FRONT AXLE
The front axles are of the Elliot type with the spindles
mounted on hardened and ground steel bushings with ball bear-
ings to carry the thrust load.
The axle centers are drop forged steel, while the spindles,
spindle pins and steering arms are of heat treated alloy steel.
The axles of the 1934 and 1935 models are mounted to the
chassis through the springs only. The standard axle has a one
piece forged axle center (1) while the axleflex type also used in
1934 and 1935, has two end forgings (23 and 24) connected
through needle roller bearings to two center links (22).
The Axleflex needle bearings can be lubricated by removing the
8 screws (31) from the bearing cups (28) and injecting viscous
grease. This should be done every 10,000 miles.
Disassembly of Axleflex Bearings
1. Remove cap screws (31).
2. Remove the lock rings (30).
3. Insert a brass drift through the hole in the front bearing cup
(28) and drive the pin back forcing rear cup and bearing out.
4. Place drift against rear end of pin (25) and drive pin forward
until the forward bearing is driven out.
5. Continue driving until the pin is removed.
Reassembling Axleflex Bearing
6. Drive pin into position.
7. Put thrust washers and new seals (29) on pin.
8. Fill bearing cup (28) with viscous grease and put 28 rollers
(26) in order in the cup.
9. Turn axle so cups can be started on pins in an upward
direction then press in place.
10. Insert lock rings (30).
11. Insert screws (31) and washers.
Removal of Front Axle
The 1936 and 1937 axles are attached to the chassis both by
the front springs and torque arms. Figure 1503 shows the 1936
type with forged torque arms (54), attached to the axle center
through a yoke (58). The 1937 torque arms are also forged but
are bolted directly to the axle center (Figure 1504).
8. Jack up front of car with a' roller jack under the front axle and
place two stand jacks under the frame side rail just back of the
torque arm frame brackets, Figure 1504. Lower roller jack until
car
