Question 1

How to replace the rear axle shaft on GMC Canyon?

Accepted Answer

Start the rear Axle Shaft replacement process by taking off tires and wheels first. First remove any necessary clip on the rear Brake Drum before taking out the rear brake drums from the vehicle. First remove the rear axle housing cover before removing the lock pin bolt then taking out the pinion shaft. The next step involves taking off the rear axle c-lock before extracting the rear Axle Shaft. The first step for installation consists of putting on the new rear Axle Shaft followed by attaching the c-lock to the rear axle. Install the pinion shaft after which install the lock bolt and secure it at 25 nm (18 lb ft). Reattach the rear brake drums as you install the rear axle housing cover along with its necessary gasket. Proper fluid needs to be placed into the rear axle before reinstalling the tire combined with wheel.

Question 2

How to replace the front axle shaft on GMC Yukon?

Accepted Answer

Then, to change the front wheel drive shaft, one must lift the car, remove the wheel and tire assembly. If available, remove the drive axle center cap. Attach a drift or a large screwdriver to ensure the drive axle wheel drive shaft cannot rotate by driving it down through the brake caliper into one of the brake rotor vanes. Leave the nut and washer from the hub and do not reuse them because a new one needs to be fitted for its use. Cut the drive shaft with your battery-powered sawzall (J 97817), and then use the axle remover (J 45859) to push the wheel drive shaft away from the hub, and take out the six bolts that hold the wheel drive shaft inboard flange to the output shaft flange in place. You should remove the drift from the rotor, and then detach the stabilizer shaft link from the lower Control Arm. Wrap shop towels around the wheel drive shaft boots (both inner & outer) to prevent damage during removal & installation, and pull the wheel drive shaft through the opening of the lower Control Arm. For installation, repeat wrapping shop towels around the boots and make sure the Steering Knuckle and wheel drive shaft splines & threads are clean and dry. Push the wheel drive shaft splined shank into the knuckle hub, and screw the washer(screw302) on, followed by the new hub nut(screw310) without actually tightening it. Mount the wheel drive shaft inboard flange on the output shaft flange by using the inboard flange bolts and packing a drift o-large screwdriver into one of the vanes of the brake rotor to prevent turning the wheel drive shaft. Tighten the inboard flange to 79 nm (58 ft. Lbs.) and the hub nut to 240 nm (177 ft. Lbs.). Take the drift out of the rotor, install the drive axle center cap, if any, reattach the stabilizer shaft link, install the wheel with a tire, and lastly, drop the car.

Question 3

How to replace the rear axle shaft on an 8.6 Inch Axle with Drum Brake and VSES on GMC Sierra 1500?

Accepted Answer

A technician must elevate and stabilize the vehicle before removing the tire alongside its wheel assembly to change the rear Axle Shaft on an 8.6 inch axle with drum brake and vses. Remove the rear Wheel Speed Sensor and the rear cover together with their attached gasket. Begin by removing the pinion shaft locking bolt on both non-locking differential axles before extracting the shaft or partially extracting it if the differential has a locking mechanism and rotating the case to let the shaft touch the differential housing. Position the screwdriver tool or equivalent tool to rotate the c-lock until proper alignment with the thrust block occurs. First remove the Brake Drum and afterward push inside the Axle Shaft while removing the c-lock from the Axle Shaft to extract it from the differential housing. The j 45859 and j 2619-01 tools will help you remove an axle that resists your efforts. When installing the differential Axle Shaft place it carefully into the differential housing while the splines meet up with the differential side gears. The proper installation of the c-lock requires placement on the button end of the Axle Shaft for non-locking differentials but placement on the Axle Shaft with the pinion shaft partially withdrawn for locking differentials with the ends aligned to the thrust block. Service personnel should extend the Axle Shaft outward to allow the lock into the differential gear before aligning the pinion shaft with the differential case. Tighten the new pinion shaft locking bolt to 34 n.m (25 lb ft). Reinstall all components in this sequence: the rear axle cover with a gasket and the rear Wheel Speed Sensor along with the tire and wheel assembly. Soak up fluid into the rear axle and after that take away the support to decrease the vehicle.
