(TITLE: PERFORM REAR WHEEL DRIVE
DIFFERENTIAL UNIT SERVICE)
INTRODUCTION:
Rear wheel axle systems
Differential unit
The differential is a device that splits the engine torque two ways, allowing each
output to spin at a different speed
The differential is found on all modern cars and trucks, and also in many all-wheel-
drive (full-time four-wheel-drive) vehicles.
These all-wheel-drive vehicles need a differential between each set of drive wheels,
and they need one between the front and the back wheels as well, because the front
wheels travel a different distance through a turn than the rear wheels.
TOOL & EQUIPMENTS:
Ball-pen hammer
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
1. Understand the safety procedures specified by the lecturer.
2. Always aware, any machine or tool used in the practical task.
3. Do yours tasks in an organized manner as this can minimize the risk of accident
occur.
4. Read and follow the experimental method and check with the lecturer if any problem
occur.
PROCEDURE:
2. Open 4 nuts behind the brake plate which connected to the axle.
3. Knock the screw using hammer to pull the shaft out from the axle.
4. Pull the shaft out from the axle slowly without taking off the braking parts.
5. Check the shaft and look if there is any gears are broke.
6. And then check inside the gears inside differential unit to make sure either it is in a
good conditions or not.
7. If there no any problem or broke gears,put the shaft inside the axle back.
