rear of the vehicle with a hoist or other suitable
lifting device.
2. Remove the tire and wheel assembly.
3. Remove the four bolts attached to the axle retaining plate.
4. Pull the axle out of the housing.
5. Remove the bearing gasket.
6. Inspect all bearings for roughness or play. Replace the bearings as
needed.
7. Inspect the axle for metal fatigue.
8. Install a new rear axle in reverse order.
Always use a lifting strap, hoist and jack stands of adequate
capacity to lift and support the vehicle. Failure to use lifting and
supporting devices of rated load capacity to support the vehicle
may result in serious injury and property damage.
