CAUTION
Take care when using lifting devices. When
you use a lifting strap, inspect the strap for
damage before you use it. Do not use a lifting
strap to shock load or drop load a component.
Serious personal injury and damage to
components can result.
If the axle being assembled is less wet brake, the
following assembly procedure is recommended. (All
steps are to be done to each axle housing flange end).
Should the axle be with wet brake, skip to next section.

rier is facing forward and secure the axle assembly so
no personal injury or component damage can occur.
