REMOVAL

1.
Raise the vehicle on a hoist.

2.
Remove the wheels and tires

from the brake drums.

3.
Position a drain pan and loosen

the rear axle cover to housing attach-

ing bolts. Drain the housing.

4.
Remove the attaching (Tinner-

man) nuts that secure the brake drums

to the axle shaft flanges, and then re-

move the drums (Fig. 7).

5.
Remove the axle housing cover

bolts,
cover and gasket. Discard the

gasket. Remove the drain pan.

6. Disconnect the drive shaft at the

drive pinion companion flange. Re-

move the drive shaft from the trans-

mission extension housing. Install an

oil seal replacer tool in the transmis-

sion housing to prevent leakage. Refer

to the transmission group for the ap-

propriate tool.

7.
Disconnect the lower end of the

shock absorbers at the mounting

brackets.

8. Disconnect the track bar from

the axle housing stud. If the axle

housing is to be replaced, transfer the

stud to the new housing.

9. Position safety stands under the

rear frame members. Lower the vehi-

cle with the hoist and allow the axle

to lower far enough to relieve rear

spring tension.

10.
Remove the pinion shaft lock

bolt and pinion shaft (Fig. 2), differ-

ential pinion gears and thrust washers.

11.
Push the axle shaft(s) inward

toward the center of the axle housing.

Remove the C-locks from the inner

ends of the axles (Fig. 3). Remove the

axle shafts from the housing. Extreme

care must be used to avoid contacting

the axle shaft seal lip with any portion

of the axle shaft other than the seal

journal.

12.
Disconnect the vent hose from

the rear vent tube and remove all

brake lines from the axle housing re-

taining clips.

13.
Remove the brake backing

plate attaching nuts and the plates

from the axle housing. Suspend the

plates above the axle housing with

mechanics wire. The hydraulic brake

lines and the parking brake cables will

remain attached to the brake backing

plates.
14.
Support the rear axle housine

on a jack.

15.
Remove the right and left rear

springs and insulators.

16.
Remove the nuts, washers and

pivot bolts that connect the suspension

lower arms to the axle housing. Dis-

connect both arms from the axle

housing.

17.
Disconnect the upper suspen-

sion arm from the axle housing by re-

moving the pivot bolt, nut, lock wash-

er and two eccentric washers.

18.
Lower the rear axle to the floor

with the jack and remove the axle

from under the vehicle.

19.
Remove the wheel bearings and

oil seals with the tool shown in Fig. 4.

20.
If the axle housing is being re-

placed, transfer all the differential and

pinion parts to the new housing. Refer

to Section 4, Major Repair Operation

for the procedure.

INSTALLATION

1.
Lightly coat the wheel bearing

rollers with axle lubricant. Install

wheel bearings in the axle housing

with the tool shown in Fig. 5. The

bearings should seat firmly against the

shoulder.

2.
Wipe all lubricant from the oil

seal bore before installing the seal. If

axle housing is being replaced, new

seals must be installed.

3.
Inspect the original seal for

nicks,
scuffs or abnormal wear, and

replace if necessary. New seals are

pre-packed with lubricant and do not

require an oil soak.

4.
Install the seal with the tool

shown in Fig. 6. Installation without

the use of the proper tool will distort

the seal and cause leakage.

5. Raise the rear axle into position

under the vehicle with a hoist or floor

jack. Connect the suspension lower

arms to their mounting brackets on

the axle housing with pivot bolts and

nuts.
Do not tighten the mounting

bolts at this point.

6. Position the suspension upper

arm in its mounting bracket on the

axle housing and install the adjusting

bolt, eccentric washers, lock washer

and nut. Do not tighten the mounting

bolt at this point.

7.
Place the rear coil springs and

insulators into position in the pockets

provided.
8. Place the brake backing plates

on the axle housing flanges, install 4

attaching bolts and nuts and torque

them to specifications.

9. Position the brake lines to the

axle housing and secure them with the

retaining clips. If the axle housing is

new, install a new vent. When install-

ing the new axle vent apply a small

amount of Locktite (C5AZ-19554-B)

to prevent oil leakage between vent

and axle housing. Connect the vent

tube to the vent.

10.
Install the pinion side gears and

thrust washer.

11.
Slide the axle shafts into place

in the axle housing. Exercise care that

splines or any portion of the axle

shafts do not damage the oil seals and

that they engage with the splines of

the differential side gears.

12.
Install the axle shaft C-lock O-

ring and C-lock on the inner end of

the shaft and push the shaft outward

so that the shaft lock seats in the

counterbore of the differential side

gear.

13.
Position the pinion differential

gears and thrust washers 180 degrees

apart to the differential side gears.

Revolve the gear assembly until the

holes in the differential case are al-

igned with the pinion gears.

14.
Position the differential pinion

shaft through the case and pinions, al-

igning the hole in the shaft with the

lock bolt hole. Install the lock bolt

and tighten it to specification.

15.
Clean the gasket mounting sur-

face of the rear axle housing and the

cover. Install a new cover gasket,

cover and the attaching bolts. Torque

the bolts to specification.

16.
Raise the rear axle on a hoist

and remove the safety stands.

17.
Connect the track bar to the

mounting stud. Install the washer and

nut. Torque the nut to specification.

18.
Connect the two rear shock ab-

sorbers to the mounting brackets on

the axle housing and torque the at-

taching nuts to specification.

