Wheel Bearing Adjustment<br />
Special Instructions<br />
Adjustments<br />
Never work under a vehicle supported by only a jack. Always support vehicle with stands. Block the wheels and make sure<br />
the vehicle will not roll before releasing the brakes.<br />
Procedure - Wheel End Seal<br />
1. Remove:<br />
The outer bearing and wheel.<br />
The inner bearing.<br />
The oil seal or grease retainer and discard.<br />
The old wear sleeve (2-piece design only) with a ball peen hammer and discard.<br />
Wheel end seals can be easily damaged during handling. Leave the seal in its package until installation to prevent damage<br />
or contamination.<br />
Do not cut through the old wear sleeve. Damage to the housing may result.<br />
2. Inspect:<br />
The spindle journal and hub bore for scratches or burns. Recondition with emery cloth as required.<br />
Note: Deep gouges can be repaired by filling gouge with hardened gasket and smoothing with emery cloth.<br />
3. Clean:<br />
The hub cavity and bearing bores before reassembly. Be sure to remove contaminants from all recesses and corners.<br />
The bearings thoroughly with solvent and examine for damage. Replace damaged or worn bearings.<br />
Before installation, lubricate with the same lubricant used in the axle sump.<br />
The inner bearing.<br />
The wheel seal following the directors provided by the seal supplier.<br />
IMPORTANT<br />
Always use the seal installation tool specified by the seal manufacturer. Using an improper tool can distort or damage<br />
the seal and cause premature seal failure.<br />
