What is the usual reason for axle shaft removal on this type of axle on Oldsmobile Cutlass?

The usual reason for axleshaft removal on this type of axle is that the shaft end play has become excessive. To check this, remove the road wheel and brake drum and attach a dial gauge with its stylus against the axleshaft end flange. If the shaft is then moved in and out by hand, the end play should not exceed 0.022 inch. If the end play is excessive, carry out the following operations as the shaft bearing is probably worn. Unscrew and remove the bolts which attach the axleshaft retainer plate to the brake backing plate. Attach a slide hammer to the road wheel mounting studs and withdraw the axleshaft. Do not attempt to pull the axleshaft by hand from the housing as you will only succeed in pulling the vehicle off the support stands. As the axleshaft is removed, it is possible that the bearing will become separated into three parts. This does not indicate that the bearing is unserviceable. If this happens, remove the two sections left behind from the axle tube. With the axleshaft removed, hold it in the jaws of a vise so that the bearing retainer ring rests on the edges of the jaws. Using a hammer and a sharp chisel, nick the retainer in two places. This will have the effect of spreading the retainer so that it will slide off the shaft. Do not damage the shaft in the process and never attempt to cut the retainer away with a torch as the temper of the shaft will be ruined. Using a suitable press or extractor, withdraw the bearing from the axleshaft. Remove and discard the oil seal. When installing the new bearing, make sure that the retainer plate and the seal are installed to the shaft first. Press on the bearing and the retaining ring tight up against it. Before installing the axleshaft assembly, smear wheel bearing grease onto the bearing end and to the bearing recess in the axlehousing tube. Apply rear axle oil to the axleshaft splines. Hold the axleshaft horizontal and insert it into the axle housing. Feel when the shaft splines have picked up those in the differential side gears and then push the shaft fully into position, using a soft faced hammer on the end flange as necessary. Bolt the retainer plate to the brake backplate, install the brake drum and wheel, and lower the vehicle to the ground.

Oldsmobile Axle Shaft translates the raw torque to the wheels maintaining a steady motion and sharp traction. Oldsmobile began with a bang in 1897 with the daring Curved Dash, led the moving assembly line and continued the pace with breakthroughs such as the 1940 Hydra-Matic that relieved the driver of clutching. Over the decades the company pursued smoother rides, quieter cabins, dependable powerplants, targeting ordinary drivers, and it could hardly halt its efforts to find out what comfortable travel was all about. Oldsmobile gained access to broader assets through its merger with General Motors, but retained its image as a manufacturer of reliable machines which could be trusted by everyday families as commuters, vacationers, and during that thousand small journeys of everyday life. The belief increased since customers observed that the cars could shrug potholes, could start in the winter, and could cover a lot of miles in years without drama. During an Oldsmobile rear drive car start, the Axle Shaft has to perform the duties of loading weight, transmitting the torque of the differential and yet allowing the individual wheels to rotate at their own speed to ensure that cornering is smooth and the grip high. An Axle Shaft that is worn rubs, pours lubricant, shakes through the cabin and even greases rear brakes, converting a car that is peacefully cruising to a rattling nightmare. Change the Axle Shaft with a new one and the car starts riding straight and the torque moves smoothly, the wheels are straight, and the car takes a straight course.

Oldsmobile Axle Shaft Parts and Q&A

Axle Assembly, Front Passenger Side

Q: What is the usual reason for axle shaft removal on this type of axle on Oldsmobile Cutlass?
A:
The usual reason for axleshaft removal on this type of axle is that the shaft end play has become excessive. To check this, remove the road wheel and brake drum and attach a dial gauge with its stylus against the axleshaft end flange. If the shaft is then moved in and out by hand, the end play should not exceed 0.022 inch. If the end play is excessive, carry out the following operations as the shaft bearing is probably worn. Unscrew and remove the bolts which attach the axleshaft retainer plate to the brake backing plate. Attach a slide hammer to the road wheel mounting studs and withdraw the axleshaft. Do not attempt to pull the axleshaft by hand from the housing as you will only succeed in pulling the vehicle off the support stands. As the axleshaft is removed, it is possible that the bearing will become separated into three parts. This does not indicate that the bearing is unserviceable. If this happens, remove the two sections left behind from the axle tube. With the axleshaft removed, hold it in the jaws of a vise so that the bearing retainer ring rests on the edges of the jaws. Using a hammer and a sharp chisel, nick the retainer in two places. This will have the effect of spreading the retainer so that it will slide off the shaft. Do not damage the shaft in the process and never attempt to cut the retainer away with a torch as the temper of the shaft will be ruined. Using a suitable press or extractor, withdraw the bearing from the axleshaft. Remove and discard the oil seal. When installing the new bearing, make sure that the retainer plate and the seal are installed to the shaft first. Press on the bearing and the retaining ring tight up against it. Before installing the axleshaft assembly, smear wheel bearing grease onto the bearing end and to the bearing recess in the axlehousing tube. Apply rear axle oil to the axleshaft splines. Hold the axleshaft horizontal and insert it into the axle housing. Feel when the shaft splines have picked up those in the differential side gears and then push the shaft fully into position, using a soft faced hammer on the end flange as necessary. Bolt the retainer plate to the brake backplate, install the brake drum and wheel, and lower the vehicle to the ground.
