The tightening torques stated in this chapter deviate from the<br />
standard tightening torques given in the standard tightening<br />
torques overview.<br />
The threaded connections which are not stated here must,<br />
therefore, be tightened to the torque given in the standard<br />
tightening torques overview.<br />

Safety instructions<br />
1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS<br />
Place the vehicle in the unconditional<br />
kneeling position before raising the<br />
vehicle. This will deactivate the<br />
pneumatic suspension system.<br />
In order to prevent people from starting<br />
the engine when work is being carried out<br />
on the vehicle, always disconnect the<br />
battery’s earth connection. Place a sign<br />
that reads “DO NOT OPERATE” on the<br />
dashboard.<br />
2<br />
In order to prevent the DTCO-1381<br />
tachograph from saving an error code,<br />
the driver's card must be replaced by the<br />
workshop card before the battery clamp<br />
and the negative pole are disconnected.<br />
To prevent damage to electrical<br />
components, never disconnect the<br />
battery terminal clamps whilst the engine<br />
is running.<br />
Turn off the contact switch and the main<br />
switch before disconnecting the<br />
connection between the battery terminal<br />
and the negative pole.<br />
Wait at least 80 seconds after turning off<br />
the contact switch before disconnecting<br />
the connection between the battery<br />
terminal clamp and the negative pole. The<br />
AdBlue lines may become blocked if the<br />
connection is disconnected too quickly.<br />
The work described in this maintenance manual may only be<br />
carried out by trained and competent personnel.<br />
Always observe the locally applicable legal safety and environmental<br />
regulations.<br />
Comply with all the warnings and safety regulations given in<br />
this maintenance manual. Always read and observe the<br />
instructions and warnings given on labels and stickers fitted<br />
to the vehicle’s components. These stickers have been fitted<br />
for your health and safety. Do not ignore them!<br />
Wear clean, well-fitting clothing and, if necessary, apply protective<br />
cream to the body.<br />
Remain a safe distance from rotating and/or moving components.<br />
Avoid unnecessary contact with drained oil. Regular contact<br />
causes skin damage.<br />
Always use hoisting sheers when working under the vehicle.<br />

1. GENERAL INFORMATION<br />
1.1 DESCRIPTION<br />
Differential<br />
The differential’s gear wheels are hypoid gears.<br />
A single reduction is produced.<br />
The tooth flank play between the pinion and the crown gear<br />
is adjusted using shims.<br />
The top bearing’s pre-tension is adjusted with the aid of<br />
shims which are placed between the top bearing and the pinion.<br />
Wheel hub<br />
The wheel hub has two compact bearings. The compact<br />
bearings are sealed on both sides by oil seals.<br />
The retaining ring located between the wheel hubs has a lip<br />
on one side. This lip falls into the recess in the axle stub. This<br />
prevents the hub nut from coming loose in the event of a<br />
problem with the compact bearing. The hub nut must be<br />
locked by hand. The lock is achieved by hitting one of the<br />
retaining ring’s lips into the lock nut’s recess.<br />
The wheel hub's compact bearings are lubricated by grease.<br />
New grease must be added periodically.<br />
The correct wheel bearing play is achieved by fitting the hub<br />
nut in the correct way.<br />
The axle shaft and brake disc are attached to the wheel hub<br />
using bolts.<br />
The wheel speed sensor ring is integrated in the oil seal. The<br />
wheel speed sensor is fitted directly in the axle beam with the<br />
aid of a clamping bush.<br />

2.1 CHECKING THE REAR AXLE FOR LEAKS<br />
To prevent skin damage, avoid<br />
unnecessary contact with the oil. Note!<br />
There is a danger of being burnt by hot<br />
oil.<br />
Checking the rear axle for leaks<br />
1. Visually check the entire rear axle for leaks.<br />
2. If there is a leak, the leak must be repaired and the rear<br />
axle must be filled to the correct level (see<br />
4 - 4.1 Draining and filling the rear axle’s oil (4 -1)).<br />

