CLEANING AND INSPECTION
11 1
WARNING
Never use compressed air to "spin-dry" bearings. Very
high bearing speeds can damage unlubricated bearings.
Spinning bearings with compressed air can also cause a
bearing to fly apart, which could result in death or seri-
ous injury.
1. Inspect all parts for damage or excessive wear.
NOTE
XB wheel bearings are designed as sealed bearings which
are not intended to be disassembled, serviced or cleaned
with solvents.

Always replace brake pads in complete sets for correct

ure to install brake pads as a set could result in death or
serious injury.
