“BEARING CHECK” section. Remove the VAULT wheel bearing protector. The protector is held in the hub by an interference fit. To remove cap, lay a block of wood against the side of it and strike the wood with a hammer. Place the wood on the opposite side and hit it again. -
Page 5: Oil Seals
OIL SEALS Each hub has a rear (inner) seal which keeps oil from leaking out of the back of the hub. The spring-loaded seals used on your axle are the best available for the application. The axle spindles are equipped with permanent, polished stainless steel seal surfaces for the seals to rotate on. -
Page 6: Replacing Seals
REPLACING SEALS The hub or rotor must be removed from the axle and the seal forced out. It is impossible to remove the seal without damaging it. So, when you remove it, plan on replacing it. Because seals are a high quality design not widely available, you will have to obtain a replacement from the dealer, a bearing supply company, the trailer manufacturer or Unique Functional Products. - Page 7 WHEEL BOLTS (OR CONE NUTS) If you remove a wheel from a hub it is very important to properly tighten the wheel bolts when you reinstall the wheel. Mount the wheel on the hub and start the wheel bolts into the hub as far as possible by hand.
