How to Service and Repair Axle Shafts on Dodge Challenger?

It's recommended to replace the axle seals on the 198 RII and 215 RII with Installer 9223. After that, cover the hub by installing the washer for halfshaft which allows for parts rotation in both directions, but also make sure to have a new hub nut as the other one can be used only once. Attach one end of the halfshaft to the wheel hub/knuckle assembly and turn the hub nut by hand until it's tight. Examine the slinger for any handling signs of damage and straighten it as needed so that it doesn't touch the axle seal. Install the halfshaft almost straight to not damage the seal. Put Mopar Gear and Axle Lubricant (75W-140) on the halfshaft inner joint bearing journal and attach the halfshaft to the rear axle assembly using new circlips, letting go of the assembly so it does not scratch the axle seals and pull outward on the joint to verify it is properly in place. Move the rear axle assembly up into place, ensure the index signs on the propeller shaft are aligned and begin turning the bolt/nuts of the shaft coupler by hand. Screw the bolts where the rear axles attach to the crossmember and tighten them to 220 Nm (162 ft. lbs.). After that, install the front mount isolator and tighten its bolt or nut to 65 Nm (48 ft. lbs.), too. Make certain the halfshaft inner joints are properly attached to the axle assembly, then get rid of the transmission jack and the under-hoist screw-style jack stands. Turn the propeller shaft coupler-to-axle flange bolt/nuts to 58 Nm (43 ft. lbs.). With a 14mm hex, replace the plug for the rear axle fill, fill the axle with 75W-140 Synthetic Gear and Axle Lubricant up to 1.2L (1.3 qts) and secure and torque the cap back on to 50 Nm (37 ft. lbs.). Add the exhaust system, drop the entire car, use a torque wrench to tighten the halfshaft hub nut to 157 ft. lbs. and place the wheel center cap. After finishing your installation, tighten all the wheel/tire lug nuts to 150 Nm (110 ft. lbs.), then lower the car down.

How to Remove and Replace an Axle Shaft on Dodge Ram 1500?

Begin by installing a new front pinion bearing cup and a new rear pinion bearing cup, both using Installer 8960, Handle C-4171 and Installer 8959. Then, slide the pinion depth shim onto the pinion gear shaft and immediately attach the rear pinion bearing to the pinion with the press and an Installer MD-998805. Put a new collapsible spacer on the pinion gear and apply oil to the pinion and the bearings. Put the pinion into the housing, making sure the front pinion bearing is on the shaft and use Installer 8981 to pull the shaft into the front bearing. Use Installer 8896 and Handle C-4171 to put in a new pinion seal, then apply a little teflon sealant on the pinion flange splines. Press the pinion and gently strike the flange on until you see a few threads, then set the washer for the pinion flange and tighten the pinion nut. Clamp the flange with Flange Wrench 8979 and turn the pinion nut tight until the pinion end play is removed. Rotoate the pinion numerous times to position the bearings, measure the Pinion Torque To Rotate with a torque wrench and tighten the pinion nut by approximately 6.8 Nm at each step until the desired torque is reached for new bearings (1.7 - 2.8 Nm) or original bearings (1.1 - 2.2 Nm). With the pinion torque working properly, place the ring gear onto the differential case and install two new bolts in the ring gear. After that, insert the remaining bolts and alternate in tightening them to 237 Nm. Should the exciter ring be absent, install the differential assembly on differential Plug 8888 and hit the exciter ring on the case with a hammer and brass punch to secure it, not damaging the teeth. Set the differential inside the housing, inspect the ring gear to confirm backlash and gear pattern, measure the Total Torque to Rotate with an inch pound torque wrench using a target of 3.4 to 5.6 Nm for brand-new bearings or 2.8 to 5.1 Nm for old bearings. Should the TTTR exceed the goal, gently run one serpentine belt loose to see if you get to the target. Secure all your bearings in place, verify that the reference marks on the propeller shaft are aligned and then add the differential cover with its gasket and secure the bolts to 40 Nm. When the differential is full, tighten the fill plug to 32 Nm.

With a 14mm hex, replace the plug for the rear axle fill, fill the axle with 75W-140 Synthetic Gear and Axle Lubricant up to 1.2L (1.3 qts) and secure and torque the cap back on to 50 Nm (37 ft. lbs.). Add the exhaust system, drop the entire car, use a torque wrench to tighten the halfshaft hub nut to 157 ft. lbs. and place the wheel center cap. After finishing your installation, tighten all the wheel/tire lug nuts to 150 Nm (110 ft. lbs.), then lower the car down.

Q: How to Remove and Replace an Axle Shaft on Dodge Ram 1500?
A:
Begin by installing a new front pinion bearing cup and a new rear pinion bearing cup, both using Installer 8960, Handle C-4171 and Installer 8959. Then, slide the pinion depth shim onto the pinion gear shaft and immediately attach the rear pinion bearing to the pinion with the press and an Installer MD-998805. Put a new collapsible spacer on the pinion gear and apply oil to the pinion and the bearings. Put the pinion into the housing, making sure the front pinion bearing is on the shaft and use Installer 8981 to pull the shaft into the front bearing. Use Installer 8896 and Handle C-4171 to put in a new pinion seal, then apply a little teflon sealant on the pinion flange splines. Press the pinion and gently strike the flange on until you see a few threads, then set the washer for the pinion flange and tighten the pinion nut. Clamp the flange with Flange Wrench 8979 and turn the pinion nut tight until the pinion end play is removed. Rotoate the pinion numerous times to position the bearings, measure the Pinion Torque To Rotate with a torque wrench and tighten the pinion nut by approximately 6.8 Nm at each step until the desired torque is reached for new bearings (1.7 - 2.8 Nm) or original bearings (1.1 - 2.2 Nm). With the pinion torque working properly, place the ring gear onto the differential case and install two new bolts in the ring gear. After that, insert the remaining bolts and alternate in tightening them to 237 Nm. Should the exciter ring be absent, install the differential assembly on differential Plug 8888 and hit the exciter ring on the case with a hammer and brass punch to secure it, not damaging the teeth. Set the differential inside the housing, inspect the ring gear to confirm backlash and gear pattern, measure the Total Torque to Rotate with an inch pound torque wrench using a target of 3.4 to 5.6 Nm for brand-new bearings or 2.8 to 5.1 Nm for old bearings. Should the TTTR exceed the goal, gently run one serpentine belt loose to see if you get to the target. Secure all your bearings in place, verify that the reference marks on the propeller shaft are aligned and then add the differential cover with its gasket and secure the bolts to 40 Nm. When the differential is full, tighten the fill plug to 32 Nm.
