GENUINE SPICER SER VICE PARTS
Should an axle assembly require replacement component
parts, it is recommended that Spicer Heavy Axle Service
Parts be used. Spicer Heavy Axle Service Parts are
manufactured under the same rigid specification as are
original equipment axle components. This assures the
customer who uses genuine Spicer service parts, maximum reliability for a Spicer Heavy Axle assembly. They
may be obtained through your vehicle manufacturer.
The use of non-original Spicer service parts may cause
premature component failure and may void the warranty.
The items included in this book are currently being
offered as service parts at the time of printing. The part
numbers and illustrations are provided specifically for
reference purposes only. Therefore, Spicer reserves the
right to update this manual without notice or liability.
i
All axle assemblies are identified with two tags. One located
on the differential carrier, and the other located on the right
hand side of the axle housing. Two types of tags may be found
on the axle, an aluminum tag that is riveted on the assembly or
a coated mylar tag.

AXLE LUBRICANT RECOMMENDA TIONS
To ensure proper lubrication and operating temperature,
correct lubricants and lubricant levels must be obtained.
RECOMMENDED LUBRICANTS
Mineral or Synthetic based hypoid gear lubricants that meet
or exceed military specification MIL-L-2105D, and API service
classification GL-5, are the minimum requirements for use in
Spicer medium and heavy duty drive axles.
The table below indicates which SAE viscosities are recommended for various temperature ranges the vehicle will
encounter.
SUBMERSION OR DEEP WATER FORDING
In the event the axle assembly should become
submerged in water, particularly if over the vent or breather, it
is recommended that the lubricant be drained and all parts be
inspected for water damage and/or contamination. Reassemble the carrier to the housing and refill with specifed gear
lubricant.
AFTER OVERHAUL OR CHANGE INTERVALS
Fill the axle assembly to the bottom of housing fill hole as
shown in the illustration below. It is recommended that
following an overhaul, each side of the axle be jacked up
seperately to approximately six inches and held into position
for one minute. This procedure will allow adequate lubricant
to flow into the wheel ends and help eliminate the possibility
of premature damage to wheel bearings and seals. Lower the
vehicle to the floor and allow ten minutes for lube to return to
normal level. Check and refill assembly to bottom of fill hole to
replace the lubricant that was directed into the wheel ends.
Ambient Air Temperature
SERVICE
Recommended lubricant change intervals are dependent on
the application and operating environment. The following
chart should be used to establish proper change intervals.

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
READ THIS SECTION BEFORE STARTING
GENERAL AXLE DESCRIPTION
IMPORTANT
ANY SERVICE PROCEDURES
This manual covers maintenance and rebuild procedures for the
Spicer J340-S, J380-S, J400-S, W440-S and W460-S rear
drive tandem axle assemblies.
Accordingly, anyone who uses a service procedure or tool
different than shown must insure that their safety, and the
vehicle's safety, will not be jeopardized by the service method
selected.
The Spicer heavy duty single reduction rear drive axle is a full
floating axle assembly, with a hypoid gear carrier assembly,
END YOKES AND FLANGES
using a High Strength Low Alloy (HSLA) steel axle housing.
The hypoid pinion is straddle mounted with two tapered roller
bearings behind the pinion teeth for thrust and radial loads. A
pilot bearing is located on the nose of the pinion for radial
load. The differential itself uses four precision forged pinion
mate gears, a forged cross, and precision forged side gears.
bearing bores or misalign yoke lugs and result in early failures
of journal needle bearings or other driveline components.
Serious damage can also be done internally to the ring and
pinion set or pinion bearings by hammering on external parts.
End yokes or companion flanges should be removed or
installed using the recommended methods outlined in this
manual.
Safety glasses should be worn
at all times when assembling or
disassembling axles.
CLEANLINESS
Axle components should be steam cleaned prior to removal
from the vehicle. Dirt is abrasive and will cause premature wear
of otherwise serviceable parts. Service personnel should use a
wash tank for thorough cleaning of parts just prior to assembly.
CAUTION: Hammering on end yokes can close in the
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Proper service and repair of vehicle components is important
to the safe and reliable operation of all motor vehicles. This
applies particularly to driving axles such as the ones described
in this manual. The procedures recommended and described
in this manual are tested, effective methods for performing
service operations. Follow each procedure closely, making use
of both the text and illustrations. Some of these service
procedures show the use of certain tools designed specifically
for the operation being performed. They are shown as a
preferred means of performing the operation. It is not practical
to anticipate and advise the service trade of all possible
alternative methods, and of all possible hazardous consequences that could occur.

