END YOKES AND FLANGES

Proper service and repair of vehicle components is
important to the safe and reliable operation of all motor
vehicles. This applies particularly to driving axles such as
the ones described in this manual. The procedures
recommended and described in this manual are tested,
effective methods for performing service operations.
Follow each procedure closely, making use of both the
text and illustrations. Some of these service procedures
show the use of certain tools designed specifically for
the operation being performed. They are shown as a
preferred means of performing the operation. It is not
practical to anticipate and advise the service trade of all
possible alternative methods, and of all possible hazard-
ous consequences that could occur.

Accordingly, anyone who uses a service procedure or tool
different than shown must insure that their safety, and
the vehicle's safety, will not be jeopardized by the service
method selected.

This manual covers maintenance and rebuild procedures
for the Spicer S230-S, S230-SL, and S260-SB rear drive
axle assemblies.

GENERAL AXLE DESCRIPTION

The Spicer Heavy Duty Single Reduction rear drive axle
is a full floating axle assembly, with a hypoid gear carrier
assembly, using a High Strength Low Alloy (HSLA) steel
axle housing. The hypoid pinion is straddle mounted
with two tapered roller bearings behind the pinion teeth
for thrust and radial loads. A pilot bearing is located on
the nose of the pinion for radial load. The differential
itself uses four precision forged pinion mate gears, a
forged cross, and precision forged side gears.

SAFTEY PRECAUTIONS

Safety glasses should be wor

Safety glasses should be worn

at all times when assembling

or disassembling axles.

CLEANLINESS

Axle components should be steam cleaned prior to
removal from the vehicle. Dirt is abrasive and will cause
premature wear of otherwise serviceable parts.
Service personnel should use a wash tank for thorough
cleaning of parts just prior to reassembly.
