Checking the wheel hub bearing play (Fig. 134/2)
To check the wheel hub bearing play, lift the axle
until the tyres are free. Release the brake. Apply
a lever between the tyre and the ground and
check the play.
For tangible bearing play:
Adjusting the bearing play
1. Remove the dust cap or hub cab.
2. Remove the splint from the axle nut.
3. Tighten the wheel nut whilst turning the
wheel until the wheel hub does not turn
quite as easily.
4. Turn the axle hole back to the next possible
splint hole. If it covers the same area, up to
the next hole (max. 30°).
5. Insert the splint and bend it lightly.
6. Fill the dust cap with some long-life grease
and push it or screw it into the wheel hub.
