between the bearings and the differential case. To move
the ring gear, shims are removed from one side and an
equal amount added to the other. Differential side bear
ing preload is set by the axle housing. The axle housing
is spread to remove the differential from the housing.
When the spreader is removed, the housing sets the
bearing preload.
Two bearing caps hold the differential in the axle
housing.
The axle is sealed with a pinion seal, hub seal, and
RTV between the cover and the housing.
All Dana axles are identified by a part number and
manufacturing date on the right axle tube, cover plate
side. The model number is cast on the carrier (figure 1).
The carrier does not have a drain plug.
CH EC K IN G TH E AXLE
BEFORE DISASSEMBLY
1. Remove the cover and drain the lubricant.
Inspect
2. Ring gear backlash. Refer to “ Backlash Adjust
ment.”
• This information can be used to determine the
cause of the axle problem. It will also help when
setting up the shim packs for locating and preload
ing the differential case.
3. Case for metal chips and shavings. Determine
where these chips and shavings came from, such
as a broken gear or bearing cage.
• Determine the cause of the axle problem before
disassembly, if possible.
DISASSEMBLY OF TH E
REAR AXLE
Remove or Disconnect (Figures 2 through 13)
Tools Required:
J 8107-3 Side Bearing Puller Plug
J 8614-01 Pinion Flange Holder
J 24385-01 Differential Housing Spreader
J 29721 Differential Side Bearing Remover
J 29721-70 Side Bearing Adapters
C-4171 Universal Handle
C-4307 Bearing Cup Remover (Rear)
D-128 Dial Indicator Set or Equivalent
D-159 Bearing Cup Remover
CAUTION: When disassembling the carrier,
make sure the entire axle is held tight in an
approved stand or rack. Improperly support
ed axles can cause serious injury.
• Place the axle in a suitable support.
1. Bolts (17) and cover (14).
• Drain the lubricant.
2. Axle shafts far enough to clear the differential case.
3. Bearing cap bolts (19).
4. Bearing caps (18).
A. Corresponding letters are stamped on the caps
and axle housing. The caps must be reassem
bled exactly as removed.
B. Assemble J 24385-01 to the differential housing
as shown in figure 3.
C. Assemble the dial indicator (figure 3). Preset
the gage at least 5 mm (0.200 inch), then rotate
the indicator housing to zero the dial.
NOTICE: Do not spread the axle housing
more than 0,38 mm (0.015 inch). Overspread
ing the housing can damage or distort it.
D. Spread the housing while examining the dial
indicator. Do not spread the housing more than
0.38 mm (0.015 inch).
CAUTION: Do not allow the case to fall. It can
s trik e legs or fe e t and m ay c a u s e se rio u s
injury. A lso, g ear teeth m ay have sharp
edges. When handling, use care to avoid cut
ting hands.
5. Case (22) from the housing (1) using two pry bars
(figure 4).
6. J 24385-01 from the housing (1).
7. Bearing cups (20).
• Mark the cups left and right, and place them
with the proper bearing caps.
