1.
Remove the wheel cover, wheel

and tire from the brake drum.

2.
Remove the Tinnerman nuts that

secure the brake drum to the axle

housing flange, and then remove the

drum from the flange.

3.
Working through the hole pro-

vided in each axle shaft flange, re-

move the nuts that secure the wheel

bearing retainer plate. Then pull the

axle shaft assembly out of the axle

housing (Fig. 2). The brake backing

plate must, not be dislodged. Install

one nut to hold the plate in place after

the axle shaft is removed.

4.
If the rear wheel bearing is to be

replaced, loosen the inner retainer

ring by nicking it deeply with a cold

chisel in several places (Fig. 3). It will

then slide off easily.

5.
Remove the bearing from the

axle shaft with the tool shown in Fig.

4 or 5. If the push-puller operation

shown in Fig. 5 is used, be sure that

the puller arms contact the flat sur-

face of the axle shaft flange rather

than the bolt heads. Also with this

method, be careful not to damage or

burr the oil seal journal as the bearing

breaks loose.

6. Whenever a rear axle shaft is re-

placed the oil seal must be replaced.

Remove the seal with the tools shown

in Fig. 8. Soak new oil seals in SAE

10 oil for 1/2 hour before installing.

7.
Inspect the machined surfaces of

the axle shaft and the axle housing for

rough spots or other irregularities

which would affect the sealing action

of the oil seal. Check the axle shaft

splines for burrs, wear or damage.

Carefully remove any burrs or rough

spots.
Replace worn or damaged

parts.

8. Lightly coat wheel bearing bores

with axle lubricant.

9. Place the retainer plate on the

axle shaft, and press the new wheel

bearing on the shaft with the tool

shown in Fig. 4 or 5. The bearing

should seat firmly against the shaft

shoulder. Do not attempt to press on

both the bearing and the inner retain-

er ring at the same time.

10.
Using the bearing installation

tool, press the bearing inner retainer

ring on the shaft until the retainer

seats firmly against the bearing.

11.
Wipe all lubricant from the in-

side of the axle housing in the area of

the oil seal before installing the new

seal.

12.
Wipe a small amount of oil res-

istant sealer on the outer edge of the

seal before it is installed. Do not put

sealer on the sealing lip.

13.
Rear wheel oil seals with syn-
thetic sealing elements have been in-

corporated in production. However,

only leather seals will be used as re-

placements for the synthetic sealing

element seals. Install the new oil seal

with the tools shown in Fig. 8. Instal-

lation without use of the proper tool

will distort the seal and cause leakage.

Be sure the new seal has been soaked

in SAE 10 oil for 1/2 hour.

14.
Carefully slide the axle shaft

into the housing so that the rough

forging of the shaft will not damage

the oil seal. Start the axle splines into

the side gear, and push the shaft in

until the bearing bottoms in the housing.

15.
Install the bearing retainer plate

on the mounting bolts at the axle

housing, and install the attaching nuts.

Torque the nuts to specifications.

16.
Install the brake drum and the

drum retaining nuts.

17.
Install the wheel and tire on the

drum, and install the wheel cover.

REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT

OF DRIVE PINION OIL SEAL

Synthetic seals must not be cleaned,

soaked or washed in cleaning solvent.

Replacement of the pinion oil seal

involves removal and installation of

only the pinion shaft nut and the uni-

versal joint flange. However, this op-

eration disturbs the pinion bearing
preload, and this preload must be

carefully reset when assembling.

1.
Raise the vehicle and install safe-

ty stands. Remove the rear wheels and

brake drums.

2.
Make scribe marks on the drive

shaft end yoke and the axle U-joint

flange to insure proper position of the

drive shaft at assembly (Fig. 14). Dis-

connect the drive shaft from the axle

U-joint flange. Be careful to avoid

dropping the loose universal joint

bearing cups. Hold the cups on the

spider with tape. Mark the cups so

that they will be in their original posi-

tion in relation to the flange when

they are assembled. Remove the drive

shaft from the transmission extension

housing. Install an oil seal replacer

tool in the transmission extension

housing to prevent transmission leak-

age.
Refer to the transmission group

for the appropriate tool.

