Collapsible Spacer Assembly
When assembling the axle, if the special tools listed in the
Service Tools - Axles section or if the correct size solid
spacer is not available it is acceptable to fit a collapsible
spacer using the procedure below.
1 Smear output shaft inner bearing 27 with JCB HP
Grease before refitting. Fit bearing cup 28 over pinion
shaft 23 and assemble into drive head casing.
2 Fit NEW collapsible spacer 24, after smearing with JCB
HP Grease fit outer bearing 26 followed by a new oil seal
25. Grease between seal lips before fitting. Assemble
yoke 22 and NEW stake nut 20 with integral washer.
3 Tighten stake nut to achieve a rolling torque of 1.5 to 2.8
Nm (1.1 to 21. lbf ft), inclusive of seal drag.

must be dismantled and the collapsible spacer 24 renewed.
