CAUTION: When setting axle shaft end play, both rear wheels must be off the ground, other- wise a false end play setting will occur.

(1) Using a dial indicator mounted on the left brake support (Fig. 14), TURN THE ADJUSTER CLOCKWISE UNTIL BOTH WHEEL BEARINGS ARE SEATED AND THERE IS ZERO END PLAY IN THE AXLE SHAFTS. BACK OFF THE ADJUSTER COUN- TERCLOCKWISE APPROXIMATELY FOUR NOTCHES TO ESTABLISH AN AXLE SHAFT END PLAY OF .008-.018 INCH.

(2) Tap end of left axle shaft lightly with a non- metallic mallet to seat right wheel bearing cup against adjuster, and rotate axle shaft several revolutions so that a true end play reading is indicated.

(3) Remove one retainer plate nut, install adjuster lock. If tab on lock does not mate with notch in adjuster, turn adjuster slightly until it does. In- stall nut and tighten 30-35 foot-pounds.

(4) Recheck axle shaft end play. If it is not within the tolerance of .008-.018 inch, then repeat adjustment procedure.

(5) Remove dial indicator and install