2.2 CHECKING THE REAR AXLE OIL LEVEL<br />
Comment<br />
Do not check the oil level immediately after a journey. Allow<br />
the oil to settle and cool down for approximately half an hour.<br />
Always read the safety data sheet.<br />
To prevent skin damage, avoid unnecessary<br />
contact with the drained oil. Note! There is a<br />
danger of being burnt by hot oil.<br />
4<br />
Checking the rear axle oil level<br />
1. Place the vehicle on a flat, horizontal surface. Check<br />
whether the vehicle is level both longways and crossways.<br />
2. Remove the oil spill plug (A) (SW12).<br />
3. The oil level must reach the edge of the oil spill plug<br />
opening. If necessary, top up the oil to the required level<br />
via the hole in the oil spill plug (A). Always use the specified<br />
oil (see 0 - 3.1 ZF A-132 differential (3 -1)).<br />
4. After the inspection, refit the oil spill plug (A) with a new<br />
sealing ring. Tighten the oil spill plug to the specified<br />
torque (see 0 - 2.1.1 Rear axle tightening<br />
torques (2 -2)).<br />

2.3 INSPECTING GREASE-LUBRICATED<br />
WHEEL HUBS<br />
Inspecting grease-lubricated rear wheel hubs for leaks<br />
1. If serious traces of grease are observed on new or<br />
recently fitted wheel hubs, then this may indicate excessive<br />
use of assembly grease.<br />
2. If the wheel hubs were not recently fitted, serious traces<br />
of grease may indicate a leak from the oil seal (1) or the<br />
O-ring (2). Replace the oil seal/O-ring.<br />

2.4 CHECKING THE WHEEL SPEED<br />
SENSOR<br />
Checking the wheel speed sensor<br />
1. Connect the <strong>VDL</strong> <strong>Bus</strong> & <strong>Coach</strong> diagnosis equipment.<br />
2. Select the "Wheel speed sensor" function in the ABS/<br />
EBS application.<br />
3. Check the minimum (Vmin) and maximum (Vmax) peak<br />
voltage of all the wheel speed sensors at a speed of 5<br />
km/h. Compare the Vmin values with the values given in<br />
the technical information (see 0-1.General<br />
information (1 -1)).<br />
4. Check whether the Vmax/Vmin ratio exceeds the permissible<br />
ratio (see 0 - 1. General information (1 -1)).<br />
A visual inspection of the wheel speed<br />
sensor/sensor ring is only possible when<br />
the wheel hub has been removed.<br />
4<br />
5. If there are deviating measurement results, check the following:<br />
• The sensor ring (3) for contamination. Pay special<br />
attention to contamination between the teeth of the<br />
sensor ring. If necessary, clean the sensor ring.<br />
• The sensor ring (3) for damage and serious corrosion.<br />
Even the most minute damage can cause an ABS fault.<br />
If necessary, replace the combined sensor ring/brake<br />
disc.<br />
• Whether the sensor (1) can move in the clamping bush<br />
(2). If the sensor cannot move, remove the sensor,<br />
clean it and refit it (see the workshop instructions,<br />
DW050821). If necessary, replace the clamping bush.<br />
Never use a hammer to tap the sensor<br />
into the swivel axle. This may damage<br />
both the sensor and the sensor ring.<br />
• The wheel bearing play.<br />
• The tyre size.<br />
• The wheel speed sensor wiring.<br />
• The wheel speed sensor resistance value.<br />
• The operation of the ABS system.<br />

Inspecting the rear wheel hub<br />
1. Check the hub, the wheel bearings and the inner and<br />
outer bearing races for wear and damage. If necessary,<br />
replace them. The wheel bearings and the inner and<br />
outer races must be replaced as pairs.<br />
2. Blow the wheel bearing cages dry with compressed air.<br />
Installing the rear wheel hub<br />
1. If removed, fit the wheel bearing outer races into the<br />
wheel hub using the special tool (ZF no. 5870 050 007<br />
and 5870 260 004).<br />
2. Lubricate the wheel bearings as indicated using the<br />
specified wheel bearing grease (see 0 - 3.2 ZF A-132<br />
wheel hubs (3 -2)).<br />
Comment<br />
Apply a thick layer of grease to the inside, outside and front<br />
of the wheel bearing.<br />
The total quantity of grease per bearing is 130 - 150 g.<br />
3. Fit the wheel bearing inner race (10) on the disc brake<br />
side. In order to ensure that the bearing lays correctly<br />
against the wheel bearing outer race, push the wheel<br />
bearing inner race firmly into place and rotate the bearing<br />
a number of times (roll in).<br />
Comment<br />
The wheel bearing inner race on the brake disc side can be<br />
recognized by the groove for the O-ring (11).<br />
4. Turn the wheel hub over and place the wheel hub,<br />
together with the wheel bearing, on an assembly driver<br />
so that the wheel bearing inner race is supported.<br />
5. Fit the outer wheel bearing inner race (7) into the wheel<br />
hub.<br />
In order to ensure that the bearing lays correctly against<br />
the wheel bearing outer race, push the wheel bearing<br />
inner race firmly into place and rotate it a number of times<br />
(roll in).<br />
It is essential that the wheel bearing inner races are<br />
assembled free of play.<br />

