Rear Wheel Bearings
Use Cup Grease
The rear wheel bearings should be lubricated every
5000 miles. Jack up rear of car and remove the wheel
from the hub. (See page 31 for method of removing and
installing wheels.) Withdraw cotter key and remove nut
from end of axle shaft. Pull hub and brake drum off the
shaft.
Unscrew four screws holding grease deflector "A" and
remove deflector. Remove four screws from bearing cap
"B" and remove cap and shims "C." Remove bearing and
insert ten (10) ounces of grease in the housing.
Wash the cap and bearing in kerosene and replace bearing after filling with grease. Renew the
felt washer in the bearing cap, if necessary. Replace shims and bearing cap. Replace the grease
deflector. See that all brake parts and the brake drum are free from grease before replacing the
hub and wheel.
Steering Gear
Use High-Grade Gear Oil—Heavy Body
Remove plug "A" and fill the steering gear housing every
2000 miles. The use of a good grade heavy bodied gear oil is
necessary to provide free operation under all climatic condi-
tions. (Do not use grease.)
If the steering becomes stiff and complete lubrication of
the unit and the attached parts connecting with the front
wheels does not correct the condition, follow the instructions
on page 29 for adjustment and alignment of the steering gear.
Noise in the unit may be due to use of oil of insufflcient body.
Stiff operation ma, be experienced in cold weather if poop oil
or grease is used.
