IdentificationSingle Reduction Carriers WithHydraulic Differential Lock (HDL)FeatureAxleTech single reduction carriers with hydraulic differential lock design (HDL) have the same type ofgears and bearings as carriers without the HDLfeature. Figure 1.1. The hydraulic differential lock isoperated by a hydraulic actuation pressure that hasits hydraulic actuation connection to the carrier shellassembly.
• When the differential lock is activated, the hydraulicpiston activates a lever force that compresses thefriction disc stack along the driver splines and thefriction disc stack applies the locking feature.
• When the hydraulic pressure is released, the frictiondisc stack is returned to the “non-apply” position asthe lever relaxes to eliminate friction drag.
• When the carrier operates with the hydraulic differential in the “locked” position, there is Nodifferential action between the wheels.
• When the carrier operates in the “non-pressurized”condition, there Is normal differential action betweenthe wheels.
An exploded view of Single Reduction CarrierAssembly With Hydraulic Differential Lock (HDL)Feature is shown on page 2. For Reference Only onpage 4, an exploded view of Single Reduction Carrierwith a Standard Differential is shown for comparison purposes to the carrier with the HDL DifferentialFeature. If you are working on a Single ReductionCarrier with a Standard Differential, refer toMaintenance Manual 5A.
The hydraulic differential lock assembly is currentlyavailable in both the standard single reduction carrierconfiguration and in the trunnion mount (oscillatingaxle) version of this same capacity carrier. The trunnioncarrier’s configuration has a trunnion bracket mountedon the different bearing cage with shared common internal components. Once the trunnion componentsare removed, the trunnion configuration carrier is serviced same as a non-trunnion carrier.

WARNINGTo prevent serious eye injury, always wear safeeye protection when you perform vehicle maintenance or service.
Park the vehicle on a level surface. Block thewheels to prevent the vehicle from moving.Support the vehicle with safety stands. Do notwork under a vehicle supported only by jacks.Jacks can slip and fall over. Serious personalinjury can result.
Use a brass or leather mallet for assembly anddisassembly procedures. do not hit steel partswith a steel hammer. Pieces of a part can breakoff and cause serious personal injury.
Hydraulic Differential Operation OverviewThe AxleTech single reduction carrier is equipped witha driver controlled hydraulically actuated main differ-ential lock (HDL) assembly. Once engaged, thehydraulic pressure applies through hydraulic pistonand lever assembly to compress a friction disk stackto lock the differential assembly. This effectively locksthe axle shafts together to remove any differentialaction until the hydraulic pressure is disengaged.Figure 2.1.
NOTE: The AxleTech carrier models equipped withhydraulic driver-controlled differential lock are manufactured in metric dimensions and sizes. Whenthese carriers are serviced, it is important to use thecorrect metric size tools on the fasteners. Refer to“Torque Table” in Section 6.
! Carrier Disassembly From TheVehicle Preliminary PreparationDisassembly From Vehicle:NOTE: Always follow the OEM recommended procedures for component removal from the vehicle.Listed below are our suggested guide comments forsafe removal and servicing of the axle and carriercomponents only.
WARNINGTo prevent serious eye injury, always wear safe eye protection when you perform vehicle maintenance or service.

Do notwork under a vehicle supported only by jacks.Jacks can slip and fall over. Serious personalinjury and damage to components can result.OEM service instructions should be followedwhen servicing these components under the vehicle.
NOTE: Any pre-cleaning on vehicle to removedirt/grease or corrosive material should be per vehiclemanufacturer recommendations. Care should betaken to cover the axle breather to limit additionalcontamination during pre-cleaning process.
1. Remove the magnetic oil drain plugs from the axlehousing bowl (1.06"-12) and each axle housingflange to drain the lubricant into a suitable contain-er. Note amount of metal on the magnetic drainplug and clean drain plug.
2. Remove and plug the hydraulic differential actua-tion line and the connection to the axle with integralwet brakes by following the OEM vehicle manufac-tures instructions to close hydraulic valves andplug lines and safe draining of fluids as required.Also disconnect any supplement greasing linesshould the trunnion carrier design require servicingper OEM vehicle manufacturers recommendation.
3. Disconnect the vehicle propshaft from the axleinput yoke per vehicle manufacturer recommenda-tions. If carrier being serviced is of trunnion design,please follow the servicing instructions in the sepa-rate axle manual to provide for correct and safeservicing recommendations. Care should be takenso personal injury does not occur.
WARNINGTake care when using lifting devices. When you use a lifting strap, inspect the strap for damage before you use it. Do not use a liftingstrap to shock load or drop load a component.Serious personal injury and damage to components can result.

