Forward Assembly
Disassemble Output Shaft Assembly
Note: For forward axle rear covers that are removable the out-
put shaft may be removed when the cover is in or out of
the axle assembly.
1. Disconnect the inter-axle driveline at the forward
axle rear cover position.
2. Remove yoke nut (shoulder nut).
3. Remove yoke from output shaft using appropriate
tool.
TIP: A yoke puller tool may be made from the center
section of most gear puller tools, or may be pur-
chased from your tool distributor.
4. Remove oil seal.
5. Remove snap ring.
6. Remove output shaft and outer bearing cup as an
assembly.
TIP: It may be helpful to loosely reinstall the yoke
and shoulder nut giving the technician more of an
area to grip when removing the output shaft.
7. Remove the inner bearing cup from rear cover
assembly. This may be removed from inside the axle
housing when the carrier is removed, or by removal
of the forward axle rear cover.
8. Remove both inner and outer bearing from output
shaft.
9. Remove output shaft inner bearing cup.
Note: Components such as the inter-axle driveline, yoke, oil
seal and output shaft assembly should have been
removed according to normal service procedures.
Removing the differential assembly from the axle hous-
ing is not necessary, but would ease the removal pro-
cess of the inner bearing cup from the cover bore.
e. Using a bearing puller tool, remove the inner
bearing cup.
f. Visually inspect the inner-machined bore sur-
face of the welded-on cover for nicks and burrs.
Repair if necessary.
