REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

CARRIER ASSEMBLY

REMOVAL

1.
Raise the vehicle on a hoist and

remove the two rear wheels and tires.

2.
Remove the two brake drums (3

Tinnerman nuts at each drum) from

the axle shaft flange studs. If diffi-

culty is experienced in removing the

drums, remove the brake adjuster

knockout slug or rubber plug (if so

equipped) and back off the brake

shoes.

3.
Working through the hole pro-

vided in each axle shaft flange, re-

move the nuts that secure the rear

wheel bearing retainer plate. Pull each

axle shaft assembly out of the axle

housing using axle shaft remover,

Tool 4235-C. (Fig. 4). Care must be

exercised to prevent damage to the

production-type synthetic oil seal, if so

equipped. Any roughing or cutting of

the seal element during removal or in-

stallation can result in early seal fail-

ure.
Install a nut on one of the brake

backing plate attaching bolts to hold

the plate to the axle housing after the

shaft has been removed. Whenever a

rear axle shaft is replaced, the wheel

bearing oil seals must be replaced.

Remove the seals with tool 1175AB.

4.
Make scribe marks on the drive

shaft end yoke and the axle U-joint

flange to insure proper position at as-

sembly. Disconnect the drive shaft at

the rear axle U-joint. Hold the cups

on the spider with tape. Mark the

cups so that they will be in their orig-

inal position relative to the flange

when they are assembled. Remove the

drive shaft from the transmission ex-

tension housing. Install an oil seal re-

placer tool in the housing to prevent

transmission leakage. Refer to the

transmission group for the appropriate

tool.

5.
Clean area around carrier to

housing surfaced with a wire brush and

wipe clean, to prevent dirt entry into

the housing. Place a drain pan under

the carrier and housing, remove the

carrier attaching nuts, and drain the

axle.
Remove the carrier assembly

from the axle housing.

INSTALLATION

Synthetic production-type wheel

bearing seals must not be cleaned,

soaked or washed in cleaning solvent.

1.
Clean the axle housing and

shafts using kerosene and swabs. To

avoid contamination of the grease in
the sealed ball bearings, do not allow

any quantity of solvent directly on the

wheel bearings. Clean the mating sur-

faces of the axle housing and carrier.

2.
Position the differential carrier

on the studs in the axle housing using

a new gasket between carrier and

housing. Install the carrier-to-housing

attaching nuts, and torque them to

specifications.

3.
Remove the oil seal replacer tool

from the transmission extension hous-

ing. Position the drive shaft so that

the front U-joint slip yoke splines to

the transmission output shaft.

4.
Connect the drive shaft to the

axle U-joint flange, aligning the scribe

marks made on the drive shaft end

yoke and the axle U-joint flange dur-

ing the removal procedure. Install the

U-bolts and nuts and torque to speci-

fications.

5.
If the synthetic, production-type

wheel bearing seals were replaced with

service-type leather seals, soak the

new rear wheel bearing oil seals in

SAE 10 oil for 1/2 hour before instal-

lation. Wipe a small amount of an oil

resistant sealer on the outer edge of

each seal before it is installed. Do not

put any of the sealer on the sealing

lip.
Install the oil seals in the ends of

the rear axle housing with one of the

tools shown in Figs. 10 and 12.

6. Install the two axle shaft assem-

blies in the axle housing. Care must

be exercised to prevent damage to the

oil seals. The shorter shaft goes into

the left side of the housing.

Carefully slide the axle shaft into

the housing so that the rough forging

of the shaft will not damage the oil

seal. Start the axle splines into the

differential side gear, and push the

shaft in until the bearing bottoms in

the housing.
7.
Install the bearing retainers on

the attaching bolts on the axle housing

flanges. Install the nuts on the bolts

and torque to specifications.

8. If the rear brake shoes were

backed off, adjust the brakes as out-

lined in Part 2-1 and install rubber

plugs in the adjuster slots.

9. Install the two rear brake drums

and the drum Tinnerman nuts.

10.
Install the rear wheels and tires.

11.
Fill the rear axle with specified

lubricant.

Remove the U-joint flange from

the pinion shaft (Figs. 24 and 25).

3.
Remove the pinion seal (Fig. 26).

4.
Remove the pinion, bearing, and

retainer assembly from the carrier

housing (Fig. 41). Measure the shim

thickness with a micrometer. Record

this original shim thickness. If a new

gear set is installed during assembly, a

new shim will have to be installed.

The original shim thickness is one of

the factors necessary in determining

the new shim thickness. Extreme care

must be taken not to damage the

mounting surfaces of the retainer and

carrier.

5. Place a protective sleeve (hose)

on the pinion pilot bearing surface.

Press the pinion shaft out of the pin-

ion front bearing cone with the tool

shown in Fig. 27.

PINION BEARING CUPS

Do not remove the pinion bearing

cups from the retainer unless the cups

are worn or damaged. The flange and

pilot of the retainer are machined dur-
ing manufacture by locating on these

cups after they are installed in their

bores.
If the cups are worn or dam-

aged, they should be replaced.

Remove the bearing cups as shown

in Figs. 30, 31 and 32. Install the cups

as shown in Figs. 33 and 34.

After the new cups are installed,

make sure they are seated in the re-

tainer by trying to insert a 0.0015-inch

feeler gauge between the cup and the

bottom of the bore.

Whenever the cups are replaced, the

cone and roller assemblies should also

be replaced.
