4. Inspect the bearing cups (7). If they are worn or pitted, remove the cups by inserting a drift punch from
the opposite end of the hub and tapping lightly around them (Figure 8-24).
5. Clean all parts and inspect them for wear. Replace any damaged or worn parts.
6. Inspect the surface of spindle where the oil seal (6) seats. It should be clean and smooth.
FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS AND HUB INSTALLATION
1. Pack the wheel bearings (5) with wheel bearing grease or chassis lube. Make sure that the grease is
forced between the rollers (Figure 8-24).
2. If the bearing cups (7) were removed, press new ones in squarely against the stop in the hub.
3. Install the wheel bearings (5) into the hub and install a new seal (6), with the metal edge toward the hub
(See NOTE below).
4. Install the hub assembly (4) and flat washer (8) on the axle and start the axle nut (3).
5. Tighten the axle nut until the hub is hard to turn, then back the nut off until the hub turns freely. Install
the cotter pin (2) (Figure 8-24).
6. Install the dust cap (1) (Figure 8-24).
7. Repeat the procedure for the opposite wheel. Install the wheels and then tighten the lug nuts to 50-60
ft.lbs. (68/81 N-m).
