To adjust rear wheel bearings, jack up rear axle and remove both rear wheels. Remove the four nuts from bearing cap
"A"  and  remove  cap.  By  removing  shims  "B"  under  the  cap  the  end  play  of  the  axle  shaft  is  decreased.  Total  play
between axle shafts should be from .005" to .010" (.12 to .25 mm.) which is perceptible by pulling shaft in and out with
the hand. It is necessary that the thickness of shims at each rear wheel be approximately the same, so when adjusting
remove a thin shim from each side and repeat, if necessary, until only a slight amount of play is evident. Be sure the axle
shafts turn freely before building up.

Removing and Installing Wheels

To remove a wheel, place a screwdriver between the hub cap and hub and pry off cap. Loosen the four cap screws "B"
(illustration 

top of page

) with the socket wrench provided. Remove one cap screw in the lowest position and insert the

handle of the wrench through the screw hole into the hub. While holding the wheel in position with the wrench, remove
the other cap screws and lift off the wheel. The wheels should be jacked up just sufficiently to clear the ground. When
replacing the wheel, place the handle of the wrench through the lower cap screw hole, lift up on the wrench so that the
wheel  will  clear  the  ground  and  push  in  place. Align  by  moving  wrench  back  and  forth.  Then  start  two  of  the  cap
screws, remove the wrench and start the remaining two. Tighten every other cap screw until all are down enough to
hold wheel in place, making sure it is square on the hub. Continue tightening every other screw until all are secure.
