Wheel Hub Assembly
If you are unfamiliar with this procedure, please refer to
Section 9.6, Steer Axle Wheel Bearing Maintenance for
additional information.
Refer to Section 11, page 11.0-2, for cushion steer wheel
bearing cup nomenclature.
1.
If bearings are to be replaced and bearing cups
were removed, install new bearing cups by
pressing or driving into place in wheel hub.
Refer to Section 9.6, Steer Axle Wheel Bearing
Maintenance.
NOTE
Keep serviceable bearing cups and
cones matched together. Always
replace bearing cups and cones as a
set.
Recommended Greasing Procedure:
1)
Use Grade No. 1 EP Lithium soap base
multi-purpose grease, Clark MS-9B or
equivalent.
2)
All tapered roller bearings to be packed with
grease before assembly.
3)
Tie rod bearings to be filled using a grease
gun after axle is reassembled.
4)
Apply coating of Grade No. 2EP Lithium
soap base multi-purpose grease, Clark MS-
107C or equivalent, to inside diameter of oil
seals prior to assembly.
2.
Pack the bearing with grease and install the
inner bearing in the hub.
3.
Apply lubricant to and install new grease seal in
wheel hub bore.
See above for greasing procedure.
4.
Install wheel hub on spindle.
NOTE
Be careful not to damage seal lip
when moving the hub over the end of
the spindle and threads. Support the
wheel hub to avoid dragging the
grease seal at the back side over the
spindle.
5.
First pack with grease and then install the outer
wheel bearing.
6.
Install bearing washer and nut and tighten
spindle (bearing adjusting) nut until there is a
slight binding or drag in the bearings as wheel or
hub is rotated by hand in both directions. Then,
back nut off to nearest slot in nut and lock with
cotter pin. Bend tabs on cotter pin.
7.
Recheck for correct bearing adjustment by
rotating the wheel by hand. Wheel should rotate
freely or with only slight "drag". Readjust
bearings by adjusting spindle nut as necessary
to avoid binding in bearings.
8.
Pack the area around spindle nut with grease.
9.
Install hubcap by tapping into place with rubber
or plastic-faced hammer.
10.
Install wheel and tire assembly on hub.
11
Install wheel mounting lug nuts. Tighten wheel
mounting nuts to torque spec: 265-338 Ib-ft
(359458 Nm).
