REAR AXLE
51-2 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Description
General
The rear axle consists of an axle casing with a differential unit attached to the right of the vehicle centre line. A wheel
hub is installed in each end of the axle casing and connected to the differential unit by a drive shaft.
Axle casing
The axle casing is of welded construction, with brackets on the casing exterior for attachment to the rear suspension.
A differential cover on the rear of the axle casing contains an oil level plug for checking and replenishment of the
differential unit lubricating oil. A magnetic drain plug is installed on the underside of the axle casing.
The interior of the axle casing is ventilated through a breather tube inserted in a red plastic sleeve in the top of the
casing. The open end of the breather tube is located between the chassis and the left rear wheelarch.
Differential unit
The differential unit is of the spiral bevel type, lubricated by splash oil. The unit consists of a differential carrier
attached to a pinion housing. In the pinion housing, the pinion is splined to a pinion flange which is secured with a bolt
and washer. An oil seal prevents leakage past the pinion flange.
Centralising peg
The centralising peg is a press fit in the centre of the pinion flange and provides a positive location for the rear
propellor shaft to ensure it is centralised with the flange.

centralising peg is below pinion flange
mounting surface.
6.Position propeller shaft and align reference
marks.

6.Ensure original head bearing shim is clean and
free from burrs and fit under bearing race.
7.Ensure pinion bearing cup recesses are clean
and free of burrs and using LRT-51-018-4 fit
pinion head and tail bearing races.
8.Fit pinion head bearing to pinion.
9.Lubricate bearings with thin oil.
10.Ensure original tail bearing shim is clean and
free from burrs and fit under bearing race.
11.Fit pinion and pinion tail bearing.
12.Fit pinion flange, washer and bolt.
13.Use LRT-51-003 to restrain pinion flange.
14.Tighten pinion flange bolt to 100 Nm (74 lbf.ft).
15.Check pinion for end float. Should read zero.
16.Rotate pinion several times to settle bearings,
check pinion Torque to Turn. Torque to Turn
should be recorded during pinion rotation.
Pinion Torque to Turn should be 4 to 6 Nm (3 to
4.5 lbf.ft).
17.Adjust size of tail bearing shim to obtain correct
pinion Torque to Turn (0.025 mm = 1 Nm
(0.001' = 0.7 lbf.ft) approximately).
18.Position LRT-51-018-7 on surface plate,
establish zero and reference DTI.19.Ensure pinion height setting block, setting
gauge and mating faces are clean and free
from burrs.
20.Locate setting block LRT-51-018/11 over
pinion head, ensure it is fully seated in position.
21. Pinion height setting procedure:
l'A' = Nominal pinion height setting, 74.390.
l'B' = Setting block height.
l'C' = Head height setting.
l'C' = 'A' - 'B'. Subtract nominal pinion height
'A' from setting block height 'B' (on side of
setting block).
lExample: 74.390 - 73.130 = 1.26 mm
(2.929' - 2.88' = 0.049'). Therefore pinion
head height reading is 1.260 mm
± 0.025
mm (0.049'
± 0.001').
CAUTION: Setting block height must be
checked using figures on side of block.

22.Align setting gauge LRT-51-018/7 to setting
block, rock gauge to obtain minimum reading. If
reading is lower than required reading,
decrease shim size. If reading is higher than
required reading, increase shim size.

remove bolt and washer. Remove pinion
flange.
24.Remove pinion, collect tail bearing and tail
bearing shim.
25.Remove pinion head bearing outer race and

27.Fit pinion, pinion tail bearing and tail bearing
shim.
28.Fit pinion flange and bolt and washer. Using
LRT-51-003 to restrain pinion flange, tighten

29.Rotate pinion in both directions to settle
bearings.
30.Recheck pinion Torque to Turn, adjust if
necessary.
31.Recheck pinion head height.

FRONT AXLE
54-2 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Description
General
The front axle consists of an axle casing with a differential unit attached to the right of the vehicle centre line. A wheel
hub is installed in a steering knuckle at each end of the axle casing and connected to the differential unit by a drive
shaft.
Axle casing
The axle casing is of welded construction, with brackets on the casing exterior for attachment to the front suspension.
Yokes at each end of the casing incorporate upper and lower ball joints for attachment of the steering knuckles.
A differential cover on the front of the axle casing contains an oil level plug for checking and replenishment of the
differential lubricating oil. A magnetic drain plug is installed on the underside of the casing. An oil seal is installed in
each end of the axle casing to prevent leakage past the drive shafts.
The interior of the axle casing is ventilated through a breather tube inserted in a red plastic sleeve in the top of the
casing. The open end of the breather tube is located in the left rear corner of the engine compartment.
Differential unit
The differential unit is of the spiral bevel type, lubricated by splash oil. The unit consists of a differential carrier
attached to a pinion housing. In the pinion housing, the pinion is splined to a drive flange which is secured with a bolt
and washer. An oil seal prevents leakage past the drive flange.
Steering knuckle
The steering knuckles are mounted on upper and lower ball joints in the yokes at the end of the axle casing. A tension
collet, in the lower mounting point of each steering knuckle, accommodates manufacturing tolerances to enable the
correct tightening of both ball joints. Lugs are incorporated on the steering knuckles for attachment of the steering
system drag link and track rod.
