FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS AND HUBS
See General Warnings, Section 1, Page 1-1.
NOTE: The front wheel bearings are pressed into the spindle and are not serviceable. If excessive free-
play is detected the entire hub should be replaced.
FRONT WHEEL FREE PLAY INSPECTION
1. Raise the front of the vehicle.
2. Use your hands to attempt to rock the wheel and hub assembly back and forth on the spindle. Movement
of the wheel and hub on the spindle indicates that the hub bearing is worn; therefore, the hub assembly
must be replaced.
See Front Hub Removal on page 7-17.
FRONT HUB REMOVAL
1. Remove the front wheels. See Wheel Removal, Section 8, Page 8-1.
2. Remove dust cap (12) and lock nut (11) (Figure 7-19, Page 7-16) .
3. Slide the hub assembly (9) off of the spindle shaft (3).
4. Lightly sand spindle shaft to clean away any light rust.
5. Inspect the surface of the spindle shaft for surface damage. It should be clean and smooth. If severe pit-
ting from rust or corrosion has occurred, replace the spindle assembly. See Kingpin and Steering Spin-
dle Removal on page 7-13.
HUB INSTALLATION
1. Clean and apply a light coat of anti-seize lubricant to the spindle shaft (3).
2. Slide the hub assembly (9) onto the spindle shaft (Figure 7-19, Page 7-16) .
3. Install a new flanged lock nut (11) and tighten to 36 ft-lb (50 N·m).
4. Rotate the hub. The hub should rotate smoothly without binding, side play, or any indication of rough
spots during rotation.
5. Install the dust cap (12) using a rubber mallet and tapping lightly around the edge of the cap.
6. Repeat the procedure for the opposite wheel.
7. Install wheels and finger-tighten lug nuts.
