I am replacing the rear axle on my john deere 410 backhoe (1983 I think).
The question I have is how to properly torque the bolt that screws into the axle shaft on the planetary pinion carrier. The book says to torqe the bolt 180-240 foot lbs to get the preload set to 8-12 lbs, which I understand, however do you have to then remove the bolt to install the lockplate?
If I am understanding the book, the lockplate is installed after the bolt is torqued which doesn't make sense to me.
If anybody can help, thanks.
