Operation
The planetary axles permit the hypoid gearing of the
carrier and the axle shafts to carry only a nominal
torsional load. At the same time, they provide the
highest practical numerical gear reduction at the
wheels.
• The hypoid pinion and differential assembly of the
first reduction supports the roller bearings.
• A hardened precision spacer between the inner and
outer pinion bearings adjusts and maintains the
pinion bearing preload.
• The positioning of the threaded adjusting rings in
the carrier leg and cap bores adjusts and maintains
the differential tapered bearing preload.
• The teeth of the floating sun gear mesh with the
teeth of the planetary spur gears.
• The planetary gears rotate on planetary shafts that
are mounted on a spider. The planetary gear teeth

in turn mesh with the teeth of the floating ring
gear.
• The hypoid gear set in the carrier transmits power
to the axle shafts and the sun gear of the final
reduction, through the revolving planetary gears,
and into the planetary spider.
• The planetary wheel ends on both the H8.00-
12.00XM (H170-280HD) and H10.00-12.00XM-
12EC (H360HD-EC) are serviced almost identi-
cally for cam or wet disc brakes.

Corrosion Prevention
Cleaning
CLEAN GROUND OR POLISHED PARTS
WARNING
To prevent serious eye injury, always wear safe
eye protection when performing vehicle main-
tenance or service.
WARNING
Solvent cleaners are flammable and poi-
sonous and can cause burns. Examples of
solvent cleaners are carbon tetrachloride,
emulsion-type cleaners, and petroleum-based
cleaners. To avoid serious personal injury
when using solvent cleaners, carefully follow
the manufacturer’s product instructions and
these procedures.
• Wear safe eye protection.
• Wear clothing that protects your skin.
• Work in a well-ventilated area.
• Do not use gasoline or solvents that contain
gasoline. Gasoline can explode.
• Use hot solution tanks or alkaline solutions
correctly. Follow the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions carefully.
CAUTION
• Use only solvent cleaners to clean ground
or polished metal parts. Hot solution tanks
or water and alkaline solutions will damage
these parts. Isopropyl alcohol, kerosene, or
diesel fuel can be used for this purpose.
• If required, use a sharp knife to remove gas-
ket material from parts. Be careful not to
damage the ground or polished surfaces.
1. Use a cleaning solvent, kerosene, or diesel fuel
to clean ground or polished parts or surfaces.
NEVER USE GASOLINE.
Corrosion Prevention
NOTE: Parts must be clean and dry before lubricating
them.
1. If assembling the parts immediately after clean-
ing them, lubricate the clean, dry parts with
grease to prevent corrosion.
10
1400 SRM 944
2. Remove gasket material from parts. Take care
not to damage ground surfaces with grease to
prevent corrosion.
3. DO NOT clean ground or polished parts in a hot
solution tank, water, steam, or alkaline solution.
CLEAN PARTS WITH ROUGH FINISH
1. Use a cleaning solvent or a hot solution tank with
a weak alkaline solution to clean parts with a
rough finish.
2. Leave parts in the hot solution tank until they
are completely cleaned and heated. When the
parts are clean, remove them from the tank.
3. Wash the parts with water until you completely
remove the alkaline solution.
CLEAN AXLE ASSEMBLIES
NOTE: A complete axle assembly can be steam
cleaned on the outside to remove dirt.
NOTE: Before the axle is steam cleaned, close or put
a cover over all the openings in the axle assembly.
Examples of openings are the breathers or vents in
air chambers.
DRYING CLEANED PARTS
CAUTION
Dry bearings with clean paper or rags. Do not
use compressed air, which can cause abrasive
particles to contaminate the bearings. Damage
to components and reduced lining life can re-
sult.
Immediately after cleaning, use clean paper, rags, or
compressed air to dry parts.
2. If storing the parts after cleaning them, apply
a corrosion-preventive material to all machined
surfaces. Store the parts in a special paper or
other material that prevents corrosion.

BEVEL PINION AND RING GEAR SETS
CAUTION
The bevel drive pinions and ring gears are ma-
chined in matched sets. When a drive pinion
or ring gear of a bevel set needs to be replaced,
both drive gear and pinion must be replaced at
the same time. A higher stress on the original
parts and early failure of the entire assembly
will result if a new part is used in combination
with parts that are older or worn.
