ASSEMBLING THE WHEEL HUBS
Once a year, disassemble the wheel hubs for thorough
cleaning and lubrication.
To assemble back a hub:
1. Fit the lubricated hub onto the axle.
2. Install a castellated nut. Tighten until it is no more
possible to turn the hub by hand, then back the nut
off one notch on the cotter pin hole.
3. Insert the cotter pin.
4. It should be possible to turn the hub by hand, This
confirms the proper adjustment of the bearings.
5. Install the dust cap
