6.
Make sure cross tube seals assemblies are
seated in equalizer beam center sleeves
(bronzed bushed models only).
7.
Install pipe plugs in ends of beam center sleeves
or plug vent holes with sealing compound
(Permatex No.
1 or equivalent).
Installing Axle Assemblies
1.
Position axle assemblies under chassis frame.
2.
Connect ends of equalizer beams to axle
housing hanger brackets:
(Tube Type Beam End Mounting)
a.
Apply a light coat of waterproof grease
(Lubriplate 110 or equivalent) to outer diameter
of end tubes.
b.
Align the beam end bushings with hanger
brackets and insert end tubes.
Center tubes in
bushings so that ends of tubes are equidistant
from outer faces of hanger brackets.
c.
Install end tube nuts.
Make sure nuts are
properly threaded on tubes.
Tighten nuts evenly
to specified torque (see "Torque Chart").
3.
Tighten saddle cap nuts to specified torque (see
"Torque Chart").
NOTE: Saddle cap nuts were not tightened
completely
when
assembled
to
permit
connecting of equalizer beams to axle housings.
Therefore, nuts must be tightened after beams
are connected to axles.
The cross center tube (44) is free to rotate or
float in the bushing assemblies (47) at each side.
However, in some cases where the vehicle has
been operating in mud or perhaps water, the
cross center tube may be found fast.
Whether it
is loose or fast will have no effect upon its
purpose.
The function of the tube is to assure
alignment between the left and right equalizer
beams (43).
The saddle caps serve to secure sleeve with
bushing (47).
The clamping effect of the caps
against the sleeve and bushing has no effect
upon the movement of the cross center tube.
4.
Connect torque rods to axle housings and frame
brackets.
Tighten stud nuts to specified torque
(see "Torque Chart").
5.
Install wheels and tires.
Connect propeller
shafts, brake lines, interaxle lock control linkage
or piping, etc.
6.
On vehicles equipped with hydraulic brakes,
bleed brake system and check for leaks.
On
vehicles with air brakes, check brake piping for
air leaks.
