Bevel Gear Case and Axle Case Inspection
1.Measure the knuckle pin O.D. and the axle case sup- port bushing I.D. to determine the bushing to pin clear- ance (Fig. 19). Replace components as necessary.
BUSHING TO PIN CLEARANCE: 0.002 to 0.016 in. (0.05 to 0.40 mm)
KNUCKLE PIN O.D. (Factory Spec.): 0.982 to 0.983 in. (24.95 to 24.98 mm)
AXLE CASE SUPPORT BUSHING I.D. (Factory Spec.):
0.984 to 0.987 in. (25.00 to 25.08 mm)
2.Inspect all gears, shafts, bearings, cases and covers for damage and wear. Replace components as neces- sary.
