(Part No. KC7095)
2. Hardened Washer
(Part No. WA0366)
11. Install the remaining capscrews in the holes
marked "X" (Figure 3-5). Progressively increase
the torque in a circular pattern until the tapered
piston breaks loose, or 1580 ft. lbs. (2142 N.m)
torque is reached.
12. If the specified torque is reached and the tapered
parts have not separated, apply heat to the spindle
at two places, 180° apart.
Do not exceed 850°F (454°C) saturated tem-
perature of the spindle.
13. Tighten the capscrews again to the maximum
specified torque, and using a large hammer and
heat applied as above, carefully tap the spindle on
the top surface.

14. Lower wheel hub and spindle assembly away from
suspension piston rod. Use care during removal
to prevent damage to suspension piston rod taper
and tapered spindle bore.
15. Move spindle and hub assembly to clean work
