IMPORTANT: All Power Wheel units and kits are shipped with a nameplate
that includes the Auburn Gear part number and order code as shown.
In addition to the nameplate, Power Wheel drives are stamped with an identification number which appears on the cover or hub flange as shown.
When ordering parts, the information included on the nameplate or the stamped identification number is necessary to accurately identify the drive
and obtain the correct replacement parts. Once this information has been obtained, contact Auburn Gear for the appropriate parts list.
STEP 1
Remove eight hex head bolts (21) from cover (20). Lift cover (20) from
assembly. Thrust washer (19) usually remains with cover (20).
STEP 2
Lift sun gear (18) from carrier assembly (17).
STEP 3
Remove carrier assembly (17).
STEP 4
One tab of lock washer (14) will be engaged in slot of bearing nut (15); bend
back to release. Remove the bearing nut (15), lock washer (14) and thrust
washer (13). N
: A special locknut wrench, 596Z, is required for the removal
OTE
of the bearing locknut. Contact Auburn Gear for procurement of wrench and
other service tools.
STEP 5
Bolt spindle drive tool, 598FF, to ring gear (16). Grade 8 bolts should be used.
Drive shaft (1) from hub flange (3), hub (9) and ring gear (16) by turning
STEP 1
Press new bearing cups (5 & 10) into each side of hub (9). It is
recommended that bearing cups (5 & 10) and cones (4 & 11) be
replaced in sets.
STEP 2
Assemble bearing cone (4) into cup (5) at seal end of hub (9) and
press a new seal (2) into hub flange (3).
STEP 3
Clean mating surfaces and apply a bead of silicone sealant to face of hub (9)
that mates with hub flange (3). See instructions on sealant package. Also,
apply a bead of silicone sealant to the ring gear (16) on the hub (9) mounting
side. Lay hub (9) onto ring gear (16).
STEP 4
Place bearing cone (4) into cup (5). Lubricate lips of oil seal (2) and lower
hub flange (3) onto hub. Place 6 washers (7) onto hub flange (3) and
install 6 cap screws (6). Torque each screw to 65-70 lb-ft (88-95 N-m).
Lower hub flange (3), hub (9), and ring gear (16) onto output shaft (1).
Keep hub flange (3) centered to prevent damage to oil seal (2).
STEP 5
Assemble bearing cone (11) over output shaft (1). Press bearing cone
(11) over output shaft bearing journal using press and cylindrical
bearing cone driver 598E. Press bearing cone (11) down until rollers
just touch cup (10). Take care to avoid pressing cone (11) too far.
N
: If a press is not available, place tool 598E over splined end of
OTE
output shaft (1) on the edge of bearing cone (11) and drive into place
with hammer or mallet. If this method is used, care must be taken to
avoid damage to bearing cone and spindle.

Example:
DISASSEMBLY OF POWER WHEEL
center bolt of spindle drive tool. Care should be taken to avoid damaging
splines and threads on shaft. NOTE: Bearing cone (11) has been designed
with a press fit with respect to shaft (1). Considerable force will be required to
remove cone from shaft.
STEP 6
Remove spindle drive tool from ring gear (16).
STEP 7
Remove the 6 socket head cap screws (6) and flat washers (7) from hub
flange (3), hub (9), and ring gear (16). Separate the hub flange (3) from the
hub (9). The bearing cones (4 & 11) should be removed at this point. If an
excluder seal (12) was in the drive, due to a shaft up application, this will also
be removed when bearing cone (11) is removed. Remove ring gear (16). It
may be necessary to strike ring gear (16) with a rubber mallet to loosen from
hub (9).
STEP 8
Remove the oil seal (2) from the hub flange (3). Inspect bearing cups (5
& 10) in hub (9) and remove only if replacement is required.
ASSEMBLY OF POWER WHEEL
STEP 6
Install thrust washer (13) and bearing nut (15). DO NOT install lock
washer (14) at this time.
STEP 7
Place spindle drive tool, 598FF, over shaft (1). Make sure center bolt of drive
tool is not touching shaft and is prevented from rotating by jam nuts provided
on tool.
STEP 8
Check initial rolling torque by installing a lb.-in. torque wrench (arm or
dial type) on center nut of spindle/shaft drive tool and turning hub
flange (3) slowly and steadily with the torque wrench. Note mean
torque. An initial bearing rolling torque of greater than 48 lb.-in. means
that the cone (11) was pressed on too tightly in step 4. In this case,
back off bearing cone (11) by pressing output shaft (1) out of cone (11)
until initial preload is relieved. See step 5 of disassembly procedure.
STEP 9
Torque bearing nut (15) with bearing nut wrench 596Z until a bearing
rolling torque of 38 - 46 lb.-in. is reached. This may require several
trials of pressing the cone (11) by torquing the nut (15) and then
checking the rolling torque. Rotate hub flange (3) by hand as nut is
being tightened in order to seat bearings. NOTE: Up to 250 lb.-ft. of
torque may have to be applied to bearing nut (15) in order to press
cone (11) into position.
STEP 10
Remove bearing nut (15) and install lock washer (14). Replace
bearing nut (15).
