M809 Axle Shaft Repair

[airbornebandsman]

Good afternoon SSers. I am in the process of replacing parts on the passenger side front axle on my M813A1. While removing the axle shaft I managed to turn it and the large bearings came out. I have looked in the -20 and -34 but did not see anything pertaining to putting it back together. anybody have any pointers or know where in the TM I should have looked?

Thanks, Mik

You just move to the same sharp angle you had when they popped out and then pop them in again, then straighten out the assy to keep them captured.

I'm assuming you have the Bendix type CV-joint with the four large balls, which is the same as in the older M39 series trucks.
This is covered in the old TM-9-2320-211-35, on pages 283-285. (The images are extreme poor quality but the description is very detailed.)
