3. Pack the axle shaft bearing with 2 ounces of No. 3 fiber grease. Work the grease thoroughly under the roller cone and around the rollers performing the operation the same as on front wheel bearings. (See figure 34.) Do not apply extra grease on the axle shaft or in the housing when installing the shaft.
4. Install the axle shaft in the axle housing and mesh the end splines in the differential gear. Slide the shaft into place. (See figure 35.) Be careful during the axle Installation not to drag the shaft across the oil seal.
5. Install the axle shaft bearing cup and shims, having previously wiped the shims free of dirt. Make sure cup does not cock or wedge itself in the housing, or backing plate will become bent when tightened, I tapped it in with an upholstery hammer and small block of wood.