Axle Setup For HDL CarrierDisassembly
Trunnion Design HDL CarrierAssembly
CAUTIONIf axle being removed has the trunnion feature,Caution to note the trunnion bracket assembly onthe carrier input is loose on the axle assembly. Atemporary strap to secure the trunnion bracket tothe axle assembly during axle removal from thevehicle is recommended so personal injury andcomponent damage is protected.
1. To remove the carrier assembly from an axle withthe trunnion feature, refer to the correct axle man-ual for safe and recommended procedure toremove the individual trunnion components prioractual carrier removal. Once the trunnion feature isremoved, the recommended procedure is the sameas for the Carrier with HDL, less the trunnion.
Standard HDL Carrier Assembly 1. Remove the planetary wheel ends/wet brakes, if so
equipped, and axle shafts per the recommendedprocedure in axle manual that is provided for axlebeing serviced.
2. Attach an approved lifting device ,after carefullyinspecting the lifting straps. Figure 2.2.

NOTE: These capscrews have high strength threadcompound applied during original production assembly.
3. Remove the metric capscrews (M16X2) and wash-ers that retain the carrier into the axle housing andplace the carrier safely and secure in a carrierstand or on a work bench so the carrier assemblywill not fall and cause personal injury or componentdamage. A typical carrier stand design is shown inthe tools section of this manual, see Section 7.
Note: The trunnion and standard carrier assemblieshave different quantity of metric capscrews and washers in this carrier to axle housing joint.
Note: A liquid gasket has been applied to the carrier to axle housing joint during original production assembly.
WARNINGUse a rawhide or brass mallet for disassembly andassembly procedures. Do not hit steel parts with asteel hammer. Pieces of a part can break off andcause serious injury. Use of safety glasses is alwaysrecommended when servicing the axle components.
Carrier Disassembly ProcedureShould the carrier upon inspection require disassem-bly, please use the following steps after the carrier issecurely retained for safe disassembly so no personal injury can occur. A carrier stand that will permit the carrier assembly to rotate is recommendedfor teardown and assembly with access to both topand bottom areas of the assembly.

7. Measure the diameter of the bearing cage wherethe cord was wound. Measure in inches or centimeters. Figure 4.7.
8. Divide the dimension in half to get the radius.Record the radius dimension.
9. Use the following procedure to calculate the bearing preload or torque.
• Pounds Pulled x Radius (inches) = lbf-in Preload-Preload x 0.113 = N•m Preload• Kilograms Pulled x Radius (cm) = kgf-cmPreload-Preload x 0.098 = N•m Preload
or
Examples• Reading from spring scale = 7.5 pounds (3.4 kg)
• Diameter of bearing cage = 6.62-inches (16.8 cm)
• Radius of bearing cage = 3.31-inches (8.4 cm)7.5 lb x 3.31 in = 24.8 in-lb PreloadPreload x 0.113 = 2.8 N•m Preload
or3.4 kg x 8.4 cm = 28.6 kg-cm PreloadPreload x 0.098 = 2.8 N•m Preload
10. If the preload or torque of pinion bearings is notwithin 5-45 lb-in (0.56-5.08 N•m) for new pinionbearings or 10-30 lb-in (1.13-3.39 N•m) for usedpinion bearings in good condition, adjust thespacer and repeat Steps 1 through 9.
• To increase preload: Install a thinner bearing spacer.
• To decrease preload: Install a thicker bearing spacer.
Seal InstallationAfter the pinion bearing preload is correct, then thepinion seal(s) can be installed.

