carrier.
• Lightly oil O-ring and O-ring grove in planet pin
with clear gear oil then fit O-ring into planet
carrier.
• Insert planet pin, O-ring up into planet carrier and
through planet gear making sure to line up flat on
planet pin with hole in planet carrier for set
screw.
• Clean set screw threads with solvent then apply
Loctite 275. Drive screw into hole in planet
carrier and tighten to a torque of 22-27 lbs. ft.
(30-36 N•m) to secure planet pin assembly.
• Repeat operations for other two planet gear
assemblies.
• Stake screw in four places to lock in position.
• Coat thrust button bore, in planet carrier, with
Loctite 275 then fit thrust button.
Fitting Planet Carrier Unit/Final Assembly
• Fit thrust washer, then sun gear onto axle shaft,
then fit snap ring to secure.
• Apply clean gear oil to axle shaft inner splines.
Insert axle shaft assembly into axle spindle until
axle shaft splines are engaging with differential
gear splines.
• Coat hub mating face of planet carrier with
Loctite 515 joining planet carrier unit with hub
using chain hoist if required. Ensure planet gear
teeth mesh with sun gear.
• Fit planet carrier capscrews and hardened
washers, tighten to a torque of 91-101 lbs. ft.
(123-137 N•m).
• Fit drain capscrew and washer, tighten to a torque
of 145-161 lbs. ft. (196-218 N•m).
• Fit planet cover plate, secure with capscrew,
tightening to 66-72 lbs. ft. (89-98 N•m).
• Rotate both hubs until oil filler/level plug holes
are on axle center line, fill with oil until level with
bottom of level hole thread.
• Fill drive head with oil.
• Allow oil to settle for 15 minutes, then check oil
level again in both hubs and differential.
• Refit then tighten the filler/level plug then drive
head filler plug.
• Refit road wheels securing with spherical wash-
ers and wheel nuts. Remove supports and lower
vehicle to ground. Tighten wheel nuts to a torque
of 400-430 lbs. ft. (542-583 N•m).
Note: The wheel nuts should be checked and
tightened if necessary, shortly after initial operation.
