Removal (Flanged Shaft End W/Non-Adjustable Bearing)

  1. Raise vehicle and support with floor stands. Remove wheels. Remove retaining clips and brake drum. It may be necessary to back off brake shoes.
    CAUTION: Be sure to release automatic brake shoe adjuster lever before backing off brake shoes.

    Remove brake backing plate bolts and pull axle shaft assembly out of housing. If it seems stuck, install wheel with two lug nuts and use wheel for leverage. Do not strike shaft to free it.

  2. Using a suitable puller, remove bearing cup and oil seal from axle housing. If bearing cone on axle is not serviceable, remove it by first cutting retainer ring with a chisel, then pressing bearing off shaft. Remove seal and retainer plate. If bearing cone is serviceable it can be cleaned on shaft if seal is not damaged.
