Revision: 2005 July 2005 FX
Wheel Bearing
1. Press fit a wheel hub into wheel bearing with a drift (SST).
CAUTION:

Press fit a drift (SST) while holding it against wheel bear-
ing inner side inner race.

Wheel bearing cannot be reused. Do not attempt to reuse
it.

Final press load guideline 49,033 N (5,000 kg, 11,000 lb)
2. Install back plate and wheel hub and bearing assembly.
3. Install anchor block onto axle.
INSPECTION AFTER ASSEMBLY
1. With wheel bearing pressed into axle housing, apply 49,033 N (5,000 kg, 11,000 lb) to wheel hub and rotate both clockwise and counterclockwise 10 times to minimize resistance.
2. Attach spring scale in the position shown in illustration and pull at a rate of 10 ± 2 rpm to measure rotating torque.

REMOVAL
1. Remove tire with power tool.
2. Remove cotter pin. Then remove lock nut from drive shaft.
3. Remove fixing nuts and bolts between side flange and drive shaft with power tool.
4. Separate drive shaft from wheel hub and bearing assembly by lightly tapping the end with a suitable ham- mer and wood block. If it is hard to separate, use a suitable puller.
5. Remove drive shaft from axle. CAUTION:
When removing drive shaft, do not apply an excessive angle to drive shaft joint. Also be careful
not to excessively extend slide joint.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL

Move joint up/down, left/right, and in the axial direction. Check
for any rough movement or significant looseness.

Check boot for cracks or other damage, and also for grease
leakage.

If a trouble is found, disassemble drive shaft, and then replace
with new one.
INSTALLATION
Refer to RAX-9, "Removal and Installation" for tightening torque. Install in the reverse order of removal.
NOTE:
Refer to component parts location and do not reuse non-reusable parts.

1. Place shaft in a vice.
CAUTION:
When retaining drive shaft in a vise, always use copper or aluminum plates between vise and
shaft.
2. Remove boot bands. Then remove boot from joint sub-assembly.
3. Screw a drive shaft puller 30 mm (1.18 in) or more into threaded part of joint sub-assembly. Pull joint sub-assembly out of shaft.
CAUTION:

If joint sub-assembly cannot be removed after five or
more unsuccessful attempts, replace shaft and joint sub-
assembly as a set.

Align sliding hammer and drive shaft and remove them
by pulling directly.
4. Remove boot from shaft.
5. Remove circular clip from shaft.
6. While rotating ball cage, remove old grease on joint sub-assem- bly with paper towels.
INSPECTION AFTER DISASSEMBLY
Shaft
Replace shaft if there is any runout, cracking, or other damage.
Joint Sub-Assembly

Make sure there is no rough rotation or unusual axial looseness.

Make sure there is no foreign material inside joint.

Check joint sub-assembly for compression scars, cracks, or fractures.
CAUTION:
If there are any irregular conditions of joint sub-assembly components, replace the entire joint
sub-assembly.
Sliding Joint Side (Housing)

Make sure there are no compression scars, cracks, fractures or unusual wear of ball rolling surface.

Make sure there is no damage to shaft screws.

Make sure there is no deformation of boot installation parts.
Ball Cage
Make sure there are no compression scars, cracks, fractures of sliding surface.
Steel Ball
Make sure there are no compression scars, cracks, fractures or unusual wear.
Inner Race

Check ball sliding surface for compression scars, cracks, or fractures.

Make sure there is no damage to serrated part.
CAUTION:
If there are any irregular conditions in the component, replace with a new set of housing, ball
cage, steel ball and inner race.
