Default 1995 EZGO Dana Axle rebuild

My cart is 20 years old. Rear end is giving me no noticeable trouble, but is it time to rebuild? I am thinking that at least the axle bearings should be replaced as I expect they have never been repacked or replaced. There are a mess of bearings in the DANA housing, but I assumed these have been 'splashed' regularly by the gear oil. Recommendations and thoughts please. Looks like a project that requires special tools too. Has anyone had this done by a local golf cart shop?

Can't help out with any info but just had to reply. Back in the mid '80s I worked for Dana and assembled these axles. Can't remember much about them though.

Here's some info on a rear end rebuild That will show you how it's done


http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/elect...tml#post658807

Pull the motor off. Remove # 23 Retaining Ring, then pull out # 12, the input shaft, Bearing #15 and 16 will come out with the shaft. Check # 20 the O ring before you reinstall the input shaft

If there are no strange noises, no odd vibrating or hitching at speed leave it alone. No good comes of fixing something that wasn't broken.

I would at least change the differential oil. By changing it and looking at the oil coming out you'll have a better idea of wear.

Can the input shaft bearings be replaced without pulling the Dana Axle apart?
