3. Remove the wheel and release the brake.
NOTE: Make sure that the vehicle is completely immobilized.
4. Remove the hubcap.
5. Remove the cotter pin or hair pin clip from the castle nut, and then remove the castle nut.
6. Remove the hub/drum assembly (with a hub puller if necessary), the outer races, the grease
seals inside the hub (depending on the model), the inner race and the small bearing cage.
7. Inspect and clean all the parts that were removed. The outer races and grease seals can stay
inside the hub during cleaning.
8. Remove the cage and inner ring of the large bearing from the spindle (with an extractor if
necessary).
9. Check the condition of the seal between the spindle and the large bearing (or the condition of
the wheel bearing seal, depending on the model). Replace these parts if necessary, using a
puller to remove the wheel bearing seal if needed. Note the position of the seal for
reassembly.
10. Inspect the bearing and seal contact surfaces on the spindle, as well as the threads on the
end of the spindle. Remove any bumps or burrs.
11. Repeat the process for the hub.
12. Check the contact surface of the castle nut.
13. Clean and degrease all these parts with a suitable product.
To reassemble and grease the wheel bearings:
1. Apply a coat of grease to the spindle.
2. Put the oil seal or wheel bearing seal on in the correct direction.
NOTE: Using a driver makes it easier to insert a wheel bearing seal and
protects the seal.
3. Apply a generous coat of grease to the cage and bearings in the large bearing, making sure to
get grease around the bearings and under the cage.
4. Put the inner race of the large bearing all the way onto the spindle. Be careful to avoid
damaging the bearing cage. If needed, use a tool to put the inner race/rollers/cage assembly
back on the spindle, as shown in Figure 37. The force must only be applied to the inner race,
and never to the cage or rollers, which could damage the bearing.
5. Apply a coat of grease (15 mm for small axles, 20 mm for large axles) all the way around and
across the outer races of the large and small bearings that remained in the hub. For hubs
without a grease retainer, put a generous amount of grease in the centre of the hub bore.
6. Slide the hub/drum assembly onto the spindle and brake shoes, keeping it perfectly centred
and on the pin, making sure to insert the joint all the way back on the spindle.
7. Apply a generous coat of grease to the cage and rollers of the small bearing, and put the small
bearing on the spindle.
