h. Clean the mounting surfaces with a good
grade commercial cleaner and soft rag. Dry
all component parts with a clean, absorbent
cloth or paper. Lubricant will not adhere to
surfaces wet with solvent.
i. Place the drum over the hub and brake
shoes being careful not to damage the
threads on the studs (See Figure 4-12) . Make
sure the drum seats flat against the hub
flange and mates properly with the hub pilot.
There should be no interference between the
brake drum pilot chamfer and the corner ra-
dius on the hub. If interference exists, the hub
will not be able to function properly.

NEW CONES WITH OLD CUPS.

hubs should be installed on the curbside of
the vehicle, left hand (L) hubs should be in-
stalled on the driver side.
WARNING

STUD ON THE CORRECT SIDE MAY
CAUSE LOOSENING OF THE HUB
STUDS DURING OPERATION, RE-
SULTING IN LOSS OF A WHEEL.

being careful to align the hub bore with the
axle. Do not damage the seal. Support the
hub assembly until the outer bearing cone
and spindle nut are installed, to avoid damag-
ing the seal.
m. Install the outer bearing cone and inner
spindle nut, tightening the nut until it is snug
against the outer bearing cone. Remove the
hub support allowing the hub to rest on the
bearings.
n. Install and adjust bearings (See Section
4-10, Wheel Bearing Lubrication and Ad-
justment).

to 20 ft-lbs. of torque.

to the recommended level with a gear type
