REASSEMBLY
The ratchet key is unique for each side. The ratchet holder, pinion, and spring must be installed in the appropriate
direction for the left and right wheel pinion assemblies.
IMPORTANT:
Only use an extreme pressure NLGI #2 GC-LB wheel bearing grease. Proper application of the correct grease is
critical to ensure proper operation. DO NOT USE anti-seize, white lithium, silicone, WD-40, or any other spray
lubricant.
1. Install the inner washer onto the axle shaft and up against the
inner circlip.
2. Rotate the axle so that the keyway is facing up, and then fill the
axle shaft keyway with grease.
3. Install the ratchet holder onto the axle shaft in the appropriate
position.
4. Completely fill the key pocket in the ratchet holder with grease.
The ratchet holder has an L (left
side) marking and an R (right
side) marking. The key pocket
closest to the L marking should
be aligned with the axle shaft
keyway for the left-hand side
and the key pocket closest to
the R should be aligned with the
axle shaft keyway for the
right-hand side.
