Lubricate spring pins using a lithium based grease with
EP additives and the consistency of NLG1 No.2. Fill
grease until old grease has been pushed out past the
seal on both sides and new grease can be seen flowing.
If grease is not flowing through, use a prybar to lever
down the spring ends to open up for the grease to flow.
To perform this procedure the axle must be free hanging.
Refer to the proper Service Publication in Function
Group 7.
Wear tolerance for the spring pin and bushing is 5 mm
(3/16 in.).
