8. Identify each axle shaft that is removed from
the axle assembly so they can be installed
in the same location after transporting or re-
pair is completed.
9. Remove the conical washers, gasket, if
used, and the axle shaft from the axle as-
sembly. Figure 11.9.
10. Install a cover over the open end of each
hub where an axle shaft was removed. This
will prevent dirt from entering the bearing
cavity and loss of lubricant
NOTE:
If an air supply will be used for the brake
system of the transported vehicle, continue
with Step 11 and Step 12, otherwise contin-
ue with Step 13.
11. Connect an auxiliary air supply to the brake
system of the vehicle that is being transport-
ed. Before moving the vehicle, charge the
brake system with the correct amount of air
pressure to operate the brakes. Refer to the
instructions supplied by the manufacturer
ofthevehicleforproceduresandspecica-
tions. If an auxiliary air supply is not used,
continue with Step 13.
12. When the correct amount of air pressure is in
the brake system, release the parking brakes
of the vehicle that is being transported. Step
13 is not required.
13. If there are spring or parking brakes on the
axle(s) that will remain on the road when the
vehicle is transported, and they cannot be re-
leased by air pressure, manually compress
and lock each spring so that the brakes are
released. See the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions.
After Towing or Drive-Away:
1. If an auxiliary air supply was used, apply the
vehicle parking brakes using the switch inside
the cab of the vehicle. If an auxiliary air supply
was not used, begin with Step 2.
2. Apply the vehicle spring or parking brakes by
manually releasing each spring that was com-
pressed before transporting started. See the
manufacturer’s instructions.
3. Disconnect the auxiliary air supply, if used,
from the brake system of the vehicle that was
transported
Connect the vehicle’s air supply to the brake
system.
4. Remove the covers from the hubs.
5. Install the gasket, if used, and axle shaft into
the axle housing and differential in the same
location. The gasket and ange of the axle
shaftmustbeatagainstthehub.Rotatethe
axle shaft or the driveline as necessary to
align the splines and the holes in the ange
with the studs in the hub. Figure 11.9.
6. Install the conical washers, se usadas, if used,
over each stud and into the tapered holes of
theange.
7. Install the washers and capscrews or stud
nuts. Determine the size of the fasteners and
tighten the capscrews or nuts to the torque
value shown in Table AL.