CLEANING AND INSPECTION
CLEANING
1. Parts should be cleaned with emulsion cleaners or
petroleum base cleaning solvent.
NOTE: Alkaline type solutions may cause damage to machined
surfaces and should be avoided.
2. Make sure interior of axle housing is clean prior to
reassembly.
3. Clean all gasket surfaces of old material.
DRYING
Use soft, clean, lintless towels or rags to dry components
after cleaning. Bearings should
not
be dried by spinning
with compressed air. This can damage mating surfaces
due to the lack of lubrication.
After drying, parts should be coated with a light coat of
lubricant or rust inhibitor to prevent damage from
corrosion. If parts are to be stored for a prolonged
period, they should be wrapped in wax paper.
GEARS
Inspect gears for excessive wear or damage. Replace
gears that are pitted, scored, broken, or worn.
SHAFTS
INSPECTION
Prior to reassembly, inspect parts for signs of excessive
wear or damage. Replacement of these parts can prevent
premature failure and costly downtime.
BEARINGS
Bearing surfaces should be inspected for pitting,
excessive wear, or overheating.
Inspect shafts for nicks or scoring.
SPLINES
Inspect all splines for excessive wear, distortion from
twisting, and cracking.

12 . Measure torque to rotate with the torque wrench,
assemble pinion cage into the carrier housing and install
two mounting bolts to anchor the unit. Rotate pinion with
the torque wrench. See Figure 12. Torque measurement
will be taken during fourth revolution and must be
between 10-40 Lb-in (1.1-4.5 N-m) without pinion seal.
NOTE: When torque to rotate reading does not fall within
allowable limits, bearing preload can be increased by using a
thinner spacer or decreased by using a thicker spacer. A .001
in. (.025 mm) change in preload spacer thickness, changes
scale reading by approximately 10 lbs, .001 in. change in
preload spacer will change torque to rotate by approximately
30 Lb- in. This is only a guide, individual carriers may vary
slightly.

PINION POSITION
3. Remove any burrs and wipe clean differential bearing
bore I.D.'s. Turn micrometer 90º to step plate. Install
assembled pinion setting gauge into bearing bores of
carrier housing until fully seated. Adjust micrometer so it
Pinion position is based on the nominal mounting distance
measured from the centerline of the ring gear to the nose of
the pinion. This dimension is controlled by selectively
shimming between the pinion cage assembly and the carrier
housing. The nominal dimension is 3.976 in. (100.990 mm).
NOTE: Be sure mounting surfaces and shims are free of burrs
and dirt prior to assembly as they will affect pinion position.
1. To establish the correct nominal dimension by using a
pinion setting gauge, install pinion and cage assembly
into the carrier housing without shims. Tighten pinion
cage bolts to correct torque specifications. (See Torque
Specification Chart, Pgs. 33-34) Failure to tighten
properly may result in incorrect gear adjustment.
2. Attach the step plate clamp assembly to the carrier
mounting flange. Locate step plate clamp screw over
center of pinion. Install step plate under clamp screw and
tighten to hold step plate securely in position.
NOTE: Be sure lugs on bottom of step plate straddle the
bearing staking indentions on end of pinion, or false reading
may occur. Also, make sure differential side bearing bores
are clean and free of nicks.