InstallationDifferential And Ring Gear AssemblyInto Carrier1. Apply 1.5mm x 360 degree bead of adhesive
STF 02-452 or STF 02-458 to bearing bores in carrier and bearing caps. Apply adhesive aroundthe circumference of the smooth, ground surfacesonly. Do not place adhesive on threaded areas.Figure 4.30. Do not get oil on the outer diameterof the bearing cup and do not permit oil to driponto the bearing bores.
!
NOTE: After complete application, liquid anaerobiccompounds can be left in place for a short time.However, they will generate a skin where they are incontact with metal surfaces as metal contact alsoactivates the polymerization process. A thick skin willprevent the material from flowing uniformly into theassembled joint. You must complete the procedurewithin two hours from the time you apply the adhe-sive. If two hours have passed since application,clean the adhesive from the parts and apply newadhesive.

Check Gear Set Tooth ContactPatterns (Backlash)Some AxleTech carriers have a generoid hypoid gearset. The tooth contact patterns for each type of gearset are different. Check the part numbers to determine what type of gear set is in the carrier.Refer to Figure 4.41 for the location of part numbers.
ExamplesGeneroid gear sets are identified by K or K2 suffix inthe parts numbers.
• 41272-K or 41272-K2 for the ring gear
• 41723-K or 41723-K2 for the drive pinion
In the following procedures, movement of the contact pattern in the length of the tooth is indicatedas toward the heel or toe of the ring gear. Figure 4.42.
Always check tooth contact patterns on the driveside of the gear teeth. Figure 4.43.
1. Adjust the backlash of a new gear set to either0.012-inch (0.305 mm) or 0.015-inch (0.380 mm)depending on the size of the ring gear. Adjust thebacklash of an old gear set to the setting that youmeasured before the carrier was disassembled.Refer to Ring Gear Backlash Adjustment.
2. Apply a marking compound onto approximately 12gear teeth of the ring gear. Rotate the ring gear sothat the 12 gear teeth are next to the drive pinion.Figure 4.44.
3. Rotate the ring gear forward and backward so that the 12 gear teeth go past the drive pinion sixtimes to get the contact patterns. Repeat if needed to get a clearer pattern.

4. Look at the contact patterns on the ring gearteeth. Compare the patterns to Figures 4.45, 4.46 and 4.47.
The location of good hand-rolled contact patterns fornew conventional and generoid gear sets is towardthe toe of the gear tooth and in the center betweenthe top and bottom of the tooth. Figure 4.45.
When the carrier is operated, a good pattern willextend approximately the full length of the geartooth. The top of the pattern will be near the top of the gear tooth. Figure 4.48.
The location of a good hand-rolled contact patternfor an old gear set must match the wear pattern inthe ring gear. The new contact pattern will be smallerin area than the old wear pattern.
A high contact pattern indicates that the drive pinionwas not installed deep enough into the carrier. A lowcontact pattern indicates that the drive pinion wasinstalled too deep in the carrier.
• If the contact patterns require adjustment:Continue by following Step 5 to move the contact patterns between the top and bottom of the gear teeth.
• If the contact patterns are in the center of thegear teeth: Continue by following Step 6.
5. Change the thickness of the shim pack under thebearing cage to move the contact patternsbetween the top and bottom of the gear teeth.Use the following procedure.
A. Remove the drive pinion and bearing cagefrom the carrier. Refer to Drive Pinion andBearing Cage from the Carrier in Section 2.

