It is recommended that you re-
pack these bearings at 12,000

Use only a multipurpose No. 1

pitted, replace any damaged part.
NOTE: Should you be concerned
about heat in wheel bearings,
check them occasionally while
traveling by placing hand on hub.

hand momentarily on the hub.
Should it be extremely hot, it is
recommended to have the bear-
ings inspected by a qualified
service center.
NOTE: During break-in period
(first 500 miles) (800 kilometers)
your hubs may feel extra warm
due to brake shoes setting in with
the brake drum.

Lug nuts must be checked at 10,
25, and 50 miles (15, 40 and 100
kilometers) when new or after
tire removal, then every 3,000
miles. After this, lug nuts should
be periodically checked for
safety, especially before any long
trip and extensive braking or a
tire change.
Tighten lug nuts to 85-95 ft.
pounds torque for 12" tires and
50-75 pounds torque for 13" tires
