7. Lay down hub and rotor with inside grease seal down. Knock out inner bearing and
grease seal using wood or plastic dowel and hammer.
8. Clean all parts thoroughly with kerosene.
9. Check all bearings and races for chips or roughness of any kind. Any damaged

Torque wheels to 100 ft. lbs.
When greasing bearings by hand, place a glob of grease in the palm of one hand and
push the large end of the bearing down into the grease (see illustration). Keep turning
the bearing around and forcing it down through the grease until the grease is extruded
up through the opposite end. Wipe the extra grease in your hand around the outside of
the bearing. It’s not necessary to fill the hub and dust cap with grease.