3.
Install an in-lb torque wrench on

the pinion nut Fig. 6. Record the tor-

que required to maintain rotation of

the pinion shaft through several revo-

lutions. \

4.
While holding the flange with the

tool shown in Fig. 9, remove the inte-

gral pinion nut and washer.

5.
Clean the pinion bearing retainer

around the oil seal. Place a drain pan

under the seal, or raise the front of

the vehicle higher than the rear.

6. Remove the piston outer seal

from the piston and the inner seal

from the clutch drum (Fig. 45).

7.
Remove the front and rear bush-

ings from the clutch drum if they are

worn or damaged. To remove the

front bushing, use a cape chisel and

cut along the bushing seam until the

chisel breaks through the bushing

wall. Pry the loose ends of the bushing

up with an awl and remove the bush-

ing.

To remove the rear bushing, use the

tool shown in Fig. 48, and press the

bushing from the drum.

Assembly

1.
If the clutch drum bushings were

removed, position the drum in a press

and press new bushings into the drum

with the tools shown in Figs. 48 or 49.

2.
Dip the new seals in transmission

fluid and install one on the drum and

one on the piston.

3.
Install the piston in the clutch

drum.

4.
Position the piston return springs

in the piston sockets. Place the spring

retainer on the springs.
5.
Install Tool T65L-77515-A (Fig.

46) and compress the springs. Make

certain that the spring retainer is cen-

tered while compressing the springs.

Install the snap ring. Before releasing

the pressure on the tool, make certain

that the snap ring is positioned inside

of the four snap ring guides on the

spring retainer.

6. Clutch plate usage varies with

each model, refer to the Specifications

Section for the number of plates re-

quired. Dip the clutch plates in clean

transmission fluid. Install the clutch

plates alternately starting with a steel

drive plate (Fig. 45).

7.
After all clutch plates have been

installed, position the pressure plate in

the clutch drum. Install the pressure

plate snap ring.

8. With a feeler gauge, check the

clearance between the pressure plate

and snap ring (Fig. 50).

9. The pressure plate should be held

downward as the clearance is checked.

Refer to the Specification Section for

the proper clearance. If the clearance

is not within specifications, selective

thickness snap rings are available in

the following thicknesses: 0.065-0.069,

0.074-0.078, and 0.083-0.087 inch. In-

stall the correct size snap ring and re-

check the clearance.

the drive and driven plates and the

forward pressure plate from the clutch

hub (Fig. 52).
3.
Remove the snap ring (Fig. 53)

that secures the disc spring in the

clutch cylinder. Remove the disc

spring.

4.
Apply air pressure to the clutch

apply passage in the cylinder (Fig. 54)

to remove the piston.

5.
Remove the seal from the piston

and the seal from the clutch hub (Fig.

52).

Assembly

1.
Dip two new seals in transmis-

sion fluid. Install the smaller seal on

the clutch hub and the other seal on

the clutch piston.

2.
Install the clutch piston in the

cylinder.

3.
Make sure that the steel pressure

ring is in the groove on the piston.

Position the disc spring in the cylinder

with the dished face downward. Install

the spring as shown in Fig. 56. Secure

the disc with the retaining snap ring.

4.
Install the forward pressure plate

with the flat side up and the beveled

side downward. Install first a compos-

ition driven plate and a steel drive

plate (Fig. 52). Install the remaining

plates in this sequence. Refer to the

Specification Section for the number

of plates required. The last plate in-

stalled will be the rear pressure plate.

Install the snap ring and make certain

that it seats fully in the groove.

5.
With a feeler gauge, check the

clearance between the snap ring and

the pressure plate (Fig. 55). Down-

ward pressure on the plate should be

maintained when making this check.
