Summary
This guideline provides the procedures that are necessary to determine the reusability for front spindles / front
axles on Off-Highway Trucks.
This guideline contains the latest standards of engineering, which will help minimize owning and operating
costs. A part can be expected to reach the next Planned Component Repair if the part meets the specifications
in this guideline and if the part is used in the same application. Use this guideline in order to determine
whether a part should be reused. Do not install a part that is not reusable. During reconditioning, correct any
condition that might have caused the original failure.
NOTICE
Do not use a number metal stamp set to mark parts. The impact from
striking the stamp will cause an abnormal stress riser. The added stress
riser may cause premature part failure.
The procedure for marking includes a code that will identify the number of rebuilds and the number of hours
on each rebuild.

Illustration 3 g03683915
Illustration 3 shows code (1-15). The first number (1) indicates that the component had been rebuilt once. The second number (15)
indicates that there were 15,000 hours on the component at the time of rebuild.
Illustration 4 g03683920
Illustration 4 shows code (1-12) and code (2-10). Code (2-10) represents the information from the second rebuild. The first
number (2) indicates that the component had been rebuilt twice. The second number (10) indicates that there were 10,000 hours on
the component at the time of rebuild.
This coding can be used by all dealers and will help with identification at time of rebuild. Identification can
be especially helpful if units that have been rebuilt are sold into different territories. As new overhauls are
completed, the previous markings should be left on the part. To obtain the total amount of hours for the gear
in Illustration 4 you must add first and second rebuild hours. In this example the gear has a total of 22,000
hours.

• Before you inspect the spindles / front axles, clean thoroughly to ensure that all components are free
from rust, oil, burrs, and debris prior to inspection. A surface irregularity can hide the indication of an
unacceptable defect.
• Use a proper lifting device to provide safety to the operator. Also, use a proper lifting device to prevent
damage to the part when you lift the part.
• Put hydraulic oil on all machined surfaces to prevent rust or corrosion if inspection is not done
immediately after cleaning. Carefully store the parts in a clean container.

• Inspect all flange mating surfaces and ensure that flange mating surfaces are true and free from raised
material resulting from rust, nicks, and dents.
General Guidelines
Inspect the spindle / front axle before the salvage procedure. The spindle / front axle should be inspected
immediately after disassembly and cleaning. To prevent a failure, inspect each of the following critical areas
of a spindle / front axle.
• Entire Spindle / Front Axle - Inspect the spindle / front axle for cracks. Use either a magnetic particle
or a liquid dye penetrant in the inspection process. An internal crack that is not detected or fully
removed before salvage can lead to failure.
• Splines - A cracked spline must not be salvaged. A spline that does not meet the dimensional
requirement cannot be salvaged. Because splines transfer high loads, thoroughly inspect each spline for
cracks. Measure the average dimension over pins in order to determine wear.
• Bearing Journals - Measure the surface hardness and the outside diameter for each journal. Bearing
journals may be salvaged by using Arc Spray or by using High Velocity Oxygen Fuel (HVOF).
• Mounting Flange Bolt Holes - These bolt holes may experience damage if bolts are loose during
operation. Inspect each bolt hole for deformation. You may salvage a deformed bolt hole by welding
the bore and machining the bore.
Always use proper lifting devices for the safety of the operator. Prevent damage to machined surfaces by
using the correct lifting equipment.
Visual Inspection
A wheel bearing journal can be visually inspected with the unaided eye. During an inspection, the best results
can be achieved with the use of a magnifying glass and a strong light source. Sunlight is the best light source.
If difficult to distinguish small scratches from cracks, use either a liquid dye penetrant or a magnetic particle
inspection.
Normal Wear
The following photos show both inner wheel bearing journal and outer wheel bearing journal. However, the
criteria for reusing either wheel bearing journal is identical.

Crack detection methods commonly used are liquid penetrant, dry magnetic particle, wet magnetic particle,
and ultrasonic testing. There may be more than one acceptable crack detection method for the inspection of a
given part, although the liquid penetrant is the most versatile. Select the method that best fits your shop's
operation. Sometimes, characteristics of a particular part may prevent the use of certain inspection systems.
For example, a liquid penetrant system cannot be used to inspect for subsurface cracks in a steel part. Use
Table 9 to determine the best system for the type of structure being inspected. The wet magnetic particle
inspection method is best used when inspecting smooth machined components such as shafts, gear teeth, and
splines. If the wet magnetic particle inspection method is not available, it can be substituted with the liquid
penetrant examination method.

