How to Service and Repair an Axle Shaft on Buick Rainier?

Starting the rear Axle Shaft replacement process requires raising the vehicle along with removing the tire wheel assembly and brake caliper. Begin by removing the pinion shaft locking bolt after stripping off the rear axle housing cover with its gasket. Axle replacement requires pinion shaft removal for systems without locking differentials. Before turning the case, those with locking differentials should partially remove the shaft and position the pinion until it touches housing walls. A screwdriver serves to rotate the c-lock while you align its position with the thrust block. Once aligned push the flange of the Axle Shaft toward the Differential and remove the c-lock from the button end of the Axle Shaft. Maintain the Axle Shaft in its correct position to prevent gear misalignment. Slide the new Axle Shaft into the rear axle housing while making sure it fits correctly against the Differential side gear by its splines. When working with axles lacking a locking Differential, install the c-lock component on the button side of the shaft. Rear Differential lock-equipped vehicles require partial pinion shaft withdrawal while users place the c-lock directly onto the Axle Shaft with both ends facing the thrust block. Apply downward pressure on the shaft flange until the c-lock locates within the Differential gear then position the pinion shaft hole next to the Differential case bolt opening. Use the new pinion shaft locking bolt then apply 36 nm (27 ft. Lbs.) of torque. Reinstall the rear axle housing cover and gasket followed by brake caliper and tire and wheel assembly to complete the repair. Finish the repair by filling the rear axle with correct axle lubricant before lowering the vehicle.
