7. Remove nut retainer, jam nut and tab washer that se-
cure wheel hub to spindle. Slide wheel hub with bearings
from spindle.
8. Disassemble wheel hub:
A. Remove grease seal from the wheel hub taking
care to not damage the hub bore. Discard seal.
B. Remove bearing cones from both sides of wheel
hub. Clean bearings in solvent. Clean inside of hub.
C. If necessary, remove bearing cups from hub.