LubricationBreather
CAUTIONCover the breather when steam cleaning the axlehousing to prevent water from entering the axle housing and contaminating the oil. Damage to components will result. Breathers releasepressure and vacuum condensation to help maximize oil and component life.
Seals
CAUTIONAlways use the correct tools and procedureswhen replacing seals to prevent incorrect installation and leaking seals. Seals keep lubrication in and dirt out of a component.When they are worn or damaged, seals leak and produce damaging low lubricant levels thatwill damage components.
Oil LevelCheck and Adjust:Correct procedure to check oil level in the axle assembly:
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface. Place blocksin front and back of the rear axle wheels to keepthe vehicle from moving.
2. Clean the area around the fill plug in the axlehousing. Remove the plug from the axle housingassembly. The oil level must be level with the bottom of the fill plug hole.
• If the oil flows from the hole when you loosenthe plug: the oil level is too high. Drain the oiltoo the correct level.
NOTE: Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendation of disposal of the oil drained from the axle housing assembly to assure disposal is in an environmentally friendly procedure.
NOTE: Oil level too high may cause damage to theseals and other components. It is essential the correct oil level be maintained for component damage not to occur.
• If the oil level is below the bottom of the fill plug:Add the specified oil according to the followingprocedure: Fill the axle housing assembly withthe specified oil through the fill plug hole. Wait afew minutes to allow the oil to flow through theentire axle housing assembly. Check the oil leveland fill to the correct level, if necessary.
NOTE: Too low an oil level could cause componentdamage as proper lubrication may not be available

to protect against component damage.
3. Install and tighten the fill plug to the correct torquespecification. Refer to “Torque Table” in Section 6.
Approved Oil ListingsSpecific oils other than those listed should haveapproval prior use in this assembly as damage mayoccur to components in axle assembly. ReferenceAxleTech International oil and grease base specifications STC05-000 for descriptions of oils andSTC 05-200 for greases that meet the AxleTech specifications and approved criterion. These specificationsincludes the use of Petroleum, Semi-Synthetic andFull Synthetic oils. This specification should bereviewed when questions relating to Oil Compatibility,use of Synthetic oils, and seal compatibility are beingconsidered. See attached chart for recommendedlubricant cross reference (Viscosity) and TemperatureChart to provide recommendations of oil viscositiesrecommended based on ambient temperature rangein vehicle service.
Approved GreaseRecommendations for Axle TrunnionAssemblyGrease: Multipurpose Grease (1)

Section 5Lubrication
- 43 -
As sump temperatures exceed 250°F (121°C), theoxidation rate of the oil increases rapidly. Syntheticbased oils have been shown to offer a 50°F higheroperating temperature advantage and up to a fivefold increase in sump life, exhibiting degradationrates at 325°F (190°C) that are similar to petroleumbased oils at 275°F (135°C). However, the advantagesof synthetic based oils are minimal at sump temperatures below 250°F (121°C). Operating conditions that result in sump temperatures in excess of 250°F (121°C) should be investigated and corrected immediately as the oil life, bearing and gear contact fatigue lives and bending fatiguedurability are all at risk.
Torque Values For FastenersGeneral Information1. If you do not know the size of the fastener that is
being installed, measure the fastener. Use the following procedure.
American Standard Fasteners
A. Measure the diameter of the threads in inches,dimension X. Figure 6.1.
B. Count the amount of threads in 1-inch. Figure 6.1.
ExampleAmerican Standard size fastener is 0.50-13.
• 0.50 is the diameter of the fastener in inches or dimension X.
• 13 is the amount of threads in 1-inch.
Metric Fasteners
A. Measure the diameter of the threads in millimeters (mm), dimension X. Figure 6.2.
B. Measure the distance of 10 threads, point to pointin millimeters (mm), dimension Y. Make a note ofdimension Y. Figure 6.2.
C. Divide dimension Y by 10. The result will be thedistance between two threads or pitch.
Example• Metric size fastener is M8 x 1.25.
• M8 is the diameter of the fastener in millimeters(mm) or dimension X.
• 1.25 is the distance between two threads or pitch.
2. Compare the size of fastener measured in Step 1to the list of fasteners in Table E to find the correcttorque value.
