3. After cleaning the hub bore area, replace the
cup by tapping in with the brass drift punch. BE
SURE THE CUP IS SEATED ALL THE WAY
UP AGAINST THE RETAINING SHOULDER
IN THE HUB.
Replace only with bearings as specified in the Parts
section.
Bearing Lubrication
Along with bearing adjustment, proper lubrication is
essential to the proper functioning and reliability of the
wheel axles. Bearings should be lubricated annually
or every 12,000 miles.
To repack a bearing cone
1. Place a quantity of grease into the palm of your
hand.
2. Press a section of the widest end of the bearing
into the outer edge of the grease pile closest to
the thumb, forcing grease into the interior of the
bearing.
3. Repeat this while rotating the bearing from
roller to roller.
4. Continue this process until you have the entire
bearing completely filled with grease.
5. Before re-installing, apply a light coat of grease
on the bearing cup.
Bearing Inspection
Wash all grease and oil from the bearing race & rollers
(cone) using a suitable solvent.
Gasoline should not be used as a cleaning
agent because of fire and explosion danger.
Dry the bearing with a clean, lint-free cloth, and
inspect each roller completely. If any pitting, spalling,
or corrosion is present, then the bearing should be
replaced. The bearing cup inside the hub should
likewise be inspected.
NOTICE
Bearings must always be replaced in SETS: a
cone and a cup! If the bearing needs replaced,
replace the cup also. If the cup needs replaced,
replace the bearing also.
To replace a bearing cup
1. Place the hub on a flat work surface with the
cup to be replaced on the bottom side.
2. Using a brass drift punch, carefully tap around
the small diameter end of the cup to drive out.
