Checking the technical condition of the semi-axes

Check the technical condition of the parts included in the kit and make sure that:

• the ball bearing is not worn or damaged; if the axial clearance exceeds 0.7 mm, replace the bearing;
• locking ring and bearing have not received displacement relative to the original fit; if the inner ring of the bearing rotates relative to the seat belt of the axle shaft, replace the locking ring;
• bearing mounting plate and oil deflector are not damaged;
• the axle shaft is not deformed and the seating surfaces are not damaged; the runout of the axle shaft, measured in the centers, on the neck under the stuffing box should not exceed 0.08 mm. Before installing in the centers, carefully clean the centering holes on the axle shaft from dirt and rust.

If wear or damage is found on the parts installed on the axle shaft, replace them with new ones in compliance with the rules below and using special tools. Eliminate slight bending of the axle shaft by editing. After straightening the rod, the runout of the end of the flange, measured in the centers, should not exceed 0.05 mm. If the runout of the end is more than the specified, but not more than 0.08 mm, then it is allowed to turn it to eliminate the end runout. Reducing the thickness of the flange due to its groove is allowed no more than 0.2 mm.
