Axles, Drive Shafts, Wheels and Tires
b. Rear Axle
1. Block all four wheels to help prevent the vehicle
from moving after the parking brake is disabled.
2. Working through the level plug hole (4), carefully use
a screwdriver to spread the brake disks apart.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT damage the surfaces of the
brake disks when spreading the brake disks.
3. Using a feeler gauge, check the gap (5) between the
brake disks (6). If the gap is greater than 0.167"
(4,25 mm), replace the brake disks.
Note: If the brake disks are worn beyond 0.167"
(4,25 mm), the brake disk must be replaced on both
sides of the axle at the same time.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the other side of the axle.
5. Fill the axle with Universal Tractor Fluid through the
axle fill hole (7) until the oil level is even with both
axle level holes (8).
See chart of approved fluids. The axle capacity is
1.3 qt (1,2 Liters) for the rear axle. Fill axle slowly, the
oil has to run across the differential. Allow time for the
oil to run across the differential. Axle level is correct
when oil is up to both level plugs.
6. Reassemble the level plugs using new o-rings.
7. Re-install the axle fill plug (7) into axle housing.
WARNING:
BLOCK ALL FOUR
WHEELS. Failure to do so could result in
death or serious injury from vehicle roll-away
