® Maintenance
Hubs and Drums
Hub Removal- Whenever the hub equipment on your trailer must be removed for
inspection or maintenance the following procedure should be utilized:
1. Jack up the wheel. Use a jack stand to support the axle. Only right hand thread
wheel nuts and studs are used on your trailer.
2. Unscrew the polycarbonate oil cap. Have a clean container under the axle to
catch the escaping oil. Examine the oil for evidence of metal particles or foreign matter.
3. Remove the outer jam nut.
4. Remove the lock washer.
5. Remove the inner spindle nut.
6. Remove the hub from the spindle, being careful not to allow the outer bearing
cone to fall out. The inner bearing cone should be retained by the oil seal.
Hub Inspection
Clean the hub with a commercial solvent for inspection. Check for cracks, elon-
gated holes, evidence of overheating or foreign object damage. The hub is crucial to
safe vehicle operation and any doubt about its condition should be cause for replace-
ment.
Broken or Damaged Studs
Typically when a stud is damaged it is due to under torque (loose wheel nuts), over
torque, or overloading. Because the studs act together to share the wheel loads, these
parameters must be followed:
1. If one stud is broken, replace the studs on either side of the broken one also.
2. If two or more studs are broken, replace the entire set.
3. A stud with damaged threads should be replaced immediately.
