6-26. ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION OF MAIN WHEEL. (Refer to Figure 6-9.)
a. Ascertain that the bearing cup (10) for each wheel half (1 and 2) is properly installed.
Install the tire with tube and wheel half with the valve stem hole. Ascertain that the index mark
is aligned with the index mark on the tire to insure proper tire, tube and wheel balance. Join the
two wheel halves and position the brake disc (3) in the inner wheel half. Install the through
bolts with nuts on the valve stem side. Torque the wheel nuts to 150 inch-pounds and inflate the
tire. (Refer to Table II-I, Section II.)
b. Lubricate the bearing cones (II)and install the cones, grease seals(14)and seal retainer
rings (12 or 15). Secure retainer with snap ring (13).
c. Slide the wheel on the axle and secure with retainer nut. Tighten the nut to allow no side
play, yet allow the wheel to rotate freely. Safety the nut with a flat head pin, washer and cotter
pin. Reinstall the dust cover.
d. Position the brake lining back plates between the wheel and brake disc and the brake
cylinder on the torque plate. Insert the spacer blocks between the back plates and cylinder, and
install the four bolts to secure the assembly. If the brake line was disconnected, reconnect the
line and bleed the brakes per paragraph 6-45.
