Overhaul and Assemble Output Shaft
Assembly
Note: Lubricate the parts with gear lube during assembly.
1. The output shaft bearings are assembled with both
bearing cones back to back. Use a press and a sleeve
to install one bearing at a time.
To prevent bearing damage, use a suitable sleeve that only
contacts the bearing race.
2. Apply pressure until the inner bearing cone touches
the shoulder of the output shaft.
3. Apply pressure until the back of the outer bearing
cone touches the back of the inner bearing.
Note: Axle housings with welded-on covers procured through
service will include the inner bearing cup as part of the
“service” axle housing assembly. Go to Step 6 if the
inner cup has already been installed.
4. Lightly coat the output bore of the axle housing
cover with a 9.5 (.38) wide application of Loctite 680
where the bore contacts the inner bearing cup. Do
not apply Loctite outside of this area—to the bearing
rollers or outboard of the inner cup bore. Improper
application of the Loctite could lock the rollers or
cause excessive pre-load.
Add loctite adhesive to the inner bearing surface of the
housing and NOT to the bearing race itself. If added to the
race, excessive adhesive could get on the surface of the
outer bearing race journal during installation and cure the
outer cap in place with excessive pre-load.
5. Using a sleeve and driver (hammer), install the inner
bearing cup.
6. Put the output shaft and bearing assembly into the
axle housing assembly.
7. Using a sleeve and driver (hammer), install the outer
bearing cup into the housing assembly over the out-
put shaft bearing cone.
8. Using snap ring pliers, install the snap ring that fas-
tens the outer bearing cup into the welded-on cover
assembly.
9. Check the end-play of the output shaft. New assem-
blies should measure 0.001" to 0.015".
Note: Use the bearing cup driver to insure seating of snap
ring after installation with snap ring pliers.
10. Install output yoke.
