seals due to excessive grease pressure. Figure 6-10.
Figure 6-10. Outer bearing ange.
To promote regular maintenance of important Argo compo-
nents, Ontario Drive & Gear has provided an access hole
through each rim and hub for ease of bearing lubrication.
Do not use high pressure or excessive amounts of grease.
Damage to the bearing seals could result.
6.4.7 Idler Shaft Bearing Lubrication (Frontier and
Avenger models)
Left and right hand side inner and outer idler shaft bearings
are tted with a right angled grease tting. With the front
oor pan removed, the left side inner idler shaft grease tting
is accessible at the bottom of the bearing ange. The right
side inner idler shaft grease tting is located at the top of
the ange. Both outer idler shaft bearing grease ttings are
located at the top of the ange. All of these can be accessed
conveniently with a grease gun tted with a exible extension
head. Grease with a small amount of a lithium based, NLGI
#2 or 3 mineral oil based grease, (such as Shell Alvania #3).
Apply every 50 hours of operation, if vehicle has been used
in water for extended periods of time or whenever major
maintenance is performed on the vehicle.
There are no inner greaseable idler shaft bearings on
HDi and HD models.
6.4.8 Output Shaft Lubrication (All HD & HDi Models
from Serial #'s 31035 & 17063)
Output shaft assemblies are equipped with a grease tting
(Figure 6-11) to allow lubrication to both splines of the shaft

and coupling connectors. Lubricate every 25 hours with a
lithium based, NLGI #2 or 3 mineral oil based grease, (such
as Shell Alvania #3). Wipe off excess.
Figure 6-11. Output shaft grease tting.
Do NOT apply excessive amounts of grease as this could
contaminate brake discs when vehicle is under applica-
tion and output shafts are turning at a high rate of speed.
6.4.9 Output Shaft Lubrication (2012 Models and on)
Output shaft spline couplers are equipped with a grease tting
(Figure 6-12) to allow lubrication to the spline of the shaft
and coupling connector. Lubricate every 25 hours with a
lithium based, NLGI #2 or 3 mineral oil based grease, (such
as Shell Alvania #3). Wipe off excess.

6.4.10 Inner Axle Bearing Lubrication
The inner axle anges are equipped with a grease nipple
(Figure 6-13). Lubricate the bearings with a small amount of a
lithium based, NLGI #2 or 3 mineral oil based grease, (such as
Shell Alvania #3). Apply every 50 hours or before the vehicle
