Hello all, here is the run down for my M1009. For a while now I felt that my back brakes were not grabbing right. Now that I had some free time I pulled the drums and found the passenger side full of gear oil. So I know the outer seal is bad. Here are my questions.
The passenger axle has in and out play of about an 1/8". No up and down play just in and out of the tube play. The drivers side has no play. Any off the top of your head why?
Second, following manual TM 9-2320-289-34 to remove the axle, I removed the lock screw. Now the manual leads me to believe that the pinion shaft should just fall out. Well mine doesn't. I even turned the diff so I could see the other side of the pinion shaft and took a few whacks with a dowel and hammer. No luck. It does move in and out about a 64th of an inch but will not slide out. Am I missing something?
Last thing to add. For the most part the diff was full of gear oil. I don't see any metal flakes anywhere or any gear wear on the ring and pinion.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks?
