Removing drive shafts

Remove the drive shafts.

Removing the final drive





Remove the final drive from the hoist.

Removing the viscous coupling housing and coupling





Position the final drive with the viscous coupling housing and coupling on a workbench. Support the front with a wooden block.

Remove the 3 screws for the viscous coupling housing and coupling.

Pull the viscous coupling housing and coupling straight out of the final drive.

Clear up any oil spill.

Checking the viscous coupling housing and viscous coupling





Check the viscous coupling housing and coupling.

Installing the viscous coupling housing and coupling
Position the new final drive on a workbench.

Support the front with a wooden block.

Lubricate the pinion seal lip with wheel bearing grease (P/N 1161241-3).

Install the unit. Tighten the screws. Tighten to 25 Nm.

Installing the final drive housing on the mobile jack
Position the lower cover and the final drive on the mobile jack. Tighten the hose clamp over the viscous coupling housing and the universal plate.

Lubricate the lips on the sealing rings for the drive shafts. Use grease 1161241-3.





Press the drive shafts into place in the final drive housing.

Pull the inner joint housings to check that the snap rings on the shafts have engaged in their channels on the final drive

Note: Be very careful when positioning the shaft in the resting position. The inner joint may be damaged if the shaft releases under its own weight.
