REAR AXLE
GENERAL INFORMATION
If steering cylinder, brakes or differential repairs are
required, the axle assembly must be removed from
the chassis. If only axle steering knuckle or outboard
planetary service is required, the axle assembly will
not require removal from the chassis.
Procedures used to remove the axle will depend on
machine location and the type of lifting equipment
available. The following axle removal and installation
procedures, using two 10-ton hydraulic bottle jacks
for lifting the machine, and a 5-ton floor jack to lift and
lower the axle assembly, can be done in the field or in
the shop. The machine must be parked on a solid
and level surface.
