beatngu Posted June 13, 2017 Author Share Posted June 13, 2017 Alrighty I guess there is no quick and dirty for this one. I will just make up some cribbing for her to sit on for a couple days.

beatngu Posted June 16, 2017 Author Share Posted June 16, 2017 Got everything apart today with moderate language. How do I get the seal and bearing out of the rear of the hub ?

terry Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Some say use a rolling pry bar between inner bearing and seal, I use a long drift and knock bearing and seal out together. terry 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50162-crd73-wheel-seal/#findComment-372428 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Mack Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 as terry says... try a heel bar, be careful if you use a steel punch which can damage, 2x4 or big dowel would work too... if you can find an installation tool that would make life easier don't forget to pack the bearing with a bit of grease, they need that until the lube oil eventually gets there, you can tilt the axle to help flow or drive opposite wheel up on a mound, then recheck diff level. any oil get on the linings?

beatngu Posted June 17, 2017 Author Share Posted June 17, 2017 Yes the linings look to be soaked I read up on some remedies. One being brake clean and a propane torch. But someone loaned me the appropriate tool and came out pretty easy. Got a good part number so next week it can go back together. Is there a torque spec for the large spindle nuts and axle shaft bolts?

BC Mack Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 I don't have torque specs for you... I use 45 years of judgement which means I tighten nuts up until my elbow clicks..!!! LOL minor surface oil, yes, brake clean them and sandpaper... if totally soaked I don't bother with the old wives tales, unless dollars are very tight just buy an exchange set of linings checking the other side too... of course with things mechanical this can open up a can of worms if the drums are out of spec so I will leave it for others to offer you cleaning remedies.

thomastractorsvc Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Did you get torqued up right? Supposed to be 200 to seat the seal and bearing then back off full turn torque to 50 ft lbs while turning the wheel then back off 1/4 turn and check slop. .001 to .005 then lock washer then outer nut to 300 to 400 ft pounds for dowel style or 200 to 275 for tang style Quote Robert"I reject your reality and substitute my own."

beatngu Posted June 30, 2017 Author Share Posted June 30, 2017 Don't have a big enough socket to torque it yet but thank you for the heads up. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50162-crd73-wheel-seal/#findComment-373762 Share on other sites More sharing options...
