5. Apply a 0.0625" (16 mm) bead of gasket material to
the axle housing flange. Align the brake backplate and
brake assembly with axle housing flange and push the
axle shaft assembly all the way into the axle housing. Be
careful not to damage the oil seal and bearing (Fig. 16).
NOTE: Liquid Gasket Kit (Toro P/N 92-8775) includes
Loctiter Ultra Gray, gasket eliminator, and instructions.
6. Use medium strength Loctite thread locker and
install new bearing retaining bolts, washers, and nuts.
Start the nuts onto the bolts by hand. Tighten the nuts
in an alternating pattern so the bearing is drawn into the
axle housing evenly (Fig. 17). Tighten the nuts to 16 to
20 ft-lbs. (22 to 27 Nm).
IMPORTANT: Hold the socket head screws with a
hex wrench to prevent the screw head from damag-
ing the axle tube.
