The rear axle is a precision
assembly, and therefore any
repair or replacement of parts
must be done with extreme care
in a clean environment. Before attempting to per-
form any service on the axle, read and understand
all of the following text and illustrations before dis-
assembling the unit.
Handle all splines with extreme care. O-rings must
be removed/installed with care to decrease the risk
of damage to bearings, seals and bearing bores.
NOTICE: It is recommended that whenever a bear-
ing, seal or O-ring is removed, it be replaced with a
new one regardless of mileage. Always wipe the
seals and O-rings with a light oil before installing.
To decrease the risk of personal
injury, follow the lifting proce-
dure in SAFETY section of this
manual. Place wheel chocks in
front and behind the front wheels and check the
stability of the vehicle on the jack stands before
starting any repair procedure. Never work on a
vehicle that is supported by a jack alone.
