LUBRICARE AND BEARING SERVICE

however, 'operat ion under conditions where
mud and water are frequently encountered may
require more frequent lubrication. See para-
graph 8-14.
c. Rear Wheel Bearing Lubricare
Rear wheel bearings need not be lubricated
more often than 20,000 miles. Whenever rear
brakes are relined, or axle shafts are removed
for other work, it is ad
visable
to inspect rear
wheel bearings and oil seals. Replace seals if
leaking or worn. Fill rear wheel bearings and
space between oil seals with wheel bearing
lubricant. Coat leather edges of seals with
lubricant before installation of axle shafts.
d. Speedometer Cable Lubricare
The speedometer cable is factory lubricated
with special grease which will last indefinitely
under normal operating conditions. In extreme-
ly hot climates, or where considerable dust and
water is encountered it may be necessary to
lubricate the cable at intervals of approx-
imately 20,000 miles or every two years. See
paragraph 10-68.
e. Lubricare of Miscellaneous Rubber Parts
Rubber parts such as door weatherstrips,
cowl ledge lacing, stabilizer
bushings,
etc., do
not require Lubricare unless they are causing
squeaks.
If
Lubricare becomes
necessary,
make
certain that the lubricant used is not injurious
to rubber. Where the lubricant can be spread
on the rubber part use
Lubriplate
or white
vaseline. Where a penetrating liquid lubricant
is required use G. M. Ru