• Penetrating Oil: This solution is highly visible, and will seep into openings at the surface of a part with
capillary action.
• Developer: This provides a blotting action, bringing the penetrant out of the discontinuities and
providing a contrasting background to increase the visibility of the penetrant indications.
• Wire Brush
• Cloth
Procedure
Illustration 24 g03509082
1. Preclean inspection area. Spray on cleaner to loosen any scale, dirt, or any oil. Wipe the area to inspect
with a solvent dampened cloth to remove remaining dirt and allow the area to dry. If there is visible
crack remove paint using paint remover or wire brush.

2. Apply penetrant by spraying to the entire area to be examined. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for penetrant to
soak. After the penetrant has been allowed to soak, remove the excess penetrant with clean, dry wipe.
Illustration 26 g03510141
3. The last traces of penetrant should be removed with the cleaner solvent dampened cloth or wipe. Allow
the area to dry thoroughly.
Illustration 27 g03510160
4. Before using Developer make sure that it is mixed thoroughly by shaking can. Holding can
approximately 8-12 inches away from part, apply an even, thin layer of developer over the area being
inspected. A few thin layers are a better application method than one thick layer.

Splines
Perform a complete inspection of the spline before you proceed with the repair procedure. During an
inspection, the best results can be achieved with the use of a magnifying glass and a strong light source.
Sunlight is the best light source. If it is difficult to distinguish small scratches from cracks, use either a liquid
dye penetrant or a magnetic particle inspection.
Inspect every spline on each spindle / front axle. If a damaged spline is found, recheck the spline on mating
parts. Then, inspect the teeth that are 180° from the damaged splined tooth for possible bending fatigue.

When you inspect a spline, determine whether the damage will progress into a failure before the next
scheduled overhaul. Analyze the application and spline size for each truck when you make this determination.
• Misalignment can cause spline wear. Spline wear can lead to a fracture.
There is normally a small amount of relative motion between meshing spline teeth. Uneven contact patterns
on the spline teeth are the result of misalignment of one or both of the meshing splines. Splines that are
misaligned do not fully engage. This means that only a portion of each tooth is carrying the full load. If the
brake hub and the spindle / front axle are not aligned, the spline teeth will not mesh correctly. This situation
can place high contact pressures on a portion of the teeth. Misalignment can cause high contact pressure and
relative movement. Eventually, spline wear and fretting corrosion will appear as damage on the surface.
Misalignment can be identified by the uneven contact pattern on the spline teeth.
If any spline displays uneven contact patterns, be sure to check for misalignment and correct the cause of the
problem. The spline could be misaligned, if any of the following are worn or damaged.
Do not reuse a spline with damage from misalignment. Even if you correct the cause of misalignment, the
previous abnormal wear will not permit full tooth contact. Correct the cause of misalignment. Then install a
new spline.

Reusability of Splines
This section provides the procedures that are necessary for you to measure external splines. This section will
help you to calculate these measurements. These results can be used to determine reusability of external
splines.

• For the measurement of an external spline, take three measurements over pins. For each of the three
dimensions, measure the highest external point over two pins that are 180° opposite of each other.
• Average the three dimensions in order to produce the average dimension over pins.
Illustration 42 g03681027
For this procedure, the spline will require the use of a specific pin set. There are three pin sets for the
measurement of splines. Each pin set consists of six pins. Each pin is machined to a specific dimension. Care
must be taken in order to precisely machine these pins to the specification due to the close tolerances of the
splines.
Make the pins out of SAE1020 steel. Use the dimension for the pin diameter in Table 11 to precisely machine
each pin for the specific pin set. Magnetize each pin so that the pins will stay in place during the process of
measurement. You may also use a rubber band to secure the pins. Refer to Illustration 43.
To measure an external spline, calculate the average for the three measurements over pins. Use the following
procedure to determine the maximum allowable spline wear.
Use an outside micrometer to measure external splines. To obtain accurate results, you must have a thorough
working knowledge of the use of outside micrometers.
Pins must be 60° from other pins. Refer to Illustration 44 and Illustration 45.

