INTRODUCTION
The efficiency and continued operation of mechanical units depend on constant, correct maintenance and also on efficient re-
pair work, should there be a break-down or malfunction. The instructions contained in this manual have been based on a com-
plete overhaul of the unit. However, it is up to the mechanic to decide whether or not it is necessary to assemble only individual
components, when partial repair work is needed. The manual provides a quick and sure guide which, with the use of photogra-
phs and diagrams illustrating the various phases of the operations, allows accurate work to be performed.All the information
needed for correct disassembly, checks and assembly of each individual component is set out below. In order to remove the
differential unit from the vehicle, the manuals provided by the vehicle manufacturer should be consulted. In describing the fol-
lowing operations it is presumed that the unit has already been removed from the vehicle.

IMPORTANT: In order to facilitate work and protect both working surfaces and operators, it is advisable to use proper equip-
ment such as: trestles or supporting benches, plastic or copper hammers, appropriate levers, pullers and specific spanners or
wrenches. Before going on to disassemble the parts and drain the oil, it is best to thoroughly clean the unit, removing any en-
crusted or accumulated grease.

INTRODUCTORY REMARKS: All the disassembled mechanical units should be thoroughly cleaned with appropriate products
and restored or replaced if damage, wear, cracking or seizing have occurred. In particular, thoroughly check the condition of
all moving parts (bearings, gears, crown wheel and pinion, shafts) and sealing parts (o-rings, oil shields) which are subject to
major stress and wear. In any case, it is advisable to replace the seals every time a component is overhauled or repaired. During
assembly, the sealing rings must be lubricated on the sealing edge. In the case of the crown wheel and pinion, replacement of
one component requires the replacement of the other one. During assembly, the prescribed pre-loading, backlash and torque
of parts must be maintained.

SPECIFIC EQUIPMENT AND SPARE PARTS: The drawings of all specific tools required for maintenance and repair work can
be found at the end of this manual ; spare parts may be ordered either from the vehicle manufacturer or directly from the Service
Centers or Authorized Distributors of SPICER.

OIL DRAINING MANDATORY PROCEDURE

OIL DRAINING MANDATORY PROCEDURE

WARNING
• Do not attempt any maintenance if the axle is hot (40-50°C / 104-122°F). Hot oil and components can cause personal in-
jury. Avoid skin contact. Wear protective gloves and glasses.
• Make sure all fluids are contained during inspection, maintenance, tests, adjustment and repair of the product. Prepare a
suitable container to collect the fluid before removing any component containing fluids. Dispose of all fluids following legal
and local regulations.

CENTRAL HOUSING
Before draining oil it is mandatory to loosen the oil filling plug or the breather (if present), and wait until the internal pressure is
completely released. Remove the oil draining plug and drain oil only when the pressure is completely released.

PLANETARY GEAR REDUCTION


Before draining oil it is mandatory to rotate the planetary gear reduction in order to move the oil plug in filling position, then
loosen the oil plug and wait until the internal pressure is completely released. Remove the oil plug and drain oil only when the
pressure is completely released.

LUBRICANT & SEALANT SPECIFICATIONS

LUBRICANT & SEALANT SPECIFICATIONS


1 - Locking, sealing and lubricating materials referred to in this manual are the same used in the shop-floor.
2 - The table below gives an account of the typical applications of each single material, in order to facilitate replacement with
similar products marketed by different brand names with different trade marks.
LOCTITE 242
Anaerobic product apt to prevent the loosening of screws, nuts and plugs. Used for medium-strength locking. Before using it,
completely remove any lubricant by using the specific activator.
LOCTITE 243
The oleocompatible alternative to 242. Does not require the activation of lubricated surfaces.
LOCTITE 270
Anaerobic product for very-high strength locking of screws and nuts. Before using it, completely remove any lubricant by using
the specific activator.
To remove parts, it may be necessary to heat them at 80° C approximately.
LOCTITE 275
Anaerobic product suitable for high-strength locking and sealing of large threaded parts, bolts and stud bolts, for pipe sealing
and for protecting parts against tampering; suitable for sealing coupling surfaces with a maximum diametrical clearance of 0.25
mm.
LOCTITE 510
Anaerobic product for the hermetic sealing of flanged units and screw holes communicating with fluids. Can seal clearances
between flanges up to 0.2 mm.
LOCTITE 577
Quick anaerobic sealant for sealing threaded portions of conical or cylindrical unions up to M80. Before using it, remove any
lubricant with the specific activator. After polymerisation, disassembly may result rather difficult, so heating may be necessary
for larger diameters.
LOCTITE 638
Anaerobic adhesive for fast and high-strength gluing of cylindrical metal joints (hub on shaft). Can glue together parts with cle-
arance ranging between 0.1 and 0.25 mm.
LOCTITE 648
Anaerobic adhesive for fast and medium-strength gluing of cylindrical metal joints (hub on shaft). Can glue together parts with
radial clearance below 0.1 mm.
AREXONS (REPOSITIONABLE JOINTING COMPOUND FOR SEALS)
Solvent-based sealing compound for elastic seals, drying through evaporation. Used for sealing the outer diameter of sealing
rings for rotating shafts with outer metal reinforcement.
SILICONE
Semi-fluid adhesive material used for sealing and filling and to protect components from environmental and physical elements.
Polymerises with non-corrosive dampness.
TECNO LUBE/101 (SILICONE-BASED GREASE)
Highly adhesive synthetic grease, with silicone compounds added.
Applied to adjustment screws with hole communicating with oil-type fluids.
Used when frequent adjusting is required.
MOLIKOTE (DOW CORNING)
Lubricating compound containing molybdenum disulphide, used to lubricate articulation pins and to prevent sticking and oxi-
dation of parts that are not lubricated on a regular basis.
(LITHIUM-BASED) GREASE
Applied to bearings, sliding parts and used to lubricate seals or parts during assembly.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1 - During all operations described in this manual, the axle should be fastened onto a trestle, while the other parts
mentioned should rest on supporting benches.
2 - When removing one of the arms, an anti-tilting safety trestle should be placed under the other arm.
3 - When working on an arm that is fitted on the machine, make sure that the supporting trestles are correctly po-
sitioned and that the machine is locked lengthways.
4 - Do not admit any other person inside the work area; mark off the area, hang warning signs and remove the igni-
tion key from the machine.
5 - Use only clean, quality tools; discard all worn, damaged, lowquality or improvised wrenches and tools. Ensure
that all torque wrenches have been checked and calibrated.
6 - During maintenance operations, always wear protective glasses, safety footwear, protective gloves and all
P.P.E. (Personal Protective Equipment) in function of the risks which the workers may be exposed to.
7 - Should you stain a surface with oil, remove marks straight away.
8 - Dispose of all lubricants, seals, rags and solvents once work has been completed. Treat them as special waste
and dispose of them according to the relative law provisions obtaining in the country where the axles are being
overhauled.
9 - Make sure that only weak solvents are used for cleaning purposes; avoid using turpentine, dilutants and toluol,
xylolbased or similar solvents; use light solvents such as Kerosene, mineral spirits or water-based, environment
friendly solvents.
10 - For the sake of clarity, the parts that do not normally need to be removed have not been reproduced in some
of the diagrams.
11 - After repair work has been completed, accurately touch up any coated part that may have been damaged.
12 - Follow all safety instructions in the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) manual that came with the vehicle.
13 - Before draining oil, release the internal pressure, for details see OIL DRAINING MANDATORY PROCEDURE
p. 12.
