Maintenance -Axles

Wheel hubs All the wheel hubs on the PHANTOM axles are packed with a high temperature grease. The hubs should be repacked when the wheel bearings are adjusted. Some oil from the centre differential housing may also find its way into the rear hubs - please do not be concerned about this (Two wheel steer only). Wheel Bearings If wheel bearing play is evident adjust as follows: 1. Jack up off floor and fit axle stands. 2. Remove 10 studs securing drive flange and centre cap screw. 3. Fit two M8 setscrews into tapped extractor holes & tighten equally to break seal between flange and hub. 4. Pull off drive flange. 5. Tighten the self-locking nut to 55 lb ft to preload the bearings and check that wheel spins freely. A special tool is available from T.J. Frazier or your supplier if required. Do not overtighten. 6. Repack hub with high-temp grease. 7. Replace drive flange, etc using new gasket or silicone sealant. Tighten securing bolts to 42 lb ft. Axle Oil levels Use SAE 90/140 gear oil for topping up the following oil levels: Rear axle The filler/level plug is situated on the front, nearside of the differential housing. There are two plugs the correct level being midway between the two plugs. Front axle The filler/level plugs are situated on the rear, offside of the differential housing. Check level as above. |
