Remove axle shaft oil seal from axle housing tube.
3) Place axle shaft in a vise. Drill a 1/4" (6.35 mm) hole
3/4 of the way through bearing retaining ring. Chisel off bearing
retaining ring. Do not use a torch. Press bearing off axle. Remove
seal and retainer plate.
Installation
Lubricate bearing and seal lip. Install retainer plate and
seal over axle. Press axle shaft bearing and retaining ring on shaft
simultaneously. Ensure bearing and ring are seated against axle shaft
shoulder. To complete installation, reverse removal procedure to
complete installation.
WHEEL CYLINDER
Removal
Remove wheel assemblies, brake drums and brake shoes.
Disconnect brake line at wheel cylinder. Do not bend brake line away
from cylinder. Remove cylinder-to-support plate bolts. Remove
cylinder.
Installation
To install, reverse removal procedure. Start brake line
fitting into cylinder before installing cylinder to support plate.
OVERHAUL
DISC BRAKE CALIPER
Disassembly
1) Clean caliper exterior with brake cleaning solvent. Drain
residual fluid from caliper and place caliper on a clean working
surface.
2) Remove piston from caliper by applying compressed air to
inlet port. Use just enough pressure to ease piston out of bore.
Protect piston from damage with folded shop towels. Do not try to
catch piston by hand.
3) Pry dust boot out of bore with screwdriver. Do not scratch
bore. Using a small plastic or wooden stick, pry piston seal from
bore. See Fig. 11. Remove bleeder screw, sleeves, and bushings.
Cleaning & Inspection
Clean all parts with brake cleaning solvent. Blow dry parts.
Check for damaged or worn parts. Stains on piston bore can be polished
with crocus cloth. Do not use emery cloth or any other abrasive.
Reassembly
1) Lubricate bore and new seal with brake fluid. Install seal
in groove using fingers. Lubricate piston with brake fluid. Slide
metal retainer portion of dust boot over open end of piston. Pull boot
rearward until boot lip seats in piston groove.
2) Push retainer portion of dust boot forward until boot is
flush with rim at open end of piston and boot fold snaps into place.
Insert piston in bore being careful not to unseat piston seal.
3) Push piston to bottom of bore using hammer handle.
Position dust boot retainer in counterbore at top of piston bore. Seat
dust boot retainer with Dust Boot Installer (J-22904 or J-33028).
Reverse removal procedure to complete installation.

than .010" (.25 mm) from tip. Chamfer sharp edge of reground valve
tip. Recheck valve stem installed height.
VALVE STEM OIL SEALS
Valve stem oil seals must be installed on valve stem. See
Fig. 2 . Seals are needed due to pressure differential at the ends of
valve guides. Atmospheric pressure above intake guide, combined with
manifold vacuum below guide, causes oil to be drawn into the cylinder.
Exhaust guides also have pressure differential created by
exhaust gas flowing past the guide, creating a low pressure area. This
low pressure area draws oil into the exhaust system.
Replacement (On Vehicle)
Mark rocker arm or overhead cam components for location.
Remove rocker arm components or overhead cam components. Components
must be installed in original location. Remove spark plugs. Valve stem
oil seals may be replaced by holding valves against seats using air
pressure.
Air pressure must be installed in cylinder using an adapter
for spark plug hole. An adapter can be constructed by welding air hose
connection to spark plug body with porcelain removed.
Install adapter in spark plug hole. Apply a minimum of 140
psi (9.8 kg/cm
) to adapter. Air pressure should hold valve closed. If
air pressure does not hold valve closed, check for damaged or bent
valve. Cylinder head must be removed for service.
Using valve spring compressor, compress valve springs. Remove
valve locks. Carefully release spring compressor. Remove retainer or
rotator and valve spring. Remove valve stem oil seal.
If oversized valves have been installed, oversized oil seals
must be used. Coat valve stem with engine oil. Install protective
sleeve over end of valve stem. Install new oil seal over valve stem
and seat on valve guide. Remove protective sleeve. Install spring
seat, valve spring and retainer or rotator. Compress spring and
install valve locks. Remove spring compressor. Ensure valve locks
are fully seated.
Install rocker arms or overhead cam components. Tighten all
bolts to specification. Adjust valves if required. Remove adapter.
Install spark plugs, valve cover and gasket.
VALVE SPRING INSTALLED HEIGHT
Valve spring installed height should be checked during
reassembly. Measure height from lower edge of valve spring to the
upper edge. DO NOT include valve spring seat or retainer. Distance
must be within specifications. If valves and/or seats have been
ground, a valve spring shim may be required to correct spring height.
