IMPORTANT: When replacing a fastener, replace it with
one of equal or higher grade and quality. Torque
fasteners to the specified value for the application.
IMPORTANT: The use of replacement parts provided by
other than the original manufacturer is not recommended,
as such use may cause axle failure and affect vehicle
safety.
• Some service operations require the use of tools
specifically designed for the purpose. Use the
special tools when and as recommended.
• DO NOT pound, beat or hammer on end yokes and
flanges to remove or to install them. Damage to axle
components can occur. Remove and install end
yokes and flanges by following the recommended
procedures in the appropriate ZF axle service
manual.
• DO NOT attempt carrier and differential removal and
installation, and differential and pinion disassembly
and assembly, without thoroughly understanding the
instructions in the appropriate ZF publications.
• Before disassembling any parts inside the carrier,
remove the entire axle assembly from the vehicle
and securely support it with the pinion facing up in
an appropriate stand or rack.
