FINAL DRIVE
Hub/Wheel Bearing Installation
Front Drive Shaft CV Joint Boot Replacement Cont. (4x4 Models)
8.
Before installing the new boot, remove the grease
from the shaft and CV joint banding areas.
NOTE: Before assembly, make sure the CV jOint has a
sufficient quantity of grease. The grease will aid in
assembly by holding the internal parts of the CV joint in
place. If the ATV has been operated with the damaged
boot, the CV joint grease may be contaminated. The CV
joint must be thoroughly cleaned and the grease
replaced.
9.
Slide the new clamp and boot (small end first) over
the splined shaft, then slide (tap) the CV jOint into
the splines of the axle.
10. Position large end of boot on CV joint and secure
both clamps.
Hub/Wheel Bearing Installation (4x4 Models)
1.
Thoroughly inspect the hub internally. If the hub
bearing sleeve is damaged or shows signs of
movement, the hub assembly must be replaced.
When the sleeve is pressed into the hub it should
be flush with the outside surface of the hub.
2.
Grease hub seal to allow itto slide over roller clutch
components.
3.
Install wheel hub inner bearing.
NOTE:
All
bearings must slide freely onto the spindle.
If
bearings do not slide freely, wheel bearing torque
will be affected.
4.
Install wheel hub, outer bearing, washer, and
attaching nut. NOTE: It is very important that the
hub is not moved outward once installed, or the
seal on the hub will disengage the armature plate.
A
WARNING
The following bearing adjustments are very important.
Incorrect adjustment will increase bearing wear, re-
duce braking action, and may affect front drive hub en-
gagement, which could result in serious personal injury
or death.
