6. When reassembling, apply a generous amount
of grease to wheel hub cavity and dust cap.
Seal Inspection and Replacement
Whenever the hub is removed, inspect the seal to
assure that it is not nicked or torn and is still capable
of properly sealing the bearing cavity. If there is any
question of condition, replace the seal. Use only the
seal specified in the Parts section.
To replace the seal, use the following procedure.
1. Pry the seal out of the hub with a screwdriver.
Never drive the seal out with the inner bearing,
as you may thus damage the bearing.
2. Apply a PERMATEX sealant to the outside of
the seal.
3. Tap the new seal into place using a clean wood
block.
Bearing Adjustment and Hub
Replacement
If the hub has been removed or bearing adjustment
is required, the following adjustment procedure
must be followed :
1. After placing the hub, bearings, washers, and
castle nut back on the axle spindle in reverse
order as detailed in the previous section on hub
removal, rotate the hub assembly slowly while
tightening the castle nut to approximately 50 ft.-
Ib. (12" wrench or pliers with full hand force).
2. Then loosen the castle nut to remove the
torque. DO NOT ROTATE THE HUB.
3. Finger tighten the castle nut until just snug.
4. Back the castle nut out slightly until the first
castellation lines up with the cotter key hole,
and insert the cotter pin. The nut should remain
snug just enough to not rotate freely.
5. Bend over the cotter pin legs to secure the nut.