19.
Make sure that both the front

and rear pivot bolts of the upper and

the two lower arms are loose, then

raise the axle assembly to the con-

trolled height (Fig. 8). Hold the axle

at the controlled height by placing

blocks or pieces of steel pipe between

the axle housing and the bumper rear

screw on the side rail.procarmanuals.com

DISASSEMBLY OF

DIFFERENTIAL CASE

1.
If the 2 differential side bearings

are to be removed from the differen-

tial case, use the tool shown in Fig.

case several revolutions in each direc-

tion while the bearings are loaded to

seat the bearings in their cups. This

step is important.

5. Again loosen the right nut to re-

lease the preload. Check to see that

the left nut contacts the bearing cup.

Using the dial indicator set-up shown

in Fig. 13, Part 4-1, adjust the preload

to 0.008 to 0.012 case spread for new

bearings or 0.005 to 0.008 for the

original bearings, if re-used.

6. Check the runout of the differen-

tial case flange with a dial indicator.

If the runout does not now exceed

specifications, install a new ring gear,

if the runout still exceeds specifica-

tions,
the ring gear is true and the

trouble is due to either a defective

casting or worn bearings.

7.
Remove the differential case

from the carrier and remove the side

bearings from the case.

8. Install new bearings on the case

hubs,
and again install the differential

assembly in the carrier without the

ring gear.

9. Check the case runout again with

the new bearings. If the runout is now

within limits, the old bearings were

excessively worn. Use the new bear-

ings for assembly. If the runout is still

excessive, the case is defective and

should be replaced.

ASSEMBLY OF AXLE

Refer to Part 4-1 of this Shop

Manual for Cleaning and Inspection

procedures before starting assembly

operations.

ASSEMBLY OF

DIFFERENTIAL CASE

1.
Place the ring gear on the differ-

ential case. Install the retaining bolts

and torque them to specification.

2.
If the differential bearings were

removed, press them on as shown in

Fig. 17.

3.
Insert the pinion gear shaft lock

bolt into the case (loosely).

INSTALLATION OF DRIVE

PINION AND

DIFFERENTIAL CASE

1.
Place the shim(s) and pinion rear

bearing cone on the pinion shaft.

Press the bearing and shim(s) firmly

against the pinion shaft shoulder (Fig.

18).

2.
Place a new pinion bearing pre-

load (collapsible) spacer on the pinion

shaft.

3.
Lubricate the pinion rear bearing

with axle lubricant.

4.
Lubricate the pinion front bear-

ing with axle lubricant. Lubricate the

pinion front bearing cone and place it

in the carrier housing.

5.
Install a new oil seal in the car-

rier casting (Fig. 19).

6. Insert the drive pinion shaft (U-

joint) flange into the pinion seal and

hold it firmly against the pinion front

bearing cone. From the rear of the

carrier casting, insert the pinion shaft

into the flange.

7.
Apply a small amount of lubri-

cant to the washer side of the flange

nut and start the nut. Use a new nut.

Hold the flange with the tool shown in

Fig. 12 and tighten the pinion shaft

nut. As the pinion shaft nut is tight-

ened, the pinion shaft is pulled into

the front bearing cone and into the

flange.

As the pinion shaft is pulled into

the front bearing cone, pinion shaft

end play is reduced. While there is

still end play in the pinion shaft, the

flange and cone will be felt to bottom.

This indicates that the bearing cone

and flange have bottomed on the col-

lapsible spacer.

From this point, a much greater

torque must be applied to turn the

pinion shaft nut, since the spacer must

be collapsed. From this point, also,

the nut should be tightened very slow-

ly and the pinion bearing preload play

checked often, so that the pinion bear-

ing preload does not exceed the speci-

fied limits.

If the pinion shaft nut is tightened

to the point that pinion bearing pre-

load exceeds the limits, the pinion

shaft must be removed and a new col-

lapsible spacer installed. Do not de-

crease the preload by loosening the

pinion shaft nut. This will remove the

compression between the pinion front

and rear bearing cones and the col-

lapsible spacer and may permit the

front bearing cone to turn on the pin-

ion shaft.

8. As soon as there is preload on

the bearings, turn the pinion shaft in

both directions several times to seat

the bearing rollers.

9. Adjust the bearing preload to

specification. Measure the preload

with the tool shown in Fig. 20.

10.
Apply a thin coating of lubri-

cant on the bearing bores so that the

differential bearing cups will move

easily.

11.
Place the cups on the bearings

and set the differential case assembly

in the carrier casting.

If the gear set is of the non-hunting

or partial non-hunting type, assemble

the differential case and ring gear as-

sembly in the carrier so that the

marked tooth on the pinion indexes

between the marked teeth on the ring

gear as shown in Fig. 49, Part 4-2.

In almost every case of improper

assembly (gears assembled out of

time),
the noise level and probability

of failure will be higher than they

would be with properly assembled

gears.

sembly in the carrier without regard

to the matching of any particular gear

teeth.

12.
Slide the case assembly along

the bores until a slight amount of

backlash is felt between the gear teeth.

Hold the differential case in place.

13.
Set the adjusting nuts in the

bores so that they just contact the

bearing cups.

14.
Carefully position the bearing

caps on the carrier casting. Match the

marks made when the caps were re-

moved (Fig. 21).

15.
Install the bearing cap bolts

and lockwashers. As the bolts are

tightened, turn the adjusting nut with

the tool shown in Fig. 21.

16.
If the adjusting nuts do not turn

freely as the cap bolts are tightened,

remove the bearing caps and again in-

spect for damaged threads or incor-

rectly positioned caps. Tightening the

bolts to the specified torque is done to

be sure that the cups and adjusting
