This being a TO-20 with Sure Seals...
"But if the axle can work back and forth because of excessive clearance it can work the collar off."
To lazy to pull the book back out.
Please explain to me how that would work.
The retainer collar is heated up and slides into place down the length of the axle shaft.
It shrinks into place and is retained by an interferance fit.
Now the entire axle shaft is a "floating style" axle meaning it has no retainer clips inside the differential to hold the axles in place.
So, what holds the bearings in place?
the axle shaft retainer?
Feel free to consult your I&T shop service manual.
Figure F43
Part 24 is effected by part "A". How does part "A" effect part 21?
Part "A" will have an effect on 25 and 18 contact area when not running Sure Seals.
The installation of Sure Seals negates the fitting problem of 25 and 18.
Also note worthy are the long splines on the end of 18.
