Unit Bearing Removal

If
it is necessary to remove the Unit Bearing as­
sembly from the axle shaft, the procedure outlined
below should be followed.

Caution:
Under no circumstances should axle shaft

retaining
rings or bearings be removed using a

torch,
because heat fed into the axle shaft bearing

journal
weakens this
area.

a.
Place the axle shaft assembly in a heavy vise.

Drill
a Vi inch [6,35 mm.]
hole
in the outside
diameter of the retainer ring to a depth approxi­ mately 3A the thickness of the retainer
ring.
DO

NOT
drill
all the way through the retainer ring because the
drill
could damage the axle shaft. After

drilling
the retainer
ring,
use a chisel positioned across the drilled
hole
and cut a
deep
groove
into
the retainer
ring.
This
will
enlarge bore of retainer
ring
or split the ring and permit it to be driven
off of the axle shaft. Refer to Fig. N-13.

b.
Using a hacksaw, cut through the oil seal, being

careful
not to damage the seal contact surface.
Remove oil seal from axle shaft.

Important:
Thoroughly lubricate W-343 puller
bolts

and
bolt contact points before attempting to remove

bearing
from axle shaft DO NOT USE

the inner bearing cup adjust the position of pinion

in
relation to the ring gear. The shims behind the outer bearing adjust the pinion inner and outer
bearing preload.
Install
the pinion as follows:

a.
Install
outer bearing cup using Tool W-264 on model 27 and W-126 on model 44 axles, as shown

in
Fig. N-25.
b.
Install
the inner bearing cup using Tool W-126
on model 27 axles, and Tool W-344 on model 44
axles to drive the cup
into
the housing.
c. Use Tool C-3095 to press the inner bearing
cone

and
roller
onto
the pinion shaft on axle Model 44.

Other

d.
Place the pinion in the housing and install a .065"
[1,651
mm.] shim, the inner
cone
and roller*

sleeve
SP-1997 from Tool W-162, and the pinion
nut.
e. Select the proper pinion adjusting
gauge
to obtain the correct reading for the differential model.

The
pinion adjusting fixture must first be set by the use of a master
gauge
which is included in the
W-99
Kit. Gauge block W-101-A-24 or SP5433 is stamped with the letter H which indicates it is used
to set the adjusting fixture on Model
27AF
axle differentials. Gauge block W-101-A-22 or SP5453 is stamped with the letters D, G, F, A, C, E and B.
Use the letter E for Model 44 axle differentials.
Tool
SP-5264 is used with the

i.
Seat the
gauge

and
swing the dial indicator through the differential
bearing bore as shown in
Fig.
N-29.

j.
The
lowest
reading indicates the center of the
differential bearing bore. At this point the dial indi­
cator should read the same as
mark
etched on the
pinion head. If the reading
does
not agree, add or
remove the shims behind the bearing cup until
the readings agree.

k.
The end of each pinion is etched with a plus
(+) number, a minus (—) number or zero (0)
number to indicate the
best
running position for
each particular gear set.
This
dimension is con­
trolled by shimming behind the inner pinion bear­ ing cup. Therefore if a pinion is etched (-f-2), this
pinion would require .002"
less
shims than a pinion
etched "0". By removing shims the mounting dis­
tance is increased which is just what a (+2) etch­
ing indicates. Or if a pinion is etched (—2), add
.002" more shims than would be required if the
pinion were etched "0". By adding .002" shims the mounting distance is decreased which is just what

a
(—2) etching indicates.

Note:
To increase the dial reading decrease shims;
to decrease the dial reading increase shims.

Example:
With a dial reading of minus .001" and
a
pinion marking of plus .002" remove .003" shims
to obtain a higher dial reading of plus .002"

I.
If the original ring and pinion set is to be re­
used, measure the old pinion shim pack and build a
new shim pack to this dimension. Collect shim pack
saved from teardown. Measure each shim separately 297

The
adjustment of the differential bearings is main­
tained by the use of shims placed
betwen
the dif­
ferential case and the differential bearing. Proce­
dure for adjusting bearing preload is as follows:

a.
Install
the differential case and bearings in the
axle housing without shims and with the bearing
cups snug.
b. Holding the ring gear in contact with the pinipn

and
using a screwdriver blade to
move
the differen­

tial
bearing cups toward the center, insert feeler

gauge
on each side
between
differential bearing cup and the axle housing.
There
should be only
.001" to .002"
[0,025
a 0,051 mm.] backlash
remaining with the feeler
gauge
inserted.

c.
After the shim pack requirement for each bear­
ing has
been
established remove the differential
assembly. Make up shim packs and
keep
them separated.

d.
Add an additional .015"
[0,381
mm.] thickness:
of shims to the pack on the
tooth
side of the ring gear.

e.
Place the differential bearing shim packs on the
differential case under each bearing.

