This document provides instructions for removing the drive axle, differential, and wet disc brake from Hyster lift trucks. It involves raising the truck, removing the wheels and mast assembly, draining fluids from the drive axle, disconnecting hoses and cables, and removing mounting hardware and shafts. Detailed steps are provided to disassemble the reduction gear assembly, including removing pins, gears, bearings, and other components. Safety warnings are given to prevent injury or equipment damage when putting the truck on blocks and removing air from tires.

Drive Axle Removal
WARNING
When putting the lift truck on blocks, make
sure the surface is solid, even, and level. Any
blocks used to support the lift truck must be
solid, one-piece units.
1. Put blocks on each side (front and back) of the
steering tires to prevent movement of the lift
truck.
2. Raise the lift truck and put blocks under the
frame so that the drive wheels do not touch the
floor. Put blocks under the counterweight for
stability.
3. Remove the mast assembly as described in the
section Mast Repairs, 2, 3, and 4-Stage Masts
4000 SRM 1148.
WARNING
On lift trucks with pneumatic tires, completely
remove air from tires before removing them
from lift truck. Air pressure in tires can cause
tire and rim parts to explode, which can cause
serious injury or death. Never loosen nuts that
hold together inner and outer wheel halves
when there is air pressure in tire.
4. Remove the wheels.
5. Remove the oil fill/level plugs on both sides of the
drive axle. See Figure 2.
6. Remove the oil drain plug (LH) from the drive
axle to drain the oil from the left-hand side of the
drive axle into a suitable container. See Figure 2.
7. Remove the oil drain plug (RH and center sec-
tion) to drain the oil from the right-hand side
and center section of the drive axle into a suit-
able container. See Figure 2.
8. Remove the brake discs oil drain plug from the
drive axle to drain the brake oil into a suitable
container. See Figure 2.

axle. See Figure 3.
12. Disconnect the brake return hose from the drive
axle. See Figure 3.
13. Disconnect the cooling return hose from the man-
ifold on top of the drive axle. See Figure 3.
14. Place blocks under the axle assembly and con-
nect slings and lifting device.
15. Place blocks under the transmission to support
the transmission while removing the drive axle.
16. Remove the capscrews retaining the drive shaft
and remove the drive shaft.
17. Remove the transmission isolator mounting bolt
located on top of the assembly. See Figure 4.
