Cleaning Notes

Thoroughly clean all parts. Do not soak or wash synthetic seals in cleaning solvents. Use only clean solvent to wash bearings. Oil bearings immediately after cleaning to prevent rusting. A visual inspection of parts will detect any major wear or damage. Clean inside of carrier and carrier housing before rebuilding and assembling parts.

If water is present in the axle or fluid loss is noted the cause may be a plugged axle vent. Ensure that the axle vent is clear of all obstructions by removing the vent from the axle and inspecting it. If the vent is plugged, place in a suitable vise and drill out the vent using a 3/16 inch drill bit. Install the vent and vent hose, ensuring entire vent hose is clear of obstructions.
