Install internal gear (13) .
Illustration 4 g00780232
Install slotted nut (12). Ensure that chamfered side of slotted nut (12) is facing outward.
Illustration 5 g00780090
Illustration 6 g00780247
Use tooling (A) in order to tighten slotted nut (12). Tighten the slotted nut to a rolling torque of 46 N m (34 lb ft).Note: If the old bearings were reused, the rolling torque should be 27 N m (20 lb ft).
Illustration 7 g00780084
After the proper rolling torque has been attained, install lock plate (11). Tighten bolts (10) to a torque of 69 N m (51 lb ft).Note: Use new bolts in order to secure the lock plate.
Illustration 8 g00780232
Install washers (17) and (18). The flat face of washer (18) should be on the inside.
Illustration 9 g00780281
Install snap ring (19) .
Calculate the end play of the sun gear of the axle shaft.
Illustration 10 g00780674
Use a depth gauge and a straight edge in order to measure dimension (I). Dimension (I) is the distance from the flange surface to the contact face of the thrust washer. An example of dimension (I) is 166.2 mm (6.5 inch).
Illustration 11 g00785354
Straighten the axle and push the sun gear into the axle. Use a depth gauge and the straight edge in order to determine dimension (II). Dimension (II) is the distance from the end of the sun gear shaft to the flange surface of the hub. An example of dimension (II) is 163.1 mm (6.4212 inch).
Subtract dimension (II) from dimension (I). Subtract the required end play from the difference of dimensions (I) and (II). The remaining distance is the proper width of the thrust washer that is located in the center of the planetary carrier. Ensure that the proper thrust washer is installed in the planetary carrier. If necessary, change the thrust washer. See Disassembly and Assembly, "Final Drive (Drive and Steering Axle) (Rear) - Assemble".Note: Refer to the Specifications Manual for the proper end play.
Illustration 12 g00778205
Use a suitable lifting device in order to install planetary carrier (5). It may be necessary to move the planetary gears slightly in order to mesh the gears with the sun gear.
Illustration 13 g00778197
Install two socket head bolts (4). Tighten bolts (4) to a torque of 55 N m (41 lb ft).
Illustration 14 g00778183
Install final drive drain plug (2). Tighten plug (2) to a torque of 120 N m (89 lb ft).
Fill the final drives with the proper lubricants. See Operation and Maintenance Manual for the proper lubricants and volumes.End By:
