INSPECTION INSTRUCTIONS
Revision: -- Rigid axles
(with and without transmission)
1. Description
Apply oil SAE - 90 LS (API - class 5GL) to moving parts like bearings, gears as well as to brake
disks and disks of limited slip differential according to specification MIL - L - 2105 D.
Spray approx. 1 lLt of the specified oil into the interior of hubs/outputs and axle housing with axle
insert (to prevent corrosion!)
Breathe brake! Actuate brake approx. 10 times and then carry out the following pressure test.
a) Low-pressure test:
Generate an excess pressure of 5 bar (by means of a hydraulic press), the generated excess pressure
must not drop within a test duration of approx. 5 minutes.
MIL - L 46152
API-CC;CD;SC;SD;SE
DEXRON OF II D
Apply a high pressure of 150 bar, wait approx. 1 min.; the new default value (∼ 145 bar)
must not drop by more than 3% within 5 minutes.
Make basic setting, i.e. loosen fixing screw of brake adjustment, fully spread adjusting device -
centering) refasten screws tightly. Clear brake shoes by backing-off adjusting nut by 3-5 notches.
Brake drum must be clear.
To ensure a correct process of the safety related components urgently observe the following:
a) The tightening torques of the nut on hub carriers are recorded by a documenting screwdriver and
are then documented.
b) Should this thool (documenting screwdriver) not be available e.g. in service organizations or in
field assembly, so the operator, together with a second person, must monitor the tightening process
and confirm its correctness by signing the assembly order.
Then mark nut and counter piece with a securing agent (on the effected procedure).
In case of a separate oil circuit, turn in test connections into oil drain holes of axle housing and of
both outputs, and build up a pressure of 0.3 bar – consecutively axle housing /outputs.
In case of a common oil system, connect just 1x on the axle housing and build up pressure.
During pressure test rotate input flange with fixing bracket, ensure that both outputs are evenly
rotating in the correct sense of rotation.
