3. Axle shaft

7. Differential case

4. Axle housing

8. Differential carrier

General Information The frame supports hold the front axle housing in such a manner as to allow a limited amount of rotary motion of the housing, the rotary sliding surfaces being lubricated with grease. The cushion tire is press-fitted to the outer ring of the wheel hub.

Removal Front Wheels

Suggestions

WARNING

Be sure to use the same size and brand tire for replacement.

1. Park the truck on level floor with the parking brake applied, the direction lever in neutral, the forks lowered, and the key switch off. 2. Prepare tools, jacks, and wheel blocks. 3. Block the rear wheels. 4. Loosen the wheel nuts about two turns.

Removal Sequence 2 Wheel nut

1. Wheel Nuts

NOTE

2. Front Wheel

Loosen, but do not remove, the wheel nuts. 5. Raise the front end of the truck. Use one of the methods shown.

WARNING

To prevent possible injury, do not replace the tire when the truck is loaded. Dismount the truck before raising the front tire. To prevent possible personal injury, raise the truck only until the tire just clears the ground. Do not put any portion of your body under the truck. Securely support the truck on blocks after raising it. 2.2

FRONT AXLE & REDUCTION DIFFERENTIAL Method 1

Method 3

Position the jack under the frame and raise the truck until the tire clears the floor.

Fasten a hoist to the mast and lift the front end of the truck as shown.

CAUTION

Be careful not to damage the bolt threads when removing the wheel.

Method 2 Tilt the mast all the way back, place wood blocks under the mast, and tilt the mast forward.

7. Remove the wheel.

CAUTION

After raising the front end, securely support it by blocks.

NOTE Service Limit For Cushion Tires Replace the tire if the height of the solid rubber portion is 25.4 mm (1 in. or less). For tire replacement, consult your Cat lift dealer.

Installation To install, reverse the removal sequence and do the following steps.

2. Lower the truck until the tire touches the floor. Then tighten the wheel nuts in numbered sequence shown below, in two or three steps, to the specified torque.

CAUTION 1

Use the same size and brand of tire.

6 3

Make sure the clamping surfaces of the wheel nuts and counterbores in the rim are free of dirt. 4 5

1. Install the tire and tighten the wheel nuts. Tighten each nut until its tapered portion is in full-face contact with the counterbore in the rim.

FRONT AXLE & REDUCTION DIFFERENTIAL Hub Bearing Preload

Installation and Setting Preload

Tighten the inner nut to produce the required preload. Tighten the outer nut to the specified torque and check the preload. Be sure that the preload noted after tightening the outer nut still meets the specification. This step is for new bearings. Where the bearings removed in disassembly are reused, try to produce the preload at the lower side of the range.

1. Fill the hub with the recommended grease as listed in the service manual.

Preload for hub bearing Tightening torque for lock nuts

5 to 50 kgf•cm (0.4 to 3.6 lbf•ft) [0.5 to 4.9 N•m] 20 kgf•m (145 lbf•ft) [196 N•m]

2. Pack the inner and outer bearing with the recommended grease. 3. Install the inner bearing to the back side of the hub. 4. Install the inner seal. 5. Clean the lining surface of the drum. 6. Install the hub onto the axle. 7. Install the outer bearing, grease seal and preload nut. 8. If the bearings are being reused, try to produce the lower side of the applied force in tangential direction. 9. For new bearings, tighten the preload nut to 14 kgf•m (101 lbf•ft) [137 N•m]. Slowly rotate the hub slightly more than 3 turns, back the nut off 80°, and set the applied force in tangential direction.

1. Before removing the differential carrier from the transmission case, measure the gear backlash to aid in obtaining correct backlash at the time of reassembly.

Use a bearing puller to remove the inner races from the differential case.

Inspection after Disassembly Reduction Gear

Differential

Check the teeth for wear, pitting, flaking, or chipping. Minor flaws on the tooth surface can be repaired by grinding with an oil stone or a hand grinder. Check the teeth for contact. If the gear is badly damaged and requires replacement, replace the pinion too. Reduction gear and pinion are a matched set and must be changed at the same time.

1. Check the differential cases for damage. Check in particular the seat formed of each case for carrying the side bearing inner race to see whether the seat surface is galled or not. 2. Check the sliding surfaces of the thrust washers and gears for wear or damage. 3. Check the teeth of the differential pinions and bevel gears for wear, pitting, chipping, or galling. 4. Check the fit of each pinion on the spider. Fit of differential pinions on spider

Reassembling Differential Case

The thrust washers of the differential gears are to be used for adjusting the backlash between the differential gears and pinions. Measure the backlash and, if it exceeds the limit, replace the thrust washers.

After putting the case assembly in place on the carrier, install the bearing caps tentatively by making the cap bolts snug tight. The caps are to be secured tight after the bearing preload has been adjusted.

Inspection and Adjustment Side Bearing Preload

Reduction Gear Backlash

Tie a wire on the reduction gear tooth and hook a spring scale to the wire. Tighten the side bearing nuts while reading the spring scale until the specified preload is obtained.

Adjust the backlash between the reduction gear and pinion after installing the differential carrier assembly to the transmission case. To measure the backlash, set a dial indicator with its spindle pointing squarely to the tooth face of the reduction gear. With the pinion held, move the gear back and forth to read the indicator. Adjust the backlash using the left and right side bearing nuts and pinion shims.

NOTE Before measuring the preload, tap the back of the reduction gear with a copper hammer while rotating the gear to center between bearing.

Tooth Contact

Using a dial indicator, check the reduction gear for face runout at the maximum radius position in back of the gear. If the runout exceeds the limit, check the reduction gear bolts for tightness; retighten if necessary. Check the tapered roller bearings for condition. Readjust or replace them if necessary.

Check the gear reduction tooth contact. To check, apply a thin coat of bluing to several gear teeth on both drive and coast sides. Press forward on the reduction pinion and rotate the reduction gear back and forth until a contact pattern is noted on both concave and convex faces of the gear teeth. To adjust the tooth contact, refer to the chart.
