How do we repair an axle?

We begin by removing all the axle components. We do this process to properly clean the axle and also all of its components during axle repair. Because the bare housing is exposed, we examine the axle and other components closely. Then, we remove the ring gears, axle shafts, and bearing sets. Our experts will then mount the axle on our lathe. In addition to straightening the axle, we can also restore it to factory specifications. Furthermore, performing this step prevents future issues with the axle. We then replace any damaged spindle ends with our built-in replacement spindle ends. We then paint, assemble and then fill the axle with fluids.

How we perform our Axle Assembly Rebuilds

We will disassemble the axle first. Now that the bare housing is visible, our experts will inspect the components and axle. We will then thoroughly clean all the parts of the axle. We then install a replacement set of rings and pinions. Our OEM replacement ring and pinion set is high-quality. HRA professionals will then inspect and replace the axle’s bearings. Our axle rebuilds use Timken bearings. They manufacture high-quality bearings and are highly regarded in the bearing industry as well.

Next, any axle seals will be examined and replaced. After that, we replace the axle shafts. When we rebuild axles, we use refurbished axle shafts that have been thoroughly examined. We will use a new axle shaft if necessary. Then we will change the brake pads. We check the axle’s rotors. The rotor is then replaced and the brake pads are properly applied. It is then painted, reassembled, and refilled with fluid.
