Use synthetic grease for ball bearing. Refer to section Technical data
- Lubricant specifications.
● Using a jack, lift the axle until the tire
no longer touches the ground.
● Unscrew the hub dust cap (1).
● Remove the grease by cleaning the
cap and the bearing.

● Check the torque of the wheel hub assembly as follows:
- Torque the castle nut (3) to 258 NM to ensure seating of the bearing
assembly.
- Unscrew the castle nut to the next slot to allow the cotter pin installation.
This step releases pressure on bearings in order to prevent overheating.
- Check the assembly. Make sure there is no gap in the bearing assembly
by moving the tire. Make sure the wheel can be easily rotated by hand.
If checks fail, redo the steps.
● Reinstall the cotter pin (2).
● Cover the bearing with synthetic grease for ball bearing. Completely fill the
gap with grease between the bearing and the hub.
● Fill the cap with grease and reinstall it.
