Use the torque wrench to rotate the axle housing assembly. Use Tooling (D) to tighten nut (22). The torque wrench reading must equal the axle bearing preload rolling torque plus the actual seal drag torque. Use the seal drag torque that was recorded in Step 15. Use the following formula to calculate the required torque wrench reading. This formula is used to measure torque at the bolt circle."C = " (B x (T + SDT)) / (B + A)"C" is the torque wrench reading in newton meters (N m)."B" is the length of the torque wrench in meters."A" is the bolt circle radius of axle housing assembly (10) in meters. This equals 0.229 m (9.0160 inch)."SDT" is the actual seal drag torque in newton meters (N m)."T" is the axle bearing preload rolling torque. The preload rolling torque for new bearings is 9 N m (7 lb ft) to 16 N m (12 lb ft). The preload rolling torque for used bearings is 4.5 N m (3.5 lb ft) to 8 N m (6 lb ft).
The axle shaft should have zero end play. If the axle bearing preload rolling torque exceeds the specification, back off bearing nut (22) by 1/8 turn and reseat bearing cone (23) against bearing nut (22). Perform Step 16 again.

Install retaining ring (12) on planet carrier (21).
Illustration 13 g06057376
Apply a thin coat of clean SAE 30 oil on all parts of planet carrier (21).
Install bearing (20) in planetary gear (19).
Install thrust discs (18) and planetary gear (19) in planet carrier (21).
Illustration 14 g06057377
Install planetary shaft (17). Make sure that spring pins (15) and (16) hole in planetary shaft (17) is aligned with the spring pin hole in planet carrier (21). Install new spring pins (15) and (16).
The openings of spring pins (15) and (16) must be 180 degrees away from each other. The openings of spring pins (15) and (16) must be parallel to the deck plane of carrier assembly.
Repeat Steps 19 through 23 for the remaining two planetary gears.
