Lubrication
Change Lube
Drain
1. Drain when the lube is at normal operating tempera-
ture (150°-200°F [66°-93°C]). It
will run freely and
minimize the time necessary to fully drain the axle,
this insures the axle is flushed.
2. Remove the bottom two carrier t
o housing cap-
screws and allow the lube to drain into a suitable
cont
ainer.
Note: Dispose
of all used lubricants properly by following dis-
posal methods approved for mineral- or syntheti
c-based
oils.
3. Inspect breather for clogging or corrosion. Clean or
repla
ce as necessary.
Fill
1. Reinstall bottom two carrier to housing capscrews –
use Loctite 270 and torque to 142–158 lbs. ft. (193-
214 N•m).
2. Remove the filler hole plug from the side of the car-
rier and fill the axle with the approved lubricant until
level
with the bottom of the hole.
3. If wheel ends were removed, follow instructions in
the wheel end ser
vicing section.
Always use the filler hole as the final reference. If lube is level
with
the bottom of the hole, the axle is properly filled.
Note: Lube fill capacities are basic guid
elines and will vary
based on the angle the axle is installed in a particular
chassis. Torque fill plug to 40–60 lbs. ft. (54–82 N•m).
TIP: Th
e axle can be filled through the axle housing breather
hole. Fill until lube level is even with the bottom of filler hole in
side of carrier.
