How to Shim an Extendable Axle
Measure each wear pad. Replace
the wear pad if it is less than

inch / 11 mm thick. If the wear
pad is
7
/
16
inch / 11 mm thick or
more, perform the following
procedure.
1 Fully extend the axle.
2 Remove the wear pad retaining fasteners.
Side wear pads:
3 Install the new shims under the wear pad to
obtain zero clearance and zero drag.
4 Use a round punch through the wear pad
mounting holes to align the shims with the wear
pad. Install the wear pad retaining fasteners.
5 Extend and retract the axle through an entire
cycle. Check for tight spots that could cause
binding or scraping of the axle tubes.
Always maintain squareness
between the inner and outer axle
tubes.

axle that needs to be shimmed. Do not raise the
machine.

machine.
5 Raise the machine just until the weight of the
machine is relieved off of the axle. Do not raise
the wheels off of the ground.