6. Use the locking ring (9) to connect both wheel bearing<br />
inner races. Check whether both wheel bearing inner<br />
races are correctly connected to each other using the reference<br />
measure 140 ± 0.4 mm.<br />
7. Use the special tool (ZF no. 5870 051 053) to fit a new oil<br />
seal (6) in the wheel hub. NOTE: the oil seal should have<br />
the words "OELSEITE/OILSIDE" facing upwards.<br />
8. Use the special tool (ZF no. 5870 051 053) to fit a new oil<br />
seal (12) in the wheel hub on the brake disc side. NOTE:<br />
the oil seal should have the words "OELSEITE/OILSIDE"<br />
facing upwards.<br />
9. Fit a new O-ring (11) in the bearing inner race’s groove.<br />
10. Fit the brake disc (13) on the wheel hub (8). Tighten the<br />
attachment bolts to the specified torque (see<br />
0 - 2.1.2 Rear axle wheel hub tightening<br />
torques (2 -3)).<br />
11. Carefully check the axle stub’s screw thread for damage.<br />
ILAd0040<br />
It is not permitted to install a wheel hub to<br />
an axle stub with a damaged screw<br />
thread.<br />
4<br />
12. Apply a thin, even layer of anti-corrosion agent to the<br />
axle stub (see 0 - 1. General information (1 -1)).<br />
Comment<br />
Do not apply too much anti-corrosion agent to the axle stub.<br />
When installing the wheel hub, the excess anti-corrosion<br />
agent will collect at the rear of the wheel hub.<br />
When using the vehicle, it may flow away and give the<br />
impression that the oil seal leaks.<br />

15. Use the mobile hoisting equipment to place the wheel<br />
hub exactly in front of the axle stub. Slide the wheel hub<br />
on to the axle stub.<br />
When doing so, make sure the wheel hub does not rest<br />
on the guide sleeve; it is not able to take the weight of the<br />
wheel hub.<br />
16. Fit the hub nut (5). Note the position of the hub nut; the<br />
camber should point outwards.<br />
Tighten the hub nut to the specified torque (see<br />
0 - 2.1.2 Rear axle wheel hub tightening<br />
torques (2 -3)). When tightening the hub nut, rotate<br />
the hub a couple of turns in both directions. Use the special<br />
tool (ZF no. 5870 401 146) to do this.<br />
17. Fit the locking plate (4). Fit the locking plate so that the<br />
locking lip is on the inside.<br />
18. Fit the lock nut (3). Note the position of the lock nut; the<br />
camber should point inwards.<br />
Tighten the lock nut to the specified torque (see<br />
0 - 2.1.2 Rear axle wheel hub tightening<br />
torques (2 -3)).<br />
Use the special tool (ZF no. 5870 401 146) to do this.<br />
19. Check again whether the wheel bearings have been<br />
installed correctly.<br />
• If the wheel bearing inner race locking ring has been fitted<br />
correctly, then the axle stub will protrude 1.5 mm<br />
from the lock nut.<br />
• If the wheel bearing inner race locking ring has NOT<br />
been fitted correctly, the axle stub will be flush with the<br />
lock nut.<br />
20. Lock the lock nut (3) with the locking plate (4).<br />
21. Push the wheel speed sensor against the sensor ring.<br />
The air gap between the sensor and the sensor ring will<br />
be automatically set whilst driving.<br />
If the sensor is stuck, remove it, clean it and reinstall it.<br />
22. Fit the axle shaft (1) with a new O-ring (2).<br />
Tighten the bolts to the specified torque (see<br />
0 - 2.1.2 Rear axle wheel hub tightening<br />
torques (2 -3)).<br />
23. Fit the brake caliper and the brake caliper bracket (see<br />
group 6).<br />
24. Fit the wheel (see group 7).<br />
25. Check the operation of the ABS system.<br />
3 - 8<br />
If, when tightening the hub nut, an<br />
increase in the wheel bearing roll<br />
moment is not observed or axial wheel<br />
bearing play is felt, then it is possible that<br />
the wheel bearing locking ring has been<br />
installed incorrectly.<br />
Never tap the sensor ring with a hammer.<br />
This may damage both the sensor and<br />
the sensor ring.<br />