POWR-LOK
DIFFERENTIAL

As
optional equipment, Powr-Lok was previously available on all
Jeep
Universal
models
equipped
with
semi-float
tapered
axle
shafts.
The Powr-Lok

differential
may be identified by a tag located on
the opposite
side
of the differential housing
from
the ratio tag (Fig. N-2) and
stamped
with
either a "T" or
with
the words, "USE
LIMITED
SLIP
FIG.
N-37—YOKE INSTALLING TOOL
DIFF.
LUBE
ONLY."
This differential is available

for
rear
axles
only.
Whenever a
replacement
or conversion Powr-Lok
differential
is to be installed in an axle which has

been
previously in
service
and acquired mileage, be
sure
to record the amount of backlash
between

the ring
gear
and pinion at the time of
disassembly.

When the axle is again
assembled
the ring
gear
and pinion must be set to this
same
amount of
back­

lash.

Axle
ratios and
speedometer
gear
application is very important. In
like
model
axles,
the ratio may
be
changed
by simply changing to the desired ring
gear
and pinion;
except
in the
case
of the
3.73:1

or higher ratios. When changing
from
a
3.73:1
or higher to 3.54 or lower ratio, or vice
versa,
the
differential
case
must
also
be
changed
on a
stand­

ard differential
assembly,
and the differential as­ sembly,
less
ring
gear
and pinion, when a Powr-Lok

differential
assembly
is involved. When changing
from
any ratio to
another,
it
will
also
be
necessary

to
change
speedometer
gears.
Speedometer
gears

for
Powr-Lok and
standard
differentials of the
same
ratio, are
interchangeable.
A complete
rear

axle
assembly
replacement
is
necessary,
if a con­
version
from
one type of differential
assembly
to
another
is desired.
Note: Powr-Lok differentials use a special
lubri­

cant.
Refer to the Lubrication Chart.

N-21.
Trouble Symptoms and
Possible
Causes
If
noises
such
as
chatter
are
detected,
when turning
a corner, the probable
reason
for this is that incor­
rect
gear
lubricant has
been
installed in the axle.

Axles
equipped
with
a
limited
slip differential require special lubricant. Refer to Lubrication
Sec­

tion,
Par. B-52.
Note: It may be
necessary
to use an additive to
attempt to eliminate
chatter.
If this is not
success­
ful
then
disassembly
and inspection of the differen­

tial
becomes
necessary.

Warning:
Extreme
care
must be exercised on a
Powr-Lok
equipped vehicle to be
sure
the transmis­
sion is in the neutral position
whenever
the
engine

is
started
with
one wheel jacked up. Otherwise the
vehicle may lurch unexpectedly and
fall
off the
jack.

f. Remove the pinion mate cross shafts, bevel
pinion mate gears, bevel side gears, and side gear

rings.

g.
Clean
all parts thoroughly in kerosene and dry

with
compressed air.

h.
Inspect all parts. Replace any items which ap­

pear
to be worn or damaged.

i.
Inspect the plate surfaces of the case halves, the
side gear rings, and the clutch friction plates and
discs for excessive wear or scoring.

j.
Inspect the pinion mate shaft and ramp
sur­

faces on the case for excessive wear and pitting,

k.
Inspect the pinion gear races that bear on the
side gear rings.

I.
Inspect the corresponding surfaces on the side
gear rings.

m.
Inspect the clutch plates and discs for cracks

and
distortion. In the
event
one or more of the

clutch
plates or discs
needs
replacing, replace the
entire stack of plates and discs on each side of
the pinions. These stacks are supplied in
sets.

The
differential case halves are not serviced. Should replacement be required, it is necesary to replace
the complete differential.

n.
Assemble the clutch friction plates, clutch
fric­

tion discs, and dished plates on the splined hub of each bevel side gear. Make sure the plates and
discs are installed in the proper relationship as shown in Fig. N-39. The dished plates in the plate

and
disc set are always assembled with the convex
side toward the case. As each part is reassembled

in
its proper position, it is necessary that it be lightly coated with
Powr-Lok
lubricant,

o.
Place each differential case
half
on its side and
install
the side gear rings with the plates and discs
assembled. The side gear ring
will
rotate with a slight drag when properly located in the case,
p.
With
the ring gear flange
half
of the differential
case in an upright position, assemble the bevel side gears, pinion mate cross shafts, and bevel pinion
mate gears.
Install
the remaining case
half
on the
ring
gear flange half. Make sure that all markings
coincide.

q.
Install
the differential case
bolts
and
turn
them

in
a few threads.

r.
Using axle shafts from the vehicle, align the
splines of the side gear, and the side gear
ring,

s.
With
these
axle shafts in position, tighten the

differential
case
bolts
evenly. Torque 35 to 45 lb-ft. [4,84 a 6,22 kg-m.].
t. Remove the axle shafts.

u.
Check
for proper assembly.
Each
pinion mate
cross shaft should be tight on its
ramp.
If there is

clearance
between
the cross shaft and the
ramp,

the clearance should be no more than .005" [0,127 mm.].

This
clearance should be equal on all four cross
shaft ends.
v. Reinstall the unit in the axle.

w.
Install
axle shafts as described in Par. N-2.
Other
service operations such as ring gear and
pinion replacement, or pinion and bearing adjust­ ments, are performed in the same manner as de- 302