Take three measurements (A), (B), and (C) over pins that are 180° across from each other. The outside micrometer must be

the average dimension over pins.
Illustration 46 g03681066
The measurement of an external spline is shown here. Pins are located at 60° intervals.
Verify that the spline is not out of round. This can be done by taking the maximum difference between the
high pin and the low pin. The next section provides examples for obtaining this measurement. This
measurement is a critical measurement which must be calculated in order to ensure that the spline can evenly
transfer a load.

Place pins at 60° intervals on the spline. The location of the pins at 60° intervals is critical to the formula.
These three locations will provide information about the wear of the part. Refer to Illustration 45.
The following steps show the calculations that are required to check the measurements for an external spline.
1. Take measurements at location (A), location (B), and location (C). The measurements in the following
list are provided as an example.
2. Once measurements (A), (B), and (C) are obtained, add the measurements together.
3. Divide this sum by 3 in order to obtain the average. The result is 416.500 mm (16.3976 inch).
4. Because this average is greater than 416.035 mm (16.3793 inch) (the specification for the minimum
reuse dimension over pins), the spline wear is acceptable.
5. Calculate the difference between the high measurement 416.750 mm (16.4074 inch) and the low
measurement 416.250 mm (16.38776 inch).
The difference between the high dimension and the low dimension indicates whether the splines are out
of round. Never install a warped spline. A load cannot be distributed evenly on a spline that is out of
round. Teeth on a warped spline can crack due to excessive stress. The excessive stress is caused from
an uneven load distribution on the splines. The difference between the high measurement and the low
measurement will help to determine if the part can be used again.
The maximum dimension between the high dimension and the low dimension is 0.416 mm (0.0164
inch). Refer to Table 11 for this dimension. Because the actual difference 0.500 mm (0.0197 inch) is
greater than the allowable maximum, This spline is elliptical. DO NOT USE AGAIN
If the spline does not meet both specifications, do not reuse the spindle / front axle. An external spline
must pass both of the following tests in order to be used again.
• Maximum difference between the high dimension and the low dimension

• Do not grind on Machine Faces (K2) and (K3). If cracks are present in these areas a DSN must be
submitted for Engineering Feedback.
Note: Before grinding on the Keyway determine if previous grinding has been performed. If grinding has
been performed proceed with the welding process. Refer to Section ""Weld Procedure for Zone K" ".

Grind cracks at the corners (K4) and (K5) to a depth of (L) 5.0 mm (0.197 inch) maximum. If cracks still
appear, proceed with the welding process. Refer to Section ""Weld Procedure for Zone K" ".
If cracks are still present after initial grinding to a depth of 5.0 mm (0.197 inch) grind an additional 5 mm
(0.197 inch) without affecting the slot width.
The following conditions must be met to continue with the weld procedure. Use the Magnetic Particle
Inspection procedure to verify the cracks.
1. Maximum length of the crack must be less than 108.0 mm (4.251 inch).
2. The depth of the crack must be less than (M) 10.0 mm (0.394 inch) total depth.
If the crack is still present beyond 10.0 mm (0.394 inch) or 108.0 mm (4.251 inch) in length the spindle /
front axle cannot be used again. Refer to Illustration 70 to determine crack depth and crack length.

Weld Parameters
Use the direct current electrode positive polarity (DC reverse polarity) setting and remove the slag after every
pass. The weld width must not exceed two times the electrode diameter.
The FCAW process will be used with the E90T-1 D-3 (ANSI/AWS A5.29) welding electrode such as the
ESAB Dual Shield 150. The weld deposited by these electrodes must have the following mechanical
properties listed in Table 12.
Table 12
Tensile Strength 620 MPa (90 KSI)
Yield Strength 540 MPa (78 KSI)
Elongation 17%
Impact Toughness 20 FT LBF @-20F (27J @- 30C)
• Welding parameters will vary due to weld position and operator preference but may not vary more than
10%.

Note: Use welding grade 100% Carbon-Dioxide Shielding Gas. 45-55 cfh flow rate. 20-25 mm ID gas
nozzle.
• Weld the area to be repaired using a pass width of no greater than 8.0 mm (0.315 inch).
• The final weld pass must be no greater than 3.0 mm (0.118 inch) above any finished surface. Refer to
Illustration 71.
