shafts. Thoraughly c1ean the universal joints and
housings and refill the housings with universal
joint lubricant. Use No. 1 for summer and No. ()
for winter.
8-12. Steering Gear
Check the lubricant level in the steering gear hous-
ing at each 1000 miles [1.600 km.] to be sure that
the lubricant is at filler plug opening leve!. Should
lubricant be required fill the housing slowly with
a hand compressor. Do not overlook replacing the
fi11plug.
8-13. Front Wheel 8earings
Seasonally, or at each 6000 miles [9.600 km.],
(10,000 miles [16.000 km.] for the Dispatcher), re-
move the front wheels and repack the bearings
with wheel bearing grease. Work the grease into
the cage holding the rollers.
Follow this same procedure for wheel bearings
for 23-2 (full-floating) rear axle installed on early
CJ-2A Models.
8-14. Rear Wheel 8earings
The rear wheel bearings are equipped with lubri-
cation fittings with a vent opening through the
housings above each fitting. Lubricate each 1000
miles [1.600 km.]. Use a hand compressor and wheel
bearing grease, forcing the grease through each lu-
brication fitting until it flows fram the vent. Vent
should be kept c1ear of obstruction or grease will
back up into the brakes. Do not add grease after
it flows from the vent for it may be forced through
the wheel keyway onto the outside of the wheel
and possibly onto the brake linings.
For Model CJ-2A with 23-2 (full-floating) rear
axle follow the procedure of Par. B-ll for removing
and repacking the rear wheel bearings.
8-15. 3-Speed Transmission and
Transfer Case
. Models CJ-2A, CJ-3A, CJ-3B, CJ-s, CJ-6
Maintain lubricant at fill plug level in both trans-
mission and transfer case. Check level each 1000
miles [1.600 km.] and add lubricant when necessary.
Drain and refill both housings each 10,000 miles
[16.000 km.].
Service each assembly individual1y even though
drilled passages are provided in the housings for
oil circulation and unit lu brication on all models
except C]-2A before Serial No. 24196.
Hard shifting of the gears in cold weather is a
positive indication that the lubricant is too heavy
agrade or the quality allows it to congeal at the
prevailing temperature. If the oil is too heavy for
easy shifting it will not praperly lubricate the
closely fitted parts. Change the lubricant to a
lighter grade.
8-16. 3-Speed Transmission
. Model D J -3A
Maintain lubricant at fill plug leve!. Check level
each 1000 miles [1.600 km.] and add lubricant when
necessary. Drain and refill housing each 10,000
miles [16.000 km.].

TION
8-17. Optional 4-Speed Transmission
and Transfer Case
. Models CJ-5 and CJ-6
The four-speed transmission and transfer case re-
quire separa te lubrication for each unit as they
have no cross-over oil passage. At each transmission
service check, the fill plugs of both four-speed
transmission and transfer case should be pulled
and the lubricant refilled to level if necessary.
8-18. Front and Rear Axle Differentials
Check the level in each unit every 1000 miles
[1.600 km.] to be sure that they are filled to the
level of the filler plug openings. Drain and refill
the housings every 10,000 miles [16.000 km.].
Do not mix different types of lubricants. Use a
light engine or flushing oil to c1ean out the hous-
ings. Do not use water, steam, kerosene or gaso-
line for flushing.
8-19. Powr-Lok Differential
Some vehic1es are equipped with locking differential
(optional equipment). For identification of this
unit, see Par. N-15. Ordinary lubricants must
not be used in the locking differentia!. Use only
Willys Powr-Lok Differential Oil, Part No. 94557,
furnished in pint canso
Powr-Lok differential may be c1eaned only by

with light graphite grease.
8-28. Clutch Linkage
Lubricate all friction points of the c1utch linkage
every 1000 miles [1.600 km.]. Use the same grade
of engine oíl as used for the engíne. Faílure to lubri-

8-29. 80dy
Often attention is not given to the proper lubrica-
tion of the body hardware. However, when this is
done it should be called to the owner's attention
to avoid soiled c1othing. A few drops of oil should
be placed on the tail gate and hood hinges. The
hood catch, hand brake ratchet, cowl ventilator
control, and hood prop should be oiled for easy
operation.
8-30. ADDITIONAL PERIODIC SERVICES
8-31. Brake Master Cylinder
Check the fluid level in the brake master cylinder
every 1000 miles [1.600 km.]. Wipe c1ean the top
of the filler cap and also the housing area around it.
Replenish the brake fluid to a level 72" [1,3 cm.]
below the top of the fill hole. Use only heavy-duty
brake Huid conforming to specification SAE-70-R3.
Be sure to handle the brake fluid in c1ean dispensers
and containers that will not introduce even the
slightest amount of other liquids. Replace and
tighten the filler cap.
8-32. Radiator
The exterior of the radiator core should be c1eaned
and the radiator inspected for leaks each 1000
miles [1.600 km.] of normal service of the vehic1e.
If the vehic1e is subjected to considerable off-the-
road operation, this interval should be each 1000
miles or 30 days, whichever interval occurs first.
Refer to Par. H-6.
8-33. Cooling System
The cooling system should be flushed twice ayear
and checked for leaks, preferably in the spring and
fall at the time of changing the antifreeze. Refer
to Par. H-1.

Hydraulic direct-action shock absorbers are per-
manently sealed and require no periodic lubrica-
tion service. AIso the shock absorber mounting

When servicing the unit, use a suitable tool to
dislodge dirt c1inging to the bottom and sides of
the intake passage within the body of the c1eaner.
8-44. Front Axle Shaft Universal Joints
The front axle steering knuckle pivot pins (king
pins) are supported in housings at each end of the
front axle which also enc10se the front axle shaft
universal joints.
Maintain the lubricant level in the housings even
with the filler plug openings at all times. For field
or industrial use remo ve the universal joints twice
year1y, thoroughly c1ean both the housings and
joints with a suitable solvent and refill the housings
to the filler plug opening levels with the correct
lubricant as shown in the appropriate Lubrication
Specification Chart.
8-45. Transmission and Transfer Case
The combined capacity of the two housings is
small for economy, making it important that the
lubricant be changed at regular intervals.
For heavy duty farm or industrial work, drain
both housings every 300 hours of operation and re-
filI to the filler plug opening levels.

8-46. Front and Rear Axle Differentials
Because of the higher pressures developed in the
axle assemblies with heavy-duty operation drain,
flush, and refill the differential assemblies each 300
hours of operation. Use only flushing oil or light
engine oil to c1ean out the housings (except Powr-
Lok differentials).
8-47. Power Take-Off and Pulley Drive
Check the lubrication level each time the vehic1e
is lubricated to be sure that the housings are filled