is directly over end of step plate. Run the micrometer
thimble down to measure the distance between the center
of the ring gear and the step plate. Make a note of this
dimension. See Figure 13.
NOTE: Because the step plate must be taken into consideration, the thickness of the step plate (.400 in. (10.16 mm))
needs to be added to the measured value for the correct
micrometer distance.
4. On the machined end of each pinion either a plus (+),
minus (-), or a zero (0) will be etched. (See Gear Set
Identification, Pg. 2) This number represents the amount

subtracted from the nominal dimension for the best
running position for that particular gear set.
and nicks prior to assembly or leaks will occur and pinion
position can be affected.
7. Install pinion and pinion cage assembly into carrier.
EXAMPLE:
If pinion is etched +3, the required mounting distance is
more than nominal by .003 in. (.076 mm). This means
the pinion would require .003 in. (.076 mm) thicker shim
between pinion bearing cage assembly and carrier
housing that a pinion etched with "0". If the pinion is
marked -3, the shim required between pinion gearing
cage assembly and carrier housing would be .003 in
(.076 mm) thinner than if pinion was etched "0".
5. Pinion shims are available in the following thicknesses.

NOTE: Studs can be used to assist in alignment.
8. Tighten pinion cage to carrier bolts. (See Torque

9. An alternative to using the pinion setting gauges is to
follow the procedure described in the following section.
Pinion Position Complete
When a new gear set is being installed, use a micrometer to
measure the thickness of the old pinion position shims.
Measure each shim separately and add together to get the
total thickness of the original build-up.
Pinion Positon Shims
Pinion
6. Position shims on carrier housing so oil return holes
align properly. Use a minimum of three shims in a
pack. If the pack is made of different shim thicknesses, install the thinnest shims on both sides of the
pack for maximum sealing.
NOTE: Be sure mounting surfaces and shims are free of dirt
PINION SETTING
NOTE: If old shims are bent or mutilated they should be
replaced.
If a new gear set is being used, notice the (+), (–) or "0"
etching on both the old and the new pinions, and adjust the
thickness of the shims to compensate for the difference of
these two figures (as shown in table on next page).
For example, if the old pinion is etched +2, and the new pinion
is –2, subtract .004 in. from the thickness of the original shims
used to position the pinion.
If either or both the pinions are etched beyond the values on
20
Nominal Mounting Distance
Ring Gear
this chart, follow the same procedure to establish correct
pinion position.
For example if the old pinion is etched –12 and the new pinion
is etched +9, add .021 in. to the thickness of the original
shims.
After determining the new total build up of pinion position
shims, round the figure off to the nearest multiple of .005 inch.
Use the Pinion Setting Chart on the next page as a guideline to
set the pinion.

RING GEAR AND PINION TOOTH CONT ACT PA TTERN
The procedures to the right are to be used to establish proper
gear tooth pattern after assembly of the carrier is complete.
NOTE: If matched sets are being reused, measure and record
backlash before disassembly, and reassemble to the same
backlash. This will match ring and pinion gears to the established wear patterns. Hand rolled patterns will cover less area
than the gear pattern established by previous service.
Gleason cut gears and Oerlikon cut gears can be identified by
using the following chart.
Example: Gleason cut Wmodel, 584282C1.
J Model W Model
Gleason 047GX1XX XXXXXXC1
XXXXXXR1
Oerlikon ------ 057GX2XX
STEP 1. Paint 1/4 ring gear with marking compound on
both the drive and coast side.
STEP 2. Rotate ring gear at least one complete revolution in
both directions while load is being applied.

NOTE: Tooth contact pattern, on this axle model, can be moved only by adjusting backlash. The contact pattern can be moved in
the direction of heel-to-toe, and toe-to-heel; Depth of the pattern cannot be adjusted. If an acceptable tooth contact pattern
cannot be established within limits of backlash, contact Spicer Service at 1-800-666-8688.

INST ALLATION OF INTER-AXLE DIFFERNETIAL TO CARRIER
1. Thoroughly clean mating face of carrier and apply an 1/8
inch bead of Loctite #518 Gasket Eliminator. See Figure
21 for correct bead pattern.
2. Align inter-axle differential case with carrier housing and
insert bolts and torque to 160-180 Lb-Ft (217-244 N-m).
