Chevrolet Silverado 2500 Axle Shaft Parts Questions & Experts Answers
Q: How to replace the rear axle shaft on 8.6 Inch and 9.5 Inch axles on Chevrolet Silverado 2500?
A: The process starts with Axle Shaft replacement on 8.6 inch and 9.5 inch axles by lifting the vehicle while removing the tire-wheel assembly then the brake caliper. Start by removing both the rear cover and gasket after that unfasten the bolt which locks the pinion shaft. When the Differential contains no locking mechanism users must remove the pinion shaft. Users with locking differentials can draw back their shaft partially before rotating the case so the pinion shaft engages with the housing. A screwdriver-like tool should rotate the locking mechanism until it reaches alignment with the thrust block. Push the flange of the Axle Shaft towards the Differential direction then remove the c-lock from the button end of the Axle Shaft . Rotating the Axle Shaft during removal must be avoided because misaligned gears will make reassembly more difficult to complete. Pull the Axle Shaft out of the housing. Insert the Axle Shaft into the rear axle housing with care to avoid damaging the seal while letting the splines engage the Differential side gear. Lock the button end of the Axle Shaft when a vehicle lacks a locking Differential. Users with locking differentials should place their c-locks onto axle shafts while maintaining pinion shaft partial withdrawal to achieve thrust block surface flushness. Use shaft flange pressure to insert the lock into the Differential gear and position the pinion shaft hole against the Differential case bolt hole. The new pinion shaft locking bolt must receive 36 nm (27 ft. Lbs.) torque when installing it for 8.6 inch axles or 50 nm (37 ft. Lbs.) torque for 9.5 inch axles. Proceed by installing the rear cover along with its gasket and afterward install the brake caliper and tire and wheel system. Finish the replacement by filling the rear axle with specified fluid then lower the vehicle.
