Note:   Transmission remains installed.

  Remove

Remove axle shafts (1) – see operation "Axle Shafts, Remove and Install" in group "E".

Remove end shield cover (2) – see operation "Gasket for End Shield Cover, Replace – F13/F17/F17+/F18".

Remove end shield (3) from transmission housing – see operation "Gasket for End Shield, Replace (F13/F17/F17+/F18)".

Remove differential (4) – see operation "Differential, Remove and Install (F18)".

Object Number: 2414102  Size: DEFAULT

  Disassemble

Remove seal rings from bearing ring (3) and transmission using KM-454-2 (1) and KM-454-4 (2).

Only necessary for replacement: drive outer race for tapered roller bearing out of bearing ring with KM-304 (4), KM-451 (5), place KM-502-A underneath.

Drive outer race for tapered roller bearing out of bearing flange with KM-304 (7), KM-451 (8), place KM-502-A underneath.

  Remove

Remove drive gear fastening bolt (1) from differential housing (2).

Knock drive gear from differential housing with brass drift.

Caution

Always replace drive gears (driving drive gear with main shaft) in pairs. Note identification groove running around tip of tooth.

Note:   Following illustrations show further dismantling without replacement of tapered roller bearing inner races.

  Remove

Drive out locking pin of bevel gear axle. Press bevel gear axle out of differential housing.

Object Number: 2415544  Size: DEFAULT

  Remove

Screw out differential bevel pinion with friction washer. Remove axle drive bevel gear with friction washer.

  Disassemble

Only necessary for replacement: pull off both tapered roller bearing inner races with KM-161-B (1), KM-161-3 (2) and KM-161-4 (3).

Note:   When re-using the tapered roller bearing, the respective outer and inner races must not be swapped over. For overhaul operations, the speedometer gear (driving) should be destroyed, if still present. On assembly it is not re-installed.

  Inspect

Removed parts for wear, signs of scoring, damage, hairline cracks; if necessary replace.

Object Number: 2415549  Size: DEFAULT

Note:   Lubricate rotating parts on their bearing, running, seating, and pressure surfaces using transmission fluid.

  Assemble

Insert axle drive bevel gear with friction washer in differential housing.

Screw in differential bevel pinions with friction washer into differential housing (1) and centre with KM-160-4 (2).

Pull out KM-160-4 and insert bevel gear shaft into differential housing. Drive in locking pin and secure through centre punching.

Object Number: 2414075  Size: DEFAULT

  Adjust

Pre-tension of axle shaft bevel gears.

Measure breakaway torque for installation free of play (no backlash) – KM-995-A, MKM-536-A. Nominal value: 8 to 15 Nm / 6 to 11 lbf. ft. For excessively high breakaway torques use thinner adjusting washer. For excessively low breakaway torques use thicker adjusting washers.

Available washer thicknesses: 0.82 mm, 0.88 mm, 0.94 mm.

After adjustment is completed: Drive in locking pin and secure by centre punching at bore edge.

  Install

Clamp differential housing in vice, KM-524-A.

  Assemble

Attach drive gear (1) with new fastening bolts to differential housing – tightening torque 70 Nm / 52 lbf. ft. + 45°.

Note:   Replace drive gears only in pairs (driving and driven). Note identification groove (arrows) running around tip of tooth.

  Assemble

Press tapered roller bearing inner races (3) onto differential housing (4) with KM-522 (2).

Install respective outer race for tapered roller bearing in transmission or bearing ring – use KM-305 and KM-451. Stop outer race for tapered roller bearing lightly in housing.

Object Number: 2414062  Size: DEFAULT

  Install

Press respective outer race for tapered roller bearing into bearing flange (3) or bearing ring to the stop, KM-305 (1) and KM-451 (2).

Drive new axle shaft seal ring into bearing flange and bearing ring with KM-519 – see operation "Axle Shaft Seal Ring, Replace (F13/F17/F17+/F18)".

Install differential (4) – see operation "Differential, Remove and Install (F18)".

Install end shield (5) – see operation "Gasket for End Shield, Replace – F13/F17/F17+/F18".

Install end shield cover (6) – see operation "Gasket for End Shield Cover, Replace (F13/F17/F17+/F18)".

Install axle shafts – see operation "Axle Shafts, Remove and Install" in group "E".
